NC State running back Shadrach Thornton arrested, could miss Louisville game

NC State running back Shadrach Thornton's most recent brush with the law may force him to miss the Wolfpack's Saturday ACC opener against Louisville.

Thornton, who was suspended for the first two games of the 2015 season for an undisclosed violation of team rules, was involved in what appears to be a hit-and-run moped accident late Tuesday night. He was charged with failure to stop and render aid and failure to provide information after his moped hit a pedestrian.

This is the third time Thornton has been arrested during his time at NC State, and if he's forced to sit out Saturday's game at Louisville (or more games), it'll be the fourth time head coach Dave Doeren has suspended him.
