NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Vanderbilt has suspended Tampa native Jermaine Doster indefinitely following his arrest tis past weekend by Nashville police in which they used an electonic stun device to stop him during an early morning fight.

Coach Bobby Johnson confirmed the suspension of the sophomore running back Tuesday.

Doster, who attended Robinson High School, was charged with resisting arrest and disorderly conduct after police noticed a fight in downtown Nashville. Doster followed some people across the street. The arrest affidavit says Doster kept fighting and officers had to use a stun gun to stop him.

Doster was suspended for the 2008 season after being charged with three misdemeanors for refusing to leave a Florida night club.

Doster is the younger brother of Kwane Doster, a Vanderbilt running back shot to death in Tampa in December 2004. The community center in Port Tampa is named for Kwane Doster. No one has been convicted of the crime.
