Roll Tide.
Four Alabama football players were arrested Monday on charges of second degree robbery.
According to the website of the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office, cornerback Eddie Williams, defensive lineman Dennis Pettway, linebacker Tyler Hayes and running back Brent Calloway were booked on charges of second degree robbery and fraudulent use of a credit card.
Calloway, 20, was charged with fraudulent use of a credit card. Tyler Hayes, 18, and D.J. Pettway, 20, were charged with second-degree robbery, while Williams, 20, was charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and second-degree robbery.
According to arrest warrants obatined by the Tuscaloosa News, Williams, Hayes and Pettway were arrested for allegedly assaulting two fellow students in attempted robberies, knocking one of them unconscious. In the first incident, police say Williams and Hayes admitted to punching the student in the head and face, then kicking him in the ribs and back, reportedly leaving the victim with cuts, a mild concussion and severe swelling. They allegedly took the victim's backpack, which contained an Apple laptop computer.
In the second incident, police say Williams admitted to punching another student in the head and face and stealing the victim's wallet while Hayes and Pettway watched. Williams later used the victim's student identification to buy snacks from a vending machine in a dorm room.
Jail records show the players were arrested around midnight and released between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. Williams was released on $65,000 bond. Hayes and Pettway were released on $60,000 bond. Calloway was released on $5,000 bond.
All four players were backups for the Tide during their BCS National Championship run in 2012. There has been no official statement from the university, the athletic department or coach Nick Saban at this time. All four players remain listed on the current roster at Alabama's official website.
This is the second arrest this week for Eddie Williams. The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office records indicated the defensive back was charged Sunday for carrying a gun without a license.
Calloway, a former five-star recruit, also has a previous arrest since arriving on campus, for misdemeanor marijuana possession in October 2011. Discipline in that case was handled internally.
