White, 21, was charged with possession of a weapon on an educational property and exhibiting a weapon in a threatening manner by Jackson State police early Friday morning.
According to records, White was booked into the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond at 7:28 a.m. He posted bond about 8 p.m. according to the sheriff's department.
JSU basketball coach Teverster Anderson would not say whether White would remain on the basketball team.
"The JSU communications people have told me it's still under investigation," Anderson said Friday evening. "I don't want to comment on much else until we figure out exactly what happened."
White, Mississippi's Mr. Basketball for Provine High School in 2003, averaged 7.8 points, 2.9 assists and 3.2 rebounds per game last season as JSU's starting point guard.
White has had a history of trouble at Jackson State, though none as serious as Friday's incident.
He punched a Southern University player in the face during a basketball game and received a three-game suspension during his freshman season.
Last year, he was suspended for two exhibition games after breaking an unspecified team rule.
But Anderson said White had been a model citizen since last season.
"I really am surprised by all this," Anderson said. "I haven't had any trouble with (White) in a long time."
Anthony Dean, JSU spokesman, said Friday's incident was still under investigation. The university would comment once the investigation was complete.
