Virginia Tech wide receiver Ike Whitaker has been charged with misdemeanor public swearing and intoxication, according to the Virginia courts case-information Web site.
Whitaker, a fourth-year junior, was indefinitely suspended from the team on Thursday for unspecified violations of team policy. He was charged Friday for offenses dated Thursday according to the case-information site.
Whitaker is scheduled to appear Nov. 6 in Montgomery County General Court in Blacksburg. He was released on his own recognizance.
In 2006, Whitaker was suspended for two weeks of spring practice after an incident for which he was arrested for public swearing and intoxication, destruction of property and underage possession of alcohol. In December 2006, he skipped the Chick-fil-A Bowl and entered an in-patient alcohol rehabilitation facility.
