McAneney was taken to Broward Health Medical Center as a precaution before being booked at the Broward County Jail, where he was being held on a $2,750 bond.

The main charges are third-degree felonies. He was also charged with trespassing on an occupied structure.

McAneney, who is originally from Northern Ireland, transferred to Florida State from Division II Quincy in January. The 6-foot-3 McAneney is a kickoff specialist who averaged 60.2 yards on 49 kickoffs last season at Quincy.

Florida State said McAneney has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities.
