Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

I agree with those who think his dad was implying the whole thing happened because of the Alabama connection, not that his alibi is that he was in another state at the time.

I've been friends with football players at both the college and NFL levels and apparently there is just a class of chuckleheads wherever you go that think it is funny to try to provoke a fight if they recognize you as a player. Alcohol is almost always a contributing factor. Sometimes with the pro guys there is an ulterior motive.

I hope he is able to get this straightened out quickly.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

Well it appears to me that whoever advised him to turn himself in at Tuscaloosa gave him some very bad advice. If he had drove back to where the warrant was issued he could have very likely been out on bail in a day or so depending on when he could see a judge. As it is he could sit in jail in Tuscaloosa several weeks before he is transfer back to where the warrant was issued.

According to the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's website, he's already out of jail. There's no record of him being there.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

Perhaps he's trying to say that he was singled out because he is an Alabama football player. I just hate hearing stories like this from any team.

On another note, I read last night on my Alabama parent's Facebook page that the dorms at Alabama (mostly freshman now, they are required to live on campus) were "raided" by police with drug sniffing dogs and several arrests were made. I texted my son and the response I got was "we're fine, rumors were spreading like crazy". It was late, I didn't ask follow up questions. He's coming home this weekend for Easter And I'll ask him more about it, but several parents commented their kids had friends arrested. Point is, it's not just football players being expected to obey the law.
The dorms weren't "raided." There were a few arrests on warrants.

Also, that is common place every Spring. They trawl for two-bit college weed slingers all school year then lasso several up to justify the existence of their drug task force...because college students don't shoot at them, its an easy win ya know? :D

Records: Video shows Tide player kicking victim


According to court records obtained by The Anniston Star on Wednesday, video shows Alabama defensive back Deionte Thompson kicking 18-year-old Noah Frillou in the head after Frillou had been punched in the face by another man in a March 18 brawl at Crystal Beach, Texas.

One witness, an unidentified female, said after she saw Frillou “get punched and fall to the ground, she observed two males kick Frillou while he was on the ground.” Officers identified the first man as 18-year-old Rufus Joseph, a football player at West Orange-Stark High School — Thompson’s alma mater.

When officers moved the video forward to show the second man, the witness “clearly remembered this person’s white Alabama hat.”

According to the affidavit of probable cause obtained by The Star, Thompson was wearing a white Alabama cap backward, a white sleeveless shirt, and gray and red shorts on the day of the fight.

Sounds like the victim said some things he regretted immediately.

iirc, there was a similar incident (assuming a racial slur was used as was implied in the article) with rolando and some frat guy

Filing this away for the next white helmets discussion.

Well, That's not good... anytime it includes violence and such... there's a chance Saban will kick him off the team, but let's hope it doesn't happen...
