The Friday morning before Maryland football was blown out 54-7 by Nebraska, Terp running back Tayon Fleet-Davis was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, according to online court records.
Fleet-Davis, who did not play in the game against the Cornhuskers, was pulled over by the University of Maryland Police next to Ritchie Coliseum at 3:51 a.m. He is being charged with seven different violations, including driving a vehicle while impaired by a controlled substance, reckless and negligent driving, driving on a highway without the required license and authorization, failure to display license upon demand and failure to display “two lighted front lamps” when required.
“He’s still practicing with us and he’s still coming to meetings,” head coach Mike Locksley said after the game. “But I held him out for a non-football issue.”
The Oxon Hill, Maryland, native will not play in next week’s matchup against Michigan State, according to a team’s spokesperson.
“We are aware of the charges filed against Tayon Fleet-Davis,” a Maryland spokesman said in a statement to Testudo Times. “We will work with the Office of Student Conduct to gather all of the information.”
On Sept. 20, wide receiver DJ Turner was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol after he was stopped by University of Maryland police at approximately 1:23 a.m. He was charged with 12 counts, including disobeying lawful order or direction of a police officer and reckless driving among other traffic violations.
Fleet-Davis has had to step up for a position group that has been hampered by injuries. Anthony McFarland Jr. hasn’t been as effective this season due to an ankle injury, Jake Funk tore his ACL on Sept. 14 against Temple and Lorenzo Harrison III tore his MCL and partially tore his ACL on Sept. 27 against Penn State.
The junior running back has appeared in 10 games this season, totaling 63 carries for 265 rushing yards, 15 receptions for 181 receiving yards and four total touchdowns.
