Michigan State Sophomore football player suspended from team

By AP

Detroit , MI – A Michigan State football player is among 10 men
charged in the theft of 104 Detroit Public Schools laptop computers
valued at $158,000.
Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the charges Tuesday
against 19-year-old Dion Sims and the other defendants. The
Spartans list Sims as a sophomore tight end and the school said he
has been suspended.
The computers were stolen in December 2009 to January 2010 from
five schools. Some have been tracked to Arizona, California,
Florida, Minnesota, Ohio, Tennessee and Wisconsin, as well as
Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
Sims is charged with receiving and concealing stolen property.
