Gamecocks backup QB arrested, suspended indefinitely

According to the State newspaper, USC backup quarterback Aramis Hillary and his brother, Cicory "CoCo" Hillary, were arrested early Thursday morning in Lexington County on alcohol-related charges, according to documents provided by the West Columbia Police Department.
Aramis Hillary was charged with underage drinking and drunkeness. CoCo Hillary was charged with driving under the influence and violation of the ABC Act. Both men were released on personal recognizance bonds after 10 a.m. today.
Aramis Hillary, a redshirt freshman from Edgefield, is among a number of quarterbacks competing for the No. 2 job this spring.
Athletics Department spokesman Steve Fink said he did not know if head football coach Steve Spurrier has spoken with Aramis Hillary today, but said it is university policy that any student athlete who is arrested is suspended indefinitely.
