Ohio State kicker arrested on drug charge

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Ohio State kicker Jonathan Skeete was
suspended from the team indefinitely after being arrested Wednesday
for allegedly trafficking marijuana.

Skeete was arrested early Wednesday by university police. He
remains in a Franklin County jail and is scheduled to be arraigned
Thursday morning, said sheriff's Deputy Stephen Mayer.

The school provided no other details about the arrest.

Skeete's status on the team will be evaluated once the legal
process is over, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said.

Skeete was redshirted in 2004. He was not expected to be the
Buckeye's No. 1 kicker this year -- Josh Huston, a sixth-year
senior, likely will fill that role.

Skeete converted two field goals in Ohio State's annual spring
scrimmage last month but missed an extra point.
