Tennessee dismisses one, suspends two others after bar brawl
NCAA Football Betting Lines
07/09/2010 -
Knoxville, TN (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Tennessee football program
dismissed Darren Myles Jr. and suspended Marlon Walls and Greg King
indefinitely for their participation in a bar fight in Knoxville early Friday
morning.
It was reported earlier Friday that six Tennessee players had been arrested in
reference to the incident, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel. Myles, a
sophomore defensive back, was charged with assault, resisting arrest and
evading arrest, while Da'Rick Rogers, a highly-touted incoming freshman
receiver, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, per the
paper citing the Knoxville Police Department.
Both were released from jail this morning after posting bond, but more charges
could be on the way. The altercation sent two people to the hospital, one an
off-duty police officer who was knocked unconscious and also reportedly kicked
repeatedly while down.
"I am disappointed and in many ways embarrassed by the poor judgment displayed
on many fronts by several members of our football team [Friday morning],"
Volunteers head coach Derek Dooley said. "I am respectful of the process that
follows with the local authorities and with our institutional guidelines and
leadership. As I have referenced on many occasions, a change in culture is
achieved in time through a combination of education, discipline and support."
While none of the six have been officially charged in the beating of officer
Robert Capouellez, the paper cited University of Tennessee Police Department
reports as pointing to Myles and Rogers along with fellow members of the
football team -- John Brown, Matthew Milton and Denarious Moore -- as being
involved in the incident. A sixth player, Montori Hughes, is being
questioned.
It is unknown how Walls, a freshman linebacker, and King, a sophomore
linebacker, were involved in the altercation.
Moore, a senior, was the second leading receiver for the Volunteers last year
as a junior, totaling 540 yards on 40 catches with a team-high seven touchdown
receptions. Brown is a junior college transfer defensive lineman while Milton
was another top recruit at wide receiver. Both he and Rogers were expected to
contribute in the passing game right away.
In November 2009, three Tennessee players were arrested in Knoxville on
charges of attempted armed robbery after an early-morning incident at a gas
station near the edge of campus. Two players in that incident were kicked off
the team, while safety Janzen Jackson returned to the squad after a
suspension.
