Records: Michigan State DE Demetrius Cooper violated plea agreement

EAST LANSING — Demetrius Cooper is in trouble again.

Michigan State’s senior defensive end is accused of violating the terms of his March 16 plea deal by consuming alcohol, according to documents from 54B District Court. The order to show cause was generated April 27 after “the defendant consumed alcohol on/about (April 21).”

The 22-year-old from Chicago has a hearing scheduled for 1:30 p.m. May 11 and could be found in contempt of court after accepting a plea deal for a November 2016 misdemeanor assault charge that he spit in the face of an East Lansing Parking and Code Enforcement officer’s face.
