GAINESVILLE, Fla. (AP) — Florida linebacker Dee Finley has been charged with resisting arrest without violence after a traffic stop on campus.

Finley, a sophomore who played a backup role in the team’s first two games, also was charged with driving with a suspended license.

He was arrested Monday and released on his own recognizance Tuesday morning at the Alachua County Courthouse. Both charges are misdemeanors.

Team spokesman Steve McClain says coach Will Muschamp is aware of the incident and “will handle the matter.”

According to the University Police Department, Finley was pulled over after he drove his scooter around a barricade at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. When asked for his license and registration, Finley refused to give the information.
