A pair of Florida Gators have gotten into some mild offseason trouble after skipping out on paying a tab at a bowling alley. Running back Adam Lane and defensive tackle Caleb Brantley were each charged with second-degree misdemeanor offenses, defrauding an innkeeper under $300.
As first reported by In All Kinds of Weather, the two players were part of a group that ran a tab up to $90. Brantley was responsible for $42.34 and Lane was accountable for $16.93. Neither player was arrested for the incident, and neither should be expected to serve severe punishments from the local authorities or the new head football coach, Jim McElwain. If anything, some brief missed playing time may come as punishment, but both Lane and Brantley should be expected to be in uniform for the season opener.
Remember to always pay your bills, and feel free to tip your waiters and waitresses. Remember that they don’t have access to unlimited snacks the way college football players do.
