The Tupelo native was booked on charges of public drunk and disorderly conduct within the city limits of Tupelo 1:31 a.m. after the closing of the Atlanta Club. His court date has been set for Jan. 12.
“We will handle this the way we would any other incident, especially a situation where there are differing accounts,” said an MSU team spokesman. “The team is expected back next Sunday, classes begin Monday, and we will continue to assess the situation."
Bumphis completed his junior campaign with the Bulldogs on Friday evening where he caught one pass for negative 3 yards and two rushes for a loss 4 yards. For the season, he had 25 receptions for 339 yards and three scores.
