Re: Jeremy Elder arrested.

The reports were posted after the crime on the 16th around dorms on campus. Last night another bulletin was posted saying the suspect was arrested and placed on 120k bail and no further assistance is needed. I can go get the complete details from the report for you guys...brb.

Re: Jeremy Elder arrested.

If true I hate this for Elder and for the University. It is truly sad.

It is not the way one would want to see a scholarship against the 85 limit freed.

Guilty! The vols are up 5 to 1 in the Fulmer Cup standings.....this one might count as two by itself......

My guess would be he is off the team,and P Fulmer may be looking to get a transfer to UT for him .On a truthfull note,I suppose this helps make room for the 25 new recruits.

My point, if this is true and if it is Elder then I do not see the humor in making fun of Fulmer or UT since I don't recall any of their problems being related to armed robbery.

Re: Jeremy Elder arrested.

I just hope we can keep from getting this one shut down......let's not start attacking one another over this, but rather discuss it in a civil manner.

He has yet to be released from prison

He went straight to prison? Jail?

Re: Jeremy Elder arrested.

Here is the mugshot. It says "1st degree Robbery" and 60k bond for each count (2).

I imagine it's county jail.

Re: Jeremy Elder arrested.

I think that if he really is guilty of something this serious, he will have to be dismissed by not only Saban, but also the entire University of Alabama.

Doesn't the Code of Student Conduct say that if you are convicted of any kind of felony while enrolled you are automatically expelled from the University? I know UAB has that clause but I'm not sure about UA.

You obviously missed at least part of the point of the Fulmer cup. It's not necessarily what one player does...it's the actions of several teammates, suggesting a team philosophy of breaking the law, together with Fulmer's unwillingness to penalize the offenders.
