Perry was arraigned on one felony count of assaulting, battering, resisting an officer, two misdemeanor counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual assault and underage drinking, according to the Lansing State Journal.

Perry, 19, allegedly touched a woman outside a bar in East Lansing, Mich., then tried to escape from officers.

The State Journal said police claimed that a fracas followed and an officer suffered a minor hand injury.

Michigan issued a statement regarding its suspension.

"The University was made aware of the arrest of student-athlete Grant Perry earlier this fall. He was immediately suspended from all team activities at that time and missed two games. Based on the information at that time, Grant was allowed to resume team activities pending the outcome of the investigation. Upon being informed that charges would be filed, he was immediately and indefinitely suspended from all team activities until the legal process is completed."
