    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">BOSTON -- Boston College forward Sean Williams was suspended from the team and university after he was charged with marijuana possession.

    The 6-foot-10 Williams, projected to be a starter next season, was arrested by campus police Friday. He pleaded not guilty in Brighton District Court and is scheduled to appear at a pretrial hearing July 8.

    After the arrest, Williams was suspended indefinitely from the team. He was also suspended from the university for the summer and fall semesters, sports information director Chris Cameron said.

    The suspension required Williams to immediately leave campus. Williams, who averaged 4.1 points, 3.5 rebounds and 2.3 blocked shots last year as a freshman, was on campus taking summer courses.

    "We will not tolerate this type of behavior," coach Al Skinner said in a statement. "It is not indicative of the character of the young men in our basketball program." </div>
