Florida State defensive tackle Darnell Dockett was suspended for the Sugar Bowl, the latest in a string of Seminoles punished this season.<br>
<br>
Coach Bobby Bowden said, ``He broke one of our rules and is suspended for this ballgame. He will not make the trip.''<br>
<br>
Bowden wouldn't elaborate, but Dockett's lawyer, Stephen Dobson, told the Tallahassee Democrat that police are investigating something that happened at a store in Tallahassee's Governor's Square mall.<br>
<br>
Florida State already was without its top two quarterbacks for the Sugar Bowl against Georgia. Chris Rix was suspended for missing a final exam, while Adrian McPherson was kicked off the team after being accused of stealing a check and is now being looked at in a gambling investigation.<br>
<br>
Dockett started all 13 games for Florida State and led the defensive line in tackles with 58. He will be replaced by senior Tony Benford in the Sugar Bowl.
