Mavric Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson and safety Laurence Jones were arrested early Tuesday morning in Monroe, La., on charges of possession of narcotics and possession of stolen firearms, according to Monroe Police Department. Bond for Robinson was set at $750 and was also charged with illegally carrying a weapon. According to the police report, the arrests took place in a parking lot of a park at 2:23 a.m. after an officer approached Robinson's car smelling marijuana. The officer also spotted a handgun on the lap of the passenger. A bag of marijuana was also seen in the floorboard, while the stolen handgun was found under Robinson's seat. 247 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 If this is the O-lineman that Bama kept, it makes me wonder what the juco OT did last week to get dismissed from the team? LINK Quote Link to comment

Mavric Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Prosecution of Alabama left tackle Cam Robinson and safety Laurence "Hootie" Jones has been declined, according to a filing from the Ouachita Parish (Louisiana) district attorney's office. The filing cites insufficient evidence, for Robinson, on charges of possession of a controlled dangerous substance and illegal possession of a stolen firearm and, for Jones, possession of a controlled dangerous substance. Both were arrested in mid-May in their hometown of Monroe, Louisiana. A court appearance set for late last week was delayed before Monday's news. "I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men who have spent their adolescence and teenage years, working and sweating, while we were all in the air conditioning," district attorney Jerry Jones told KNOE-TV.

"I want to emphasize once again that the main reason I'm doing this is that I refuse to ruin the lives of two young men..." is equal to insufficient evidence?????? This sounds like same reasoning that the judge in the Stanford rape case used. 1 Quote Link to comment

BigRedBuster Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Sad thing is, this judge very well could have just added to helping ruin these kids lives by teaching them they can get away with anything as football players. 2 Quote Link to comment
