Adams was arrested the Monday morning before the Bruin’s first game of the season against Virginia, prompting Head Coach Jim Mora to indefinitely suspend the All-Pac-12 defensive back.
Adams had missed the first three games of the season due to his suspension. Since his return he has 8 tackles (4 solo, 4 asst.), 2 pass deflections and 1 interception.
The Los Angeles City attorney had filed the misdemeanor charge today, making way for an arraignment in November. Per Chris Foster of the L.A. Times, the charge could come with a $2,000 fine and/or jail time of up to 6 months. Foster also stated that his status should not be affected with the team.
