Kevin Drew, senior defensive midfielder on the Syracuse University lacrosse team, has been suspended indefinitely from the lacrosse team following his arrest at around 3:30 a.m. Monday, October 24th.

Drew faces charges for driving while intoxicated and resisting arrest, passing a stop sign, speeding, leaving the scene of a property damage accident, failure to comply and unlicensed operation of a motor vehicle.

The car Drew was driving was registered to John Desko, varsity lacrosse coach at Syracuse University. Desko’s son, Tim, is also a member of the team and Drew’s roommate.

Coach Desko released a statement Tuesday saying that the issue would be dealt with internally.

Drew has been a force on the field since his freshman year at Syracuse. He played in all 18 games that year and was a part of the fourth best defense in the country. His sophomore year, Syracuse’s defense was ranked first in scoring defense. During his junior year, Drew played in all 17 games as a defensive midfielder and was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team.
