Former Nittany Lions wide receiver Maurice Humphrey was cited Friday night by the State College Police Department for allegedly presenting fake identification to staff at The All American Rathskeller, 108 S. Pugh St.
According to court documents, Humphrey, 20, presented Rathskeller employees another person's ID card. Police issued the citation after a witness positively identified Humphrey as using a fake ID, State College police Sgt. John Gardner said.
Humphrey will be scheduled to stand in front of a district justice once he receives a citation summary in the mail, said Tom Young, Centre County Parole and Probation director.
He will then have enter a guilty or not guilty plea to the citation and request a hearing.
Humphrey is on probation after being convicted of three misdemeanor counts of simple assault following a Nov. 23 incident in which he was accused of entering his ex-girlfriend's apartment and assaulting her and a male friend.
Humphrey received credit toward a 90-day prison sentence for time served in an alcohol treatment center in Reading.
The probation will expire in April.
Those on probation cannot break municipal or state laws, Young said. Using a fake ID is against state law, but Young said decisions are made on "a case-by-case basis."
Most students cited for using a fake ID pay a fine of up to $300, Gardner said.
"[A summary violation] is like getting a traffic ticket," he said.
It is possible to get jail time for the violation though, depending on the district justice and probation office, Gardner said.
Humphrey's probation status will not change until after the district justice makes a decision, , Young said.
Penn State spokesman Bill Mahon said the university still has not received any reports from police regarding Humphrey's citation, but added that once the information is received, the Office of Judicial Affairs will determine how to proceed.
Right now, university sanctions prohibit Humphrey from attending University Park campus and playing football.
Humphrey is enrolled in classes at Penn State Altoona, and his attorney, Anthony DeBoef, said last month that Humphrey would apply for reinstatement at University Park for the spring semester.
