Two months after being arrested for robbing occupants of a home at gunpoint, four former Auburn football players have been indicted on felony robbery and burglary charges by a Lee County grand jury.
Michael McNeil, Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens and Dakota Mosley were indicted on five counts of first-degree robbery each, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of misdemeanor third-degree theft of property. The punishments stem from a March 11 incident in which the players were pulled over by police after five occupants of a mobile home reported being robbed at gunpoint.
The four players were immediately dismissed from the team by head coach Gene Chizik.
“We hold our student-athletes to a high standard of conduct on and off the field as representatives of Auburn University, and this kind of behavior is not tolerated,” Chizik said following the arrests.
Additionally, current Auburn players -- Mike Dyer and Anthony Morgan, wide receiver DeAngelo Benton and defensive back Neiko Thorpe -- may be called as witnesses in the case.
McNeil started for the Tigers in 2010, while the other three were backups.
