ISU backup receiver charged with robbery in Ames

AMES - Iowa State backup wide receiver Albert Gary has been charged with first-degree robbery stemming from a June incident in Ames.

University police say the 22-year-old redshirt sophomore form Ocala, Fla., turned himself into the Story County sheriff's office Tuesday. He's being held on $25,000 bond. A call from The Associated Press to his attorney, Matthew Boles, wasn't returned.

Gary is accused of committing a June 19 robbery at gunpoint on campus. Police say a man claimed he and two others were approached by about six men. One patted him down while displaying a handgun.

The six men fled. Witnesses identified Gary as among those involved.

Coach Paul Rhodes announced Monday that Gary was suspended for three games and will be available for Friday night's game against No. 2 Oklahoma State.
