Ex-MSU football player accused in tunnel incident faces East Lansing weapons charges

EAST LANSING — Itayvion Brown, a 21-year-old Michigan State University linebacker accused in the 2022 University of Michigan football tunnel incident, now faces unrelated weapons charges a month after being dismissed from the MSU football team.

Brown was arraigned Friday morning in East Lansing's 54-B District Court before Judge Molly Greenwalt on a felony charge of carrying a concealed weapon and a misdemeanor charge of firearm possession under the influence for alleged March 17 offenses, according to court records.

Defense attorney Wade Fink, of Birmingham, said after the arraignment that he is still processing discovery evidence but "it appears there is no allegation of assaultive conduct," such as pointing a gun or threatening someone, and the case will revolve around when, where and whether Brown had a weapon.
