Another UT Football Player Arrested
Posted by naveed2 on September 18, 2007
Hutch: Another University of Texas football player is in trouble with the law. Sophomore running back James Henry, 19, was arrested overnight. Henry is in jail on two charges: obstruction or retaliation and tampering or fabricating physical evidence. Both offenses are third-degree felonies. He is being held on a $30,000 bond.
Henry is the 11th UT player, or former player, arrested since the national championship in January 2006.
Whit: 11 different players and 13 total arrests. The Texas administration needs to do something about it.
Woodall: Either that or send all those players to a reform school, like A&M…
Hutch: The ironic part about it is the Dallas Morning News did a huge story about Mack Brown and how he just isn’t getting through to the players. And literally hours after that story printed, another kid gets arrested. Pretty amazing. I made sure to send a link to Kevin Sherrington and the Morning News. Just doing my part to clean up college athletics.
New details have developed on this. Apparently, Henry’s arrest is in connection to the previous arrest for Texas players Dre Jones and Robert Joseph for breaking and entering. The story is Joseph called Henry from jail where Henry proceeded to tell Joseph he went to the witness’ house and told Joseph, “I went over there and whooped all them n—–s last night, fool” and proceeded to tell Joseph he had disposed of the “other backpack” which contained more stolen property from their previous robbery.
We know all this because, of course, phone calls from jail are recorded…
Do you think Texas should do something about this “problem”? Should the NCAA step in at some point? Join in the conversation!
