Suspended SC guard Thornwell arrested in May

Suspended South Carolina guard Sindarius Thornwell was arrested for possession of marijuana and driving with a suspended license last May.

Thornwell was booked into the Lexington County Detention Center, according to an incident report from the Cayce Department of Public Safety. He paid a fine.

Thornwell, the Gamecocks' leading scorer and rebounder for their first six games, was suspended indefinitely by coach Frank Martin on Dec. 4 for violating athletic department policy. Martin has said he will not detail Thornwell's transgression, calling it a "mental mistake."

The Post and Courier of Charleston first reported Thornwell's arrest.
