Suspended defensive lineman Korey Harris was arrested over the weekend on charges of first-degree armed robbery. As a result, he was kicked off the West Virginia football team.
Back on the 12th is when the robbery allegedly happened when it is reported that Harris and two others went into a Morgantown home and held two people at gunpoint- leaving with cash and electronics, according to Morgantown police.
A relative said one of the victims recognized Harris. He was, apparently, wearing his WVU-issued sweatpants with his #96 on them. One of the victims reportedly told police all three intruders were armed and one had dreadlocks and camo pants on at the time...
WBOY-TV in Clarksburg, West Virginia reported Harris was being held on $75,000 bail at the North Central Regional Jail. He is charged with first-degree robbery and conspiracy...
But, since the robbery happened at 5AM, the HQ will continue to reiterate about what goes down after 1AM...
And wearing your school-issued sweats...???
Really...???
Here's Harris at Bartram Trail High School...which was what got him to Morgantown...

DEVELOPING: Former Auburn DB McNeil Gets 3 Years In Jail
Former Auburn defensive back Mike McNeil has received a split sentence for first-degree robbery.
Lee County (AL) Circuit Judge Christopher Hughes accepted McNeil's plea deal just as he was set to go to trial. McNeil is now required to serve at least three years in the Lee County Jail plus serve an additional three years of probation upon his release. He has also been ordered to pay $2,000 in restitution.
McNeil and three teammates from the Tigers' 2010 national championship team- Antonio Goodwin, Dakota Mosley, and Shaun Kitchens- were charged with armed robbery and dismissed from the team in March 2011. Goodwin is serving a 15-year sentence while Dakota Mosley and Shaun Kitchens are awaiting trial.
McNeil was originally indicted on five counts of first-degree robbery, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of third-degree theft of property from the break-in.
“The totality of the circumstances make this the best deal,” McNeil's attorney, Ben Hand said.

McNeil Trial Date Set, Gets No New Attorney
((HT: WRBL-TV, WLTZ-TV, WTVM-TV Columbus))
A Lee County, Alabama judge has denied Mike McNeil's request for a new attorney, just days before his scheduled trial for armed robbery back in 2011.
The former Auburn University safety appeared before Judge Chris Hughes in day two of a status hearing.
During day one of his hearing yesterday, McNeil's attorney, Ben Hand, told the court he received a letter from McNeil earlier in the week informing him that McNeil was no longer needing him as his attorney. Hand, then, wanted to file a motion of withdrawal.
McNeil told the court he felt, "uncomfortable" in the correspondence, having Hand represent him. But Judge Hughes denied the request by McNeil.
"As long as the judge says I am on the case, I will do everything I can to defend my client," added Hand after the decision was sent down bu Judge Hughes.
Judge Hughes told McNeil that his trial will begin as scheduled on Monday.
McNeil's defense also made a motion for a change of venue- which Hughes will rule on next week.
Here's discussion a little behind the update by Bruce Feldman and Allie LaForce...

4 Alabama FB Players Arrested In Robbery-Assaults
Four University of Alabama freshman football players- Eddie Williams, Tyler Hayes, Dennis Pettway and Brent Calloway were arrested Monday from a couple of robberies on campus. Williams, Hayes and Pettway are each facing two counts of 2nd degree robbery.
The victim of one robbery was allegedly attacked by Williams, Hayes and Pettway. The victim claimed that his backpack, containing a MacBook Pro, was taken. An hour or so later, another incident occurred where the victim told Tuscaloosa (AL) police that he had been assaulted, knocked unconscious, and his wallet had been taken.

, face charges of fraudulent use of a credit card when he allegedly used the second victim's credit/debit cards to buy snacks from a vending machine on campus.
Williams was also charged with having a pistol without a permit on Sunday when police pulled him over after driving erratically and found a gun in his pants pocket on a search.
Here are the statements released from campus:
UA Athletic Director Mal Moore
"This is a very serious matter and we are very disappointed in the actions that have resulted in the charges against these student-athletes. In this type of situation, the Athletics Department works in conjunction with the University. We will have more to say at the appropriate time."
And, the HQ is sure, a very unhappy head coach UA Nick Saban:
"The young men charged are indefinitely suspended as we continue to gather information and talk to the appropriate people. The University and football program have strict guidelines regarding issues of this magnitude. This behavior is unacceptable for any student-athlete at the University of Alabama and not representative of our football program."
Here's Calloway doing a lot of what he did this past season... practice...

Tulane's Mackey Busted For Armed Robbery
Tulane University LB Trent Mackey was arrested last night for armed robbery...
Fox8 has the press release from NOPD...
In part:
Robert Murray 19, and Trent Mackey 22, were booked today with Armed Robbery. The Armed Robbery took place July 12, 2012 at approximately 1:35 P.M., inside of a home in the 600 block ofBroadway Street.
New Orleans Police and Tulane Police Detectives worked in conjunction following up on witness statements and leads on the suspects for approximately one month. During that time the detectives gathered the name of Robert Murray 19, who was possibly one of the suspects involved in the Armed Robbery. During the course of the investigation, the detectives positively identified Murray as one of the suspects responsible for the Armed Robbery.
Today, Murray was arrested and agreed to a taped statement. In the statement, Murray implicated Trent Mackey as the person who orchestrated the incident. The detectives investigated the information and arrested Trent Mackey. Mackey did not cooperate with the detectives and elected to claim his 5th Amendments Rights.
So, one of the favorites for Defensive Player of the Year in Conference USA, allegedly was part to the robbery and acted like a victim when it is thought he was one of the orchestrators of the break-in.
Mackey talked to Ken Trahan a few days ago at Media Day, actually, to discuss football...
