McDonald charged with DUI

James McDonald has been charged with DUI.

The Penn State wide receiver had a blood-alcohol level between .08 and .10 when he was arrested at the Nittany Lion Inn parking lot at about 2:30 a.m. on July 9, according to court documents that were filed Monday.

The redshirt senior has caught just seven passes for 90 yards over his Nittany Lion career. McDonald caught five passes for 72 yards last season.

He was briefly suspended from the team in April of 2007 for reasons that were never disclosed.

It is currently unknown how the DUI will affect McDonald's status with the team.
