Having looked into matters on his own and with the assistance of the Morgantown Police Department, Coach Bill Stewart hit junior defensive lineman Jorge Wright with an indefinite suspension Tuesday.

Wright, of course, was arrested Thursday with a gun and some pot on his person … and then allowed to play in the Gold-Blue Game.

Wright, a 20-year-old from Miami, was pulled over in the Wiles Hill neighborhood last Thursday in a routine traffic stop. The Morgantown police officer smelled marijuana in Wright’s automobile.

That prompted a search, which produced a marijuana roach form under the driver’s seat as well as an unloaded handgun and a loaded magazine in a duffel bag in the back.

Wright was charged with carrying a deadly weapon without a license and possession of a controlled substance less than 15 grams. Both are misdemeanors.

It should be noted I’m from Brandon Hogan’s hometown — as we’ve chronicled here — and Wright’s arrest happened about 20 seconds from where I presently live.

Safe to say, this incident is a surprise because, though we were just getting to know the lad, what we knew was very promising and rewarding. Wright looked as though he was most likely to replace Chris Neild at nose guard.

Can he still? Sure. It’s hard to say how long this suspension will last, given uneven sentences in the past for the transgressions of Hogan and Jock Sanders. This is also Wright’s first episode and don’t be shocked if a deal is arranged with lesser/dropped charges. He could be back in an unlimited capacity by preseason camp in August.
