Corey Lacanaria

The Muncie Police Department arrested Corey Lacanaria, a sophomore wide receiver, a little before midnight on Oct. 31, according to the MPD arrest logs. The 19-year-old was charged with an OWI, endangering a person while under the influence, and leaving the scene of the accident with property damage. 

Lacanaria hit the car of a 23-year-old male while backing out of a driveway on University Avenue, according to the police report. His bumper fell off as he drove away, which allowed MPD officers to find him. 

In the report, Lancanaria said he had been drinking at a party around 8:30 p.m., but he didn't know what was mixed in the drink. A Breathalyzer test revealed his blood alcohol content was .096. The legal limit for those under 21 years old is .02

Lembo said Lacanaria would not be playing this week due to a violation of team rules. 

Lacanaria has been a key part of the Ball State passing attack of late, and is third on the team with 42 receptions this season. He has also recorded 355 receiving yards and two touchdowns.

His best game was Oct. 24 against Central Michigan, when he hauled in 10 passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.
