I've been told that there can be great outdoor recreation in the State of Washington. Lots of outdoor, natural activities.

Big game with St. Mary's tonight. The game just got a bit more challenging with the suspension of Forward Josh Heytvelt, the second leading scorer and leading rebounder for the 'Zags. Why, you ask?
Gonzaga basketball players Josh Heytvelt and Theo Davis were arrested Friday night after police found marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in their car during a traffic stop, an officer said.

Heytvelt, a starting forward and one of the team's top scorers, and Davis, an injured freshman, were booked into Spokane County Jail for investigation of drug possession. The amount of marijuana was only enough for a misdemeanor, but possession of mushrooms is a felony, said Cheney Police Cmdr. Rick Campbell.

Police pulled the car over because its tail lights were not working, Campbell said. Officers smelled marijuana and searched the car, and the players were cooperative, he said.

"It was close to midnight. They needed to have their lights on," Campbell said.

Both players are claiming their innocence.

ESPN has said that they have been suspended indefinitely.

Apparently they don't, uh, read the papers in Spokane. Otherwise Heytvelt might have been aware that this was how Kyle McAlarney was lost to ND for the season. Well, maybe he did read the story. Unlike McAlarney, they aren't admitting guilt.
