TUCSON - Wide receiver and senior-to-be Delashaun Dean has been suspended by Head Coach Mike Stoops.
Tucson Police Sgt. Fabian Pacheco confirmed that his suspension stems from a concealed firearms violation that occurred Saturday morning at the IHOP, 4187 North Oracle Rd.
According to police, a customer say Dean flashing a gun inside the restaurant and called police. Police responded immediately, but found no gun in Dean's possession.
Police say they then found two guns underneath Dean's vehicle, parked outside the restaurant. Dean claimed ownership of one, but said the other was not his, according to Pacheco.
Dean was cited with a concealed weapons violation, a class one misdemeanor, and released at the scene.
Tom Duddleston with the Arizona Athletics media relations told News 4 "Dean has been indefinitely suspended from the team due to a violation of team rules."
He is scheduled to appear in court next week.
