ESPN - Texas A&M coach Kevin Sumlin announced Tuesday that starting linebacker Darian Claiborne and starting defensive tackle Isaiah Golden have been dismissed from the football team. Claiborne and Golden, who both were expected to play key roles as sophomores this fall on the A&M defense after starting as true freshmen in 2013, were arrested and charged with aggravated robbery Tuesday, according to the College Station Police Department.
According to police, the pair are
accused of robbing three male victims at gunpoint on May 23 after the three men
agreed to purchase marijuana from Claiborne and Golden. A news release from CSPD said that
Claiborne and Golden "arrived at the apartment to complete the
transaction, one of the suspects produced a handgun, pointed it at one of the
victims while the other suspect took the money that was present to purchase the
marijuana. While this was occurring, one of the victims stood up from the couch
and was struck in the face by the suspect with the handgun. The suspects then
fled the area on foot and the victims notified police."
Darian Claiborne of A&M literally triggered the three strikes rule in one offseason. That's pretty hard to do. I hadn't checked the Fulmer Cup Standings (now handled exclusively on Reddit) until this morning, but I don't think they have been updated with Texas A&M's most recent 6 felonies from these two upstanding gentlemen. You would think the two of them might've learned a lesson back in February when they were arrested for smoking a blunt in a handicapped parking spot. Reminds me of Cade McNown & Skip Hicks from back in the day.
That "Handicap Weed Bust" was almost exactly two months to the day Claiborne was arrested for having weed and someone else's Adderall in stash can shaped like a Hershey's Kiss. My guess is that he'll be starting at LSU in 2016 when he gets out on good behavior.
