Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

Yep. He could've assaulted a guy or just been with the guy or guys who did it. We shall see. Rather odd that it took a month for warrants to be put out...gotta figure the victim or his friends knew who did it.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

Last time we had a thread like this... it went haywire... I"m thinking maybe we need to wait few days and see how it plays out.

His Father tweeted this out :

Replying to @CecilHurt @BryantDenny_UA
I understand that journalists have a job to do. Just wait until you hear the truth. Trust me, the key word in the case is ALABAMA

Is he saying that the only reason this is a story is because an Alabama player has his name involved?

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

Yeah, I wonder what he`s trying to say?
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.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

I've been premature on this sort of thing in the past, and am trying not to repeat past mistakes.

The time from the incident to the arrest is interesting, though. Could mean they don't have much evidence and are casting a wide net to try to get some. Could mean they did a thorough investigation and have all their ducks lined up. Could mean something else. Could mean nothing.

Let's wait for the facts to come out.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

I hate to hear about any of these type stories, but this one seems a little more personal.

I sat with his parents at the Arkansas game, and they were SO nice. They were so proud of their son. They were so thankful to be there to support him. I can only imagine how they're feeling now. Football player or not I hope justice is served, but I also hope Deionte isn't involved for their sake. And from parent to parent.

Nick Saban issues statement on Deionte Thompson situation

"We are still in the process of gathering all of the facts in Deionte’s situation," Saban said in a statement. "He has been excused today to cooperate with law enforcement in this matter. Once we have a better understanding of what happened, we will make a determination as to what needs to be done in terms of the appropriate course of action moving forward."

Not well versed in the penal system, just curious why the term "fugitive from justice" is used.

I think its only because he left Texas when he had a warrant out on him. Not saying he knew about the warrant before he left, its just the fact that he crossed state lines with a warrant on him

I wonder if the Dad is trying to hint he was maybe in Alabama the whole time? You never know these days.

What I got from the father's comments was that whatever happened was due to his son being a football player at Alabama (maybe an Aggie decided to start something? Maybe a still-butt-hurt-Longhorn?).
This is complete conjecture, though.
If Thompson can prove he was in Alabama when this assault happened, then great. Release that info ASAP to clear Thompson's name.

Re: Warrant Issued for Deionte Thompson's Arrest

If he was in Alabama, given the time lapse between the incident and the arrest, I doubt that he would have been arrested at all.
