East Lansing — Michigan State quarterback Anthony Russo avoided jail time on Wednesday after being arrested last week on a charge of operating while intoxicated.
The backup signal-caller entered a not guilty plea during his arraignment at 54-B District Court during a virtual hearing before pleading guilty to reckless driving. According to court documents, the misdemeanor charge forced Russo to pay $800 in fines and court costs, but did not include jail time or probation.
Russo’s status with the team is unclear as the No. 8 Spartans prepare to face No. 6 Michigan on Saturday.
