DEVELOPING: Crowell Faces Suspension For Felony Arrest (UPDATED)

((HT: AJC/Towers))

Looks like the career of University of Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell has, probably, come to a crashing close...

Crowell, this morning, is in the Athens-Clarke County (GA) Jail (pictured, thanks onlineathens.com/Athens-Clarke County Sheriff's Department) on three weapons charges, two of them felonies.

Crowell is up on charges of possessing a concealed weapon, having a weapon in a school zone and having an altered ID mark on that weapon. His bond, originally set at $7,500, was raised to $9,500.

From Towers:

According to Athens-Clarke police spokesperson Hilda Sorrow, Crowell was arrested at a “vehicle check-point” — or road block — on East Campus Road at Green Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday. Officer Kristin Thornton reported smelling the odor of marijuana in Crowell’s 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. Crowell gave consent to search the vehicle, himself and four other unnamed occupants. No marijuana was discovered but a 9-mm Luger handgun with an altered serial number was found under the driver’s seat. Crowell was immediately arrested and taken to jail and the car was impounded.

Last year, Crowell was suspended for the New Mexico State game for a "violation of team rules" - supposedly for failing a drug test...

He was listed as the Number One tailback in the country out of Carver-Columbus (GA) High School when he signed with the University of Georgia...

Remember...???

We anticipate that Crowell will be heading to a place like Jacksonville State and play with Washaun Ealey- the Gamecocks seem to be a roster where Bulldogs go to die...

And how does someone get a Luger at the age of 19...???
Wait, the HQ doesn't want you to answer that...

1500 UPDATE: According to the police report, four other Georgia football players were also in Crowell’s vehicle- outside linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons, wide receiver Blake Tibbs, defensive back Sheldon Dawson, and defensive back Quintavius Harrow.

None of the four others were charged.

BREAKING: Georgia suspends 3 for upcoming game

((ht: georgiadogs.com))

According to a published report, which partially confirms something that we at OSG Sports reported this past weekend, the University of Georgia has suspended 3 running backs for their upcoming game against New Mexico State. Freshman running back Isiah Crowell and backups Carlton Thomas and Ken Malcome will be the three sitting out.

Head coach Mark Richt released a statement on the school's website saying "We have certain standards in all that we do and their actions do not reflect the Georgia way. They will serve their suspensions, learn a lesson and I'm sure, be better for it."

Please read our original story from Saturday. We were told at least one active player on the Georgia roster possibly failed a drug test. We were told whom that player was, but because we couldn't confirm it, we didn't release the name.

We will refrain from saying that it is for the same reason that we were told, but we will say that one of the suspended players was the player mentioned. We were also told that player failed a drug test, testing positive for a synthetic marijuana, much like the suspended LSU players last week.

You can draw your own conclusion here.

The question now is who plays RB for Georgia on Saturday. The suspended players were the top 3 running backs on the depth chart after the other running back, Richard Samuel, underwent surgery today to repair ligament damage to his ankle.
