Douglas, who led the team catches and receiving yards last season, was arrested yesterday and charged with making more than $2,000 in purchases to credit cards belonging to two other people, Johnson County District Court record said.

Anthony Bowman, a reserve receiver who played last season on special teams, also was charged and has been suspended from the team.

Both players are sophomores from Detroit.

The felony charge is punishable by five years in jail and a fine up to $7,500. Both players were released on their own recognizance.

"Both student-athletes have been suspended indefinitely from participation in all team activities," coach Kirk Ferentz said in a statement.

"As is often the case in matters of this nature, I am aware of inconsistencies in what may or may not have taken place," he said. "As always, we will work with the appropriate individuals and entities on and off campus as this matter works its way through the legal system."
