Former Auburn defensive lineman and current Green Bay Packer Montravius Adams was arrested in his homestate of Georgia this week, police records show.

Adams, who starred at Auburn from 2013-16, was arrested in Houston County and charged with three misdemeanors: possession of less than an ounce of marijuana, driving without insurance and suspended/canceled/revoked vehicle registration. Adams was arrested on Tuesday night by the Houston County Sheriff’s Office and released from the Houston County Detention Center less than three hours later on $2,964 bond.

Adams appeared in 52 games at Auburn, including 36 starts, and made 26 consecutive starts along the defensive line for the Tigers. As a senior in 2016, the 6-foot-4, 305-pounder was named a second-team All-American and first-team All-SEC selection after totaling 43 tackles, including eight for a loss and four sacks, while also adding two pass breakups, an interception, as well as a fumble return for a touchdown.

A native of Vienna, Ga., Adams was drafted by Green Bay in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. The Packers selected Adams with the 97th overall pick that year, and after appearing in just seven games as a rookie, he has played in 30 games over the last two seasons while making three starts. Over the course of his three-year NFL career so far, Adams has totaled 33 tackles, 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and six quarterback hits.

A University of Missouri football player has reportedly suspended indefinitely after being arrested during the weekend. Missouri senior defensive lineman Antar Thompson was arrested by MU police on Sunday for resisting arrest and operating a motor vehicle in a careless manner from an incident that occurred earlier in the weekend, per the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Per the Post-Dispatch, Thompson had previously led police officers on a brief, abandoned pursuit on Friday evening after an officer attempted to pull Thompson over for the second time in a span of 10 minutes due to speeding. Aware of the driver’s identity, Thompson was taken into custody without incident Sunday afternoon and later booked into Boone County Jail with bond set at $2,000. He has since been released, per the report.

The University of Missouri has since become aware of the incident, per the report. Per university policy, student-athletes are automatically suspended when charged with a felony. Resisting arrest is a Class D felony, while the careless driving charge against Thomspon is only a misdemeanor.

Thompson, a native of St. Louis, Arrived at Missouri in time for the 2018 campaign after beginning his college career at Highland Community College in Highland, Kansas. Thompson has appeared in eight games the last two seasons — four each in 2018 and 2019 — and was an SEC Academic Honor Roll selection in 2018.

Thompson, prior to joining the ranks of the SEC, was rated a three-star prospect and the No. 1 JUCO player from the state of Missouri in his class, per the industry-generated 247Sports Composite JUCO rankings. Recruited by assistant Cornell Ford, Mizzou over offers from Arkansas, Colorado, Florida State, Kansas, Kansas State, Kentucky, Louisville, Ole Miss and South Carolina, among others. Thompson played high school football Maplewood-Richmond Heights (Maplewood, Missouri).

Missouri is set to enter its first season under head coach Eliah Drinkwitz in 2020, who replaced Barry Odom after a 6-6 finish in 2019.

Austin Robertson, ex-Michigan State DL awaiting sexual assault trial, arrested in Kansas https://www.badsporters.com/2018/04/19/austin-robertson-ex-michigan-state-dl-awaiting-sexual-assault-trial-arrested-in-kansas-2/ https://www.badsporters.com/2018/04/19/austin-robertson-ex-michigan-state-dl-awaiting-sexual-assault-trial-arrested-in-kansas-2/#respond Thu, 19 Apr 2018 22:35:24 +0000 http://www.badsporters.com/?p=3649 The troubles for former Michigan State defensive lineman Auston Robertson continue.

The troubles for former Michigan State defensive lineman Auston Robertson continue.

Robertson, who was dismissed from the MSU program last April after he was charged with sexual assault, was arrested Tuesday in Garden City, Kansas, where he attends community college and plays football. According to the Lansing State Journal, Robertson, 20, is potentially facing four charges: “aggravated robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery, distribution of marijuana, and interfering with law enforcement officers.”

Conditions of Robertson’s bond stemming from the April 2017 sexual assault charge in Michigan allowed Robertson to attend Garden City Community College. That changed after Robertson’s arrest Tuesday in Kansas, where formal charges are expected.

From the Lansing State Journal:

Judge Clinton Canady III last summer agreed to modify Robertson’s bond so he could move from Ohio to attend school and play football in Kansas. He was required to wear a GPS tether as part of Canady’s conditions. On Thursday, Canady revoked Robertson’s bond in the local case.

Robertson is currently being held on a $300,000 bond in Kansas and is expected to be formally charged there next week, Matusko said. Robertson’s trial had been scheduled to begin in May. It’s unclear whether his Kansas case will affect the start date.

In Michigan, Robertson is awaiting trial on a felony charge of third-degree criminal sexual conduct, which relates to alleged non-consensual sexual penetration with force or coercion. Robertson was suspended from the MSU team when the investigation into his alleged conduct began. When the charge was filed, he was dismissed from the program.

Robertson was one of the top prospects in MSU’s 2016 recruiting class, but he nearly never made it to campus. He initially did not sign on national signing day because he was charged with misdemeanor battery for allegedly inappropriately touching a female classmate. From there, he entered a diversionary program and the charge was cleared from his record. Michigan State then accepted his national letter of intent on March 30, several weeks after signing day.

“Our decision to accept Auston Robertson’s signed National Letter of Intent and Big Ten Tender has been evaluated over the last three months while utilizing all resources available to us to thoroughly review his situation,” Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said in a school statement when the lineman signed.

“Our relationship with Auston began last summer when he committed to Michigan State. When we accepted his verbal (commitment), we also made a commitment to him and his family. We elected not to sign him in early February, and since then he has been accepted into a pretrial diversionary program and must continue to satisfy those requirements. Given all the information available to us, we believe Auston should be provided with an opportunity to begin his education and playing career at Michigan State.”

Robertson appeared in seven games as a true freshman, but never saw the field again. He played in 12 games last year at Garden City Community College, a top junior college program that often sends players back to the FBS level. He totaled 73 tackles and seven sacks.
