Written by BTN.com staff(AP) Michigan has suspended running back Fitzgerald Toussaint after he was arrested over the weekend on suspicion of drunken driving.
Saline Police Department Detective Don Lupi says Toussaint was stopped for a traffic violation in Ann Arbor on Saturday night around 11:45 p.m. He was arrested on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated and taken to the Saline Police Department, where Lupi says he tested over the legal limit during a breath test.
Michigan coach Brady Hoke says Toussaint “made a poor decision” and is suspended indefinitely.
Toussaint, a redshirt junior this upcoming season, rushed for 1,041 yards in 2011, finishing second on the team behind quarterback Denard Robinson.

Hey BTN stats guy, why don’t you say how many yards Denard and Fitz had against MSU? Here’s a hint: NOT MANY !!!!
toussaint has been DRILLED about stuff like this….he has nobody to blame but himself….he MADE the decision to drink and then drive…..he should be off the team for a year….this will make other players think twice before doing something like this
I agree with you Doug.
It doesn’t say if Fitz will play any games this year or not. So is he out for hte season or just a few games or will he play in every game?
I would be shocked it Fitz even missed one game…..
