PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Washington State linebacker Jason Stripling has been arrested on suspicion of assault and obstructing a public servant.

A Pullman Police Department report said Stripling was arrested early Sunday morning on Greek Row.

Coach Paul Wulff said Tuesday that Stripling, who has started every game this season, would be suspended for the first quarter of Saturday's game against No. 20 Oregon State on Saturday.

Fourth-degree assault and obstructing a public servant are both misdemeanors.
