ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Michigan guard Zavier Simpson reportedly crashed a vehicle registered to the wife of the Wolverines' athletic director late last month, shortly before the school announced he was suspended for a game.

According to the police report, Simpson told officers his name was Jeff Jackson Simpson, and that he had been walking down the street and noticed the crashed vehicle.
