Two of the four Alabama players arrested last week in connection to multiple robberies have had hearings in their cases set.
Via the Tuscaloosa News, defensive back Eddie Williams and running back Brent Calloway will have a joint preliminary hearing on March 19 in the Tuscaloosa County District Court. The attorney representing Tide defensive lineman D.J. Pettway also requested a hearing, but that has not yet been scheduled. The attorney representing linebacker Tyler Hayes did not file any documents.
Pettway, Williams and Hayes were charged with second-degree robbery, while Calloway was charged with fraudulent use of a credit/debit card related to the incidents. Details emerging later painted a gruesome picture where the former three players “punched a student’s head and face and kicked him in the ribs and back area” that resulted in the victim sustaining a mild concussion and severe swelling.
Additionally, Williams was arrested in a separate, previous incident for carrying a pistol without a license. He is also facing a charge of fraudulent use of a creidt/debit card.
All four players have been suspended indefinitely, with Hayes, Pettway and Williams also being banned from campus. Calloway, who did not take part in the alleged robberies, was not banned from campus.
