Four TCU Football Players Arrested in Drug Sting

In addition to their rise to be one of the top football programs in the nation, Texas Christian University (TCU) had another claim to fame. They were the only nationally ranked college football team that didn’t have a single player on their roster with an arrest record. That all changed this week as four members of the football team were arrested and charged with possession for sale of marijuana.

The four players include at least one standout defensive performer, and were part of a larger sting operation that ended up in the arrest of 17 students at the small Christian university.
During the investigation, all four members of the football team that were implicated were caught making hand-to-hand sales of drugs to undercover police officers.

Initial police reports indicate that most of the 17 students arrested were charged with felonies, though it doesn’t specify if any of the four TCU football players were amongst those charged with the more serious crimes.

The police report also indicates that all 17 students were arrested for selling drugs, and further arrests aren’t out of the question. Typically with these types of stings, police attempt to work their way up the “food chain” by starting with the lower level rungs in a drug ring.

Needless to say, TCU has already kicked all four players off of the team.
Not being able to play football is the least of their problems though. While Texas state law and California state law differ, any good California drug crimes attorney will tell you that because all four individuals were caught selling drugs, they would face up to 4 years in county jail if convicted.
