And Hootie Jones
Cam, I have Hugh Freeze on line 1.
Alabama’s Cam Robinson, Hootie Jones Arrested In Louisiana Monday Night
Matt Lombardi
Two Alabama football players – junior offensive lineman Cameron Robinson and junior defensive back Laurence Hootie Jones – were arrested Monday night in Monroe, Louisiana on multiple charges.
According to the Monroe Police Department, Robinson and Jones were found parked in their vehicle in Forsythe Park after hours. Officers recovered a bag of marijuana along with two handguns – one of which was allegedly stolen. Both were arrested and booked in the Ouachita Parish Correctional Cetner.
Robinson is being charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance, the illegal carrying of a weapon and the illegal possession of a stolen firearm – which is a felony. Jones is being charged with possession of a controlled dangerous substance and the illegal carrying of a weapon.
Both were booked just after 3:30 AM. Robinson’s bond was set at $750. Jones’ bond is not listed at this time.
Jones Robinson
Alabama has yet to release a statement on the matter.

First round pick. He only cost himself millions. No big deal.
Lsu becoming more of a threat to win west than they already were
And did you notice how al.com didn't shy away from posting the story? CL sux so bad. Embarrassing that you can't even cover the state's main stories in sports. Embarrassing that you have to quote other news sources instead of writing your own. Should be ashamed of yourselves.
I hammer journalism a lot, but I will say that al.com is very good at reporting information in a timely manner. They do a pretty good job and seem to me to report information without bias pretty consistently, especially when it comes to sports in the state.Quote:

Bye, bye football. Hello, sex-in-the-butt PRISON.
OM twitters say this is proof that Freeze and OM innocent of all allegations
Firearm felonies are about the only malfeasance they have not been connected to... someone needs to look harder.Quote:

He was arrested in Louisiana which is the home of lsu... The school he shunned to go to their biggest rival. This may play a part in his outcomeQuote:

Color me skeptical. Its not like its difficult for money to travel from Tuscaloosa to Monroe, LA if thats what it takes to bury it. You can bet in the very least that he will have some elite, high dollar defense attorney representing him that he in no way could probably afford under normal circumstances. That's usually all it takes to turn a felony into a misdemeanor. Quite simply, under the current climate in the past few years we've seen probably a double digit number of high profile FBS players charged with drug possession, aggravated assault, rape, etc, and miss minimal games or even no games in some cases. I don't see why this would be much different, especially when it involves a program with the prestige and resources of an Alabama.Quote:

I'd be willing to bet that he is able to plea it down though. There won't be a felony charge. You're kidding yourself if you think otherwise.Quote:
