A warrant out for Oklahoma sophomore defensive tackle DeMarcus Granger was quashed Friday by a Tempe Municipal Court judge after Granger's attorney filed the motion by fax, according to acting deputy Jeanette Wiesenhofer of the Tempe (Ariz.) Municipal Court criminal division.

A pre-trial hearing has been scheduled for March 3 when Granger or his attorney, Jess Lorona of Phoenix, will meet with a Tempe prosecutor or plea to the court.

A warrant in the amount of $1,000 was issued for Granger last week after he failed to appear for his scheduled arraignment in Tempe.

Before the Fiesta Bowl, Granger was arrested at a Burlington Coat Factory inside Arizona Mills Mall on Dec. 29, accused of shoplifting.

Sooner coach Bob Stoops suspended Granger and sent him home, however, Stoops has said he expects Granger to remain with the team.
