SOUTH BEND, Ind.-Suspended Notre Dame star wide receiver Michael Floyd has pleaded not guilty to a misdemeanor drunken driving charge.
Floyd wasn't present Monday when South Bend Magistrate Brian Steinke entered the plea on his behalf. He also set a June 7 status hearing.
Defense attorney William Stanley says he hopes to have a plea agreement in place for Floyd by then.
Authorities say Floyd was arrested March 20 after running a stop sign a block from the school's main entrance. Prosecutors say a breathalyzer test showed Floyd had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19 percent-more than double Indiana's legal limit for driving.
Coach Brian Kelly suspended Floyd after his arrest. A Notre Dame disciplinary panel has allowed him to stay in school.
Floyd led the Irish in receiving last season.
