COLUMBIA, S.C. — Wide receiver CoCo Hillary of Appalachian State and his brother Aramis Hillary, a backup quarterback at South Carolina, were arrested early yesterday after a traffic stop, according to police.
According to The Associated Press, authorities said that West Columbia officers pulled over a car driven by CoCo Hillary about 12:15 a.m. yesterday because he was doing 46 miles an hour in a 35-mph zone. Police said that Hillary, 22, had a blood-alcohol level of 0.11 percent and was charged with driving under the influence. Aramis Hillary, 19, was charged as a minor in possession of alcohol.
Mike Flynn, an assistant athletics director and the sports-information director at ASU, said that facts about the arrest are being gathered and that no decision about Hillary's status with the team will be made until Athletics Director Charlie Cobb and Coach Jerry Moore review the situation. Cobb is vacationing in Colorado, and Moore is in the Grand Caymans this week during spring break.
South Carolina indefinitely suspended Aramis Hillary under team policy.
CoCo Hillary, a wide receiver from Edgefield, S.C., played in eight games last season as a junior before tearing a knee ligament in practice and missing the rest of the season. He is still rehabilitating from knee surgery and is not participating in spring practice, which will resume next week after spring break. Hillary ranked seventh on ASU's all-time list for receiving yards with 1,588.
