PULLMAN — Troubled Washington State football player Xavier Hicks Jr. has been ticketed for driving with a suspended license.

Hicks, 21, was released from the Whitman County Jail Wedneday morning after serving a sentence and drove toward Pullman.

But he did not have a valid driver’s license, so jail personnel contacted Pullman police. Police stopped Hicks when he entered town and issued a misdemeanor ticket.

Hicks had just concluded a 45-day sentence in the Colfax jail for stealing a debit card last September and for putting rubbing alcohol in his roommate’s contact lens case in January.
