Clemson defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart was arrested last week and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm on school property, according to the Associated Press (h/t ESPN).
Online records show that Capehart was arrested on Feb. 6 for “unlawful possession of a firearm on school property” and “failure to exercise due care” while driving a motor vehicle, per Jon Blau of the Post and Courier.
Capehart posted a $10,000 bond for the firearms charge and a $232.50 bond for the traffic charge, according to the Associated Press.
“He is not presently participating in team activities while awaiting completion of all league and university processes,” the Clemson athletic department said in a statement.

Capehart appeared in 12 games during the 2023 season, posting one sack, one pass breakup, one forced fumble, 15 tackles and five tackles for loss.
