Vol Players Arrested Overnight

jabcmb · Feb 9, 2014

Didn't see this posted. Viles

No details of arrest given. Coach Jones first to deal with at Tennessee.

Its that time of the year where these young men have more free time than they're accustom to having and idle hands are the devil's workshop.

They were arrested on alcohol charges per ESPN. I wonder if it was a DUI, Johnson at least has to be legal since he is a sr, no idea about the sophomore.

I'm just glad our kids don't participate in that. (now where is the blue font???)

As long as there's not more to it, I'm hoping these kids get a slap on the wrist but more importantly hope they stay out of trouble. All of us have made mistakes like this at that age.

With all due respect, not everyone has made that mistake.

No big deal here. Kids were in their apartment playing loud music. Cops asked them to turn it down. They did. Cops left. They turned it back up. Cops came back. Arguments ensued, and they were arrested. I'm not sure where ESPN is coming from with the alcohol angle. Must have been something I missed before. But in any event, leave these kids alone and let em play their music & video games. Go fight crime

I'm not gonna say much, because it can happen in any college town, including Tuscaloosa...

It would be nice if we didn't have off season news of this sort...

The Go Vols article in the OP says the former players were arrested for underage drinking.

If that is all that it was, this is not a story.

A LOT of college kids have, even some of our own.

TideWatcher · Feb 10, 2014

Right; playing music is great; but if your neighbor can't sleep you should cut it down.

Even if something were to come of this, it really won't matter. This Vol team is stacked at every position. Their poor effort on the gridiron in recent years was all part of a plot to pull everyone into a false sense of security. They shall now proceed to terrorize the SEC. Nay, the nation!

WMack4Bama · Feb 10, 2014

With this information I'd like to rescind my statements of leniency

Appears there was a bit more to the party than a few kids having a beer or two and playing video games.....

Party Time!

So what's the update? I can't find anything in those links.

Here's an update.

On Sunday news broke that two current and one former Tennessee players were arrested on alcohol-related charges and resisting arrest. Now the Associated Press is reporting that seven more Volunteers have received alcohol-related citations.

According to a police report linebackers Curt Maggitt, Jakob Johnson and Jalen Reeves-Maybin were cited for providing alcohol to underage people. Offensive lineman Dontavius Blair, defensive lineman Malik Brown, defensive end Dimarya Mixon and cornerback Justin Coleman were cited for underage consumption.

The arrested players were linebacker A.J. Johnson, former linebacker Dontavis Sapp and defensive lineman Danny O'Brien. Johnson and Sapp were arrested on charges of purchasing alcohol for minors and resisting arrest while Sapp was charged with criminal impersonation, resisting arrest and underage consumption. The criminal impersonation charge stems from O'Brien originally provided the police with fake identification that showed he was over 21.

This one strikes me as much ado about nothing. Bad publicity here, obviously, and not good precedent, but we aren't talking anything egregious in this case.

Might be a one-game suspension handed out, but honestly I couldn't fault Jones if he didn't go that far. In any event, with Utah State on the schedule, I doubt it matters too much either way.
