Two ISU Athletes Charged With Providing Alcohol to Minors

Tyrus McGee, an Iowa State basketball player, and Quenton Bundrage, an Iowa State football player, both 21, were charged with purchasing alcohol for minors over the weekend.

McGee, was seen meeting with another man outside A.J.'s Liquor just before 9 p.m. Saturday, according to a criminal complaint. He then went inside and purchased a six-pack of Michelob Light and came back out and met with the man and handed him the beer, complaints said. The man who took it was under age, complaints said.

McGee admitted to buying the beer but said that he didn't know the man. That man Ryan Lawton, 18, of Council Bluffs, was cited for possession of alcohol under legal age.

About the same thing happened to Bundrage on Friday, according to an article in the Ames Tribune. Police followed Bundrage after he made a purchase at the store and watched as another under-age man left his car with an alcoholic beverage in his hand.

The arrests were part of an alcohol enforcement sting. Providing alcohol to persons under the age of 21 is a serious misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of at least $500.

The below information was provided by the Ames Police Department. An arrest doesn't indicate a conviction. To see other charges search for police blotter.
