A week after being arrested on three felony charges, Central Michigan running back Thomas Rawls is back with the team. Rawls reached a plea deal.
Rawls was originally charged with one count of larceny and two counts for stealing credit cards. The charges came form an incident involving a stolen purse. As it turned out, Rawls agreed to enter a guilty plea to one count of attempted larceny in a building, which is a misdemeanor. A judge also allowed Rawls to travel with the Chippewa football program as long as he testifies against any other co-defendants in the case.
According to The Morning News, he did not take anything from the purse he did admit to stealing the purse. Although he has been reinstated by the team, it is unknown if he will be made available to play this weekend when Central Michigan takes on Toledo on the road.
