OKEMOS, Mich. (AP/WXMI) — Former Michigan State defensive end Auston Robertson, who is charged with third-degree criminal sexual conduct, is now in police custody.
Prosecutors announced the charge against the 19-year-old Robertson on Friday, and the Meridian Township Police Department posted a message on its website seeking information about Robertson’s whereabouts. A follow-up post later on Sunday from the department indicated Robertson had been found and taken into custody.
Robertson is accused of forcing a woman to have sex with him at her apartment on April 8. Shortly after the charge against him was announced Friday, Michigan State said he had been dismissed from the football team.
The Associated Press sent an email seeking comment from Robertson, who hadn’t been arraigned.
