Gator Corner Tasered, Arrested

Last week, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel‘s Dave Hyde chastised both the Florida football program and members of the media for their handling of the Gators’ off-the-field legal entanglements.Today, Hyde was given more ammunition for his argument.According to the Orlando Sentinel, Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins was arrested on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest without violence following a fight/brawl/robbery early Saturday morning.Jenkins, a preseason All-American candidate, was tasered by police after they attempted to stop the corner from fighting with five individuals who he said were attempting to steal a necklace. After being tasered, Jenkins ran from the police, but was caught a short while later.Jenkins’ attorney, Huntley Johnson, told The Sentinel that he believed the incident to be very minor in nature and that his client would receive deferred prosecution.Incredibly, Jenkins is the 24th player from the program to be arrested in the last four years.Twenty. Four.In four years.Amazing.
