Florida's Jenkins pleads to marijuana charge

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins has accepted a plea deal on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.

The State Attorney's Office agreed to withhold adjudication and ordered Jenkins to pay $316 in various court costs and fines Friday.

Jenkins, considered one of the top cornerbacks in the Southeastern Conference, was arrested in a Gainesville nightclub in January. Gainesville Police officers said they spotted Jenkins in a public bathroom rolling a marijuana cigarette. Jenkins was charged with possession of marijuana less than 20 grams. He was released after signing a notice to appear in court.

It was the football program's first arrest under new coach Will Muschamp, who said he would handle the matter internally.

Tide's Barron arrested, charged with hindering prosecution

MOBILE, Ala. -- Alabama safety Mark Barron has been arrested on charges of hindering prosecution, a misdemeanor charge.

The Mobile County Sheriff's Office said Sunday on its website that Barron was booked on the charge. His bond was listed at $500.

No additional details were available, and it could not immediately be determined if Barron had an attorney.

The arrest comes as the football team is set to begin spring practice Monday.

Barron led the team with 75 tackles last season. He has been rehabilitating from a torn pectoral muscle he suffered in November.

Michael Floyd has been suspended indefinitely. This is his third alcohol related arrest in the last couple of years.

Notre Dame's Floyd arrested, facing DUI charge


SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) -- Notre Dame suspended star wide receiver Michael Floyd indefinitely Monday, a day after he was cited for drunken driving and authorities said his blood-alcohol level was more than twice the legal limit.

Coach Brian Kelly said the suspension will not be lifted until Floyd changes his behavior and both the legal and university discipline procedures run their course.

It was Floyd's third run-in with the law over alcohol since 2009.
"I've spoken to Michael Floyd and his mother and, in light of what took place this past weekend, I let him know he has been suspended indefinitely from football team-related activities," Kelly said. "Football needs to take a backseat at the moment while Michael gets his life in order. ... What's most important right now is Michael focusing on maturing and developing more as a person while working to improve his decision-making processes."

Floyd, who is considered Notre Dame's best offensive player, apologized and said he accepted the punishment.

...

Floyd was driving a white Cadillac at 3:18 a.m. Sunday when he ran a stop sign about a block from the school's main entrance, according to a probable cause affidavit from St. Joseph County deputy prosecutor Chris Daniels filed Monday.

Floyd failed three sobriety tests that consisted of a standing on one leg, walking and turning around, and a finger count, Daniels said. The breathalyzer test showed he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.19, well above Indiana's legal limit for driving of 0.08 percent.

Auburn :highfive: Alabama.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- Nine workers in the Auburn University athletic department who were laid off or reassigned have filed a federal lawsuit accusing the school of racial discrimination.

The lawsuit against the university was filed Thursday in U.S. District Court. Five of the former custodial workers were laid off last May and four others were moved to other departments during a reorganization after Auburn moved from Beard-Eaves Coliseum to the smaller new Auburn Arena.

Overall, the lawsuit says 10 of the 11 employees who lost their jobs during the reorganization were black.

The lawsuit says the plaintiffs can attest to rampant discrimination against African-American workers in the university's athletic department.

Virginia Tech football player, girlfriend charged with child abuse

A Virginia Tech football player was arrested Wednesday and charged in connection with injuries to his infant child.

Xavier Boyce and his girlfriend Olivia Hutchins, both 20 and of Blacksburg, were arrested on charges related to cruelty and injuries to the girl, Blacksburg police said today.

Police believe the child was injured Jan. 31 at the couple's home in the 1200 block of University City Boulevard, police said. They did not say in what way the child was hurt.

Boyce and Hutchins were released on $5,000 unsecured bonds.

Boyce is a redshirt sophomore split end for the Hokies football team.

Under Tech athletic department policy, any athlete charged with a felony is automatically suspended from all athletic-related activities, meaning Boyce won't be able to participate in the Hokies' spring practice period that runs from March 30 to Apr. 23.

Penn State Grand Jury Moving Slower than JoPa?

A grand jury in Pennsylvania is investigating former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky on allegations of indecent assault against a teenage boy, The Patriot-News of Harrisburg (Pa.) reported Thursday.
Five people with knowledge of the case said the grand jury has been meeting for 18 months and has called witnesses including Penn State coach Joe Paterno and athletic director Tim Curley, according to the report.
.......
Sandusky, 67, who was an assistant coach at Penn State for 32 years and retired in 1999
.......
The investigation began in 2009, after the boy, then 15, told Keystone Central School District officials that Sandusky, then a volunteer assistant at Central Mountain High School, had touched him inappropriately during a four-year period, according to the report.
Sandusky quit as a volunteer at the high school in 2009.
......
A second investigation of Sandusky reportedly had been conducted by Penn State police in 1998, after it was alleged he inappropriately touched a then-12-year-old boy while the two were showering in Penn State's on-campus football facility, according to The Patriot-News. No charges were ever filed in that case.
