BLACKSBURG, Va. — Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell has been suspended indefinitely after being charged with breaking and entering.
Blacksburg Police say the 20-year-old Journell was one of three men charged Wednesday night after an alleged home invasion. Police said the men were arrested after officers responded to a report of a “physical altercation” at a house near downtown.
Journell, a redshirt sophomore from Ripplemead, Va., was 14 of 17 on field goal attempts this season.

Journell’s attorney, Brian Scheid, did not immediately return a telephone message.
