Shenault arrested in Fort Collins
La'Vontae Shenault was booked Larimer County Jail early Sunday morning on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs.
It was first reported by Kelly Lyell of the Coloradan.
Shenault was arrested by the Fort Collins police just west of the Colorado State campus during a traffic stop around 12:41 a.m.
He was released later on Sunday after posting $1,250 in bond money according to the records.
The police initially pulled him over when they observed his vehicle driving without headlights on, a police spokeswoman said on Tuesday.
The officer then observed signs of impairment and he was booked on three misdemeanor charges: driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, driving without headlamps at night and a driver's license violation.
His next court appearance is scheduled for Nov. 11. More details will be provided at a later date.
Shenault is the younger brother of Laviska Shenault, who was recently drafted in the second round by the Jacksonville Jaguars and was a standout receiver for the Colorado Buffaloes.
La'Vontae played in four games but did not catch any passes and redshirted during his first year with the Buffaloes.
He was a four-star recruit coming out of high school and a top 100 recruit in the state of Texas.
Shenault was initially committed to Texas Tech for a while before flipping to Colorado before the regular signing period.
He was expected to compete for a starting spot at one of the wide receiver positions and was expected to be on of the top receivers on the roster.
