Well, Bonnie & Clod, hope it is was worth it. Allegedly.
Over the weekend, Rutgers cornerback Darian Dailey, along with another male, was arrested in Florida and charged with robbery with a firearm. According to the victim, it was Dailey’s accomplice, Trazelle Johnson, who pointed what he thought to be a handgun at him.
And the financial haul Dailey (pictured, No. 33) and Johnson came away with? $20. Total.
As detailed by the nj.com, here’s what led up to the twin arrests:Dailey, who was driving a black Dodge registered to his mother, and Johnson, the passenger, stopped the car directly in front of an 18-year-old who was riding his bicycle home from work just before 2 a.m. on Sunday, according to the warrant. Police said Johnson got out of the car with his face covered by a cloth and pointed what appeared to be a black semi-automatic handgun at the victim and asked, “What you got?”
After the victim said he had $20, Johnson said, “Hand it over,” according to the warrant. Dailey, 19, stood behind Johnson, 19, near the rear of vehicle during the exchange. Dailey and Johnson then got back into the car and drove away, according to the warrant.
The victim copied the car’s tag number and the vehicle was located by Manatee County Deputies a short time later. A black pellet gun (without red tip) was in plain view in the vehicle, according to the warrant.
The 19-year-old Dailey, who was home in Bradenton, Fla., when the incident happened, and Johnson were both held in lieu of $150,000 bonds. The former posted his bail Monday morning and was released, while the latter remains jailed.
In a statement released Sunday, head coach Kyle Flood said that [w]"e are aware of the situation and are gathering facts,” adding "[o]nce those facts are gathered, we will take the appropriate action.”
A two-star member of the Scarlet Knights’ 2014 recruiting class, Dailey took a redshirt as a true freshman. He’ll be expected to compete for playing time come summer camp -- provided he can extract his cranium from his rectum, that is.
