Three University Of Tennessee Athletes Arrested For Armed Robbery
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Three freshman Tennessee football players are charged with an attempted armed robbery.
Knoxville police say wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson and defensive backs Janzen Jackson and Mike Edwards were arrested after the incident early Thursday.
The victims told police they were in a parked vehicle near Tennessee’s campus when two men, one brandishing a handgun, approached. The suspects demanded whatever the victims had but left empty-handed when victims showed they had no money.
The suspects drove off with a third man in a Toyota Prius. Police located the car and the victims identified Richardson and Edwards.
Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton says he is evaluating the incident. It was not immediately clear if the players have attorneys.

The kid Janzen Jackson is from my hometown in Lake Charles, LA. He’s actually pretty good. BUT, this dude was never a thug, gangsta, hoodlum, or whatever. I wonder what made him think this would be cool for him to do. I understand that athletes aren’t allowed to work during the season but there’s got to be an easier or legal way to get money. I’m sure the NCAA will give them a second chance. Which everyone deserves but, this might not ever go away for them. SMH
Oh puhlease! What kind of get-away car is a Toyota Prius? This story does not make sense. Are you sure their not being framed by haters? How did they plead?
