Suspended Vandy WR turns himself into police, released on bond

Indicted on Friday in connection to a sexual assault case earlier this summer, Vanderbilt wide receiver Chris Boyd has turned himself into police, according to the Nashville Tennessean.

Boyd, who turned himself in just before 9 a.m. this morning before being released on $25,000 bond, has been charged with one felony count of being an accessory after the fact for allegedly trying to cover-up the incident by giving advice to former Commodores tight end Brandon Vandenburg. Vandenburg is one of four ex-Vandy players accused of raping an unconscious woman in a campus dorm room. All four are facing multiple sexual assault-related charges.

Boyd was one of three new individuals indicted yesterday, the other two being acquaintances of Vandenburg. He has been suspended pending further review.
