Texas backup safety Tyrell Gatewood was suspended indefinitely after being arrested early this morning. He was released from the Travis County Jail this afternoon, but faces three misdemeanor charges, including two for possession of a dangerous drug.

"We're disappointed anytime one of our players is accused of wrongdoing," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "We have a great group of guys and will follow this situation closely. Following the completion of the legal process, we will do what¹s best for the university, Tyrell and the team."

Gatewood, a senior from Tyler, was arrested at 12:36 a.m., according to Travis County Jail records. He is currently being held on two separate $2,500 bonds for possession of a dangerous drug and another $500 bond for outside of the county.

UT officials were not immediately available for comment.In a turbulent offseason filled with off-field problems, four UT football players were arrested: sophomore safety Robert Joseph, who has been dismissed from the team, was arrested in two separate incidents, and freshman defensive tackle Andre Jones was suspended indefinitely after being charged with aggravated robbery.

Linebacker Sergio Kindle and defensive end Henry Melton were arrested for driving while intoxicated and suspended for the first three games.

Wasn't Gatewood also suspended last year for being in a car with a couple of other UT players, a bag of weed & a gun?
I'm not saying he's guilty (that's the jury's job), but damn, that kid need to keep his tom-foolery off the road.
So the question now is; How much of the season will he miss? I've heard Mack Brown has suspended him "indefinately". Does that mean 1-3 games, 4-8 games, or the whole season?

Longhorn James Henry arrested on felony charges

Tuesday, September 18, 2007, 09:59 AM

Updated at 11:05 a.m. with details of incident from court records:

Longhorn football player James Henry has been arrested on a pair of third-degree felony charges. He is accused of retaliating against victims who turned in a teammate for an alleged robbery.

Henry, a redshirt freshman who has played on special teams this season, is charged with “obstruction or retaliation” and “tampering or fabricating physical evidence.” Combined, bail is set at $30,000. Henry was booked into jail at 3:59 p.m. Monday.

In their arrest affidavit, Austin police accuse the 19-year-old Henry of retaliating on behalf of teammate Robert Joseph, who was arrested July 27 on aggravated robbery charges. Joseph and teammate Andre Jones were charged with breaking in to a Southeast Austin apartment and robbing several people in the apartment.

Police say that Joseph called Henry the next day from jail, and their conversation was recorded. In that call, police say, Henry told Joseph that he’d gone to the scene of the robbery and confronted witnesses. “I went over there and whooped all them niggas last night, fool,” Henry is quoted as saying in the recording, according to the arrest affidavit.

When police interviewed Henry and confronted him about the conversation, he admitted that he’d confronted the victims and gotten into a fight with them, the affidavit says.

The victims told police that Henry had come up to them and asked, “Who narked on us?”

They said that Henry tried to get into a fight with one of the men, 18-year-old Andre Swain, and told him, “Bitches deserve to get kicked, so that’s what I am going to do!” The witnesses said that Henry then kicked Swain six or seven times in the head and punched him repeatedly.

Henry is the latest in a string of Texas football players to be arrested over the past four months.

The roundup since June:

— Backup safety/receiver Tyrell Gatewood (now suspended indefinitely) on misdemeanor drug charges, accused of having Xanax and prescription codeine cough syrup in his car. Freshman cornerback Ben Wells was cited in the same traffic stop for possession of drug paraphernalia but not was not taken to jail.

— Joseph (now transferred from the team) on the aggravated robbery charge and attempted car theft charges in separate incidents.

— Jones (now suspended indefinitely) on the same aggravated robbery charge as Joseph.

— Linebacker Sergio Kindle (returning from three-game suspension this week) on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

— Defensive end Henry Melton (also returning from three-game suspension) on a charge of driving while intoxicated.

I dont know how anyone with any conscience or good morals can pull for this team. Sold their soul to the devil for a National Championship. This is beyond exceptable behavior. If Mr. Brown cant keep his kids in check maybe TU should fine HIM.

But as long as the Not For Long League allows this we will continue to see this behavior at TU:

IRVING, Texas(AP) Suspended defensive tackle Tank Johnson signed a two-year contract Tuesday with the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson, who played the last three seasons for the Chicago Bears, can't play for the Cowboys until he completes his eight-game NFL suspension for violating probation on a gun charge.

The the Cowboys have really lead the league in classless players and behavior. No change here.

The James Henry situation really is appalling. Y'know, I can have at least some empathy for these morons who get arrested for DWIs and PCS....they just have some bad habits and a case of dumbass. The James Henry story is a lot more Michael Vick-like. This is really bad, bad behavior. This isn't someone who got arrested for having too good a time too late at night with a defective tail light....this guy is charged with kicking the living crap out of a crime victim who "narked" on his friend.

It's why I'm not much of a college football fan any more. It's got everything to do with football, and very little to do with college.

Here's an interesting view of the whole situation from Dallas...

UT Coach's Stance Doesn't Cut It

1. What do you call a drug ring in Austin? A huddle.

2. Four UT Longhorns riding in a car, who’s driving? The police.

3. The UT Longhorns have adopted a new “Honor System”. Yes Your Honor, No Your Honor.

4. The UT Longhorns knew they had to do something for their defense, so they hired a new defensive coordinator: F. Lee Bailey.

5. How do the UT Longhorns spend their first week at fall practice? Studying their Miranda Rights.

6. What do you say to a Longhorn in a suit? Will the defendant please rise?

7. If you see a Longhorn football player on a bike, why don’t you swerve to hit him? It might be your bike!

8. The Longhorns employ scouts. But to look out for cops, not to scout high school kids.

9. I heard a rumor that the Texas Department of Corrections plans to build a new prison in Austin, to allow Longhorns to walk to school.

10. What do you call it when a Longhorn goes on vacation? Time off for good behavior.

11. Why couldn’t the Longhorn get into a huddle on the football field? It’s a parole violation to associate with known felons.

12. Obviously Coach Mack Brown is not paying his players if they have to resort to robbing people.

13. BOOK ‘EM, HORNS!
