Do you believe there is any shot that we could get all these in state guys?

 

[Mullins2010]

Confirmed that Alexis Johnson was arrested tonight on charges of aggravated assault (strangulation) and false imprisonment.-per Dustin Dopirak

Not ALL of them. 0% of that

 

[BruinVol]

I don't know where you saw that. It appears he is being held for official charges or possibly even let go.

There is a pic in the FF where it says that above the 12hr hold

Now perhaps i am reading it wrong

I too damn stupid to figure out how to get the picture over here for you guys to see

 

[Brillovol]

Ugh. If there's ANOTHER incident lurking in the shadows, I will just have to laugh. It will be virtually impossible for Cheek/Hart/Butch to survive the media onslaught that is about to occur, with Cheek being the most likely to fall.

If anything, Cheek is one to be sweating bullets here. Butch has done everything right and well above the letter of the law and the procedures of the university.

 

[RockyTop85]

I know innocent until proven guilty but given the current press, he gone.

Yeah if Knoxville handles probation revocations the way Chattanooga does, I'd say the odds of him wearing Orange this summer are pretty good, but he's not going to be playing for UT.

Time for someone to stand in front of these guys and explain the situation. I don't think they understand.

 

[LA Vol]

Aggravated assault: intentionally or knowingly attempts to cause physical injury by strangulation.

 

[jave36]

Not. Good.

UT is going to get eviscerated in the media if this is the Johnson rumor. Someone will be fired IMO.

Since when do they send out a letter to the entire University when a possible fondling occurs?!

 

[BigOrange15]

There is no way Butch should be held responsible for this...but that means nothing. Hart and Cheek will almost have to step down or Butch may get taken down with them. It's really sad too because in reality, Butch has actually done MORE than can be reasonably expected of a coach...he just has some ****ing brain dead, dumbass players that are too stupid to understand basic rules to live by.

I just saw it. Aggravated assault results from the strangulation. False imprisonment is not allowing her to leave (could be kidnapping). Assault may be the touching of the breast because there is an assault that involves offensive contact.

 

[WriterVol]

I'm going to quit asking that this off season get better.

It doesn't help.

 

[engineerVOL]

Yes that email seems strange.

Also is Wes Rucker the laziest beat writer of all time.

This was 30 minutes ago...

We have nothing to report on Alexis Johnson.
That's not the kind of thing we would sit on if we had it.

Then...

FWIW, I saw Alexis Johnson at Publix last night with his teammates, and Dr. Allison Maurer was there teaching them what to buy and not buy at the grocery store for nutritional purposes, and nothing seemed wrong. That doesn't mean anything. I'm just telling you what I saw.

Ten minutes ago...

Something has happened, obviously. He's currently behind held, but it doesn't list a charge.
We'll see what else comes of this. We're looking into it.

 

[VolinTexass]

From what I've heard, he's been an instant impact kind of guy in his few weeks on campus. TIFWIW

 

[VolGee4]

Wake me up in August. I think I may be ready for a break.

 

[volatil]

The entire team needs to run the bleachers in Neyland every day.

Maybe they will be too tired to assault, imprison, strangle, fondle, and moon.

 

[LA Vol]

I'm surprised he hasn't been suspended/dismissed from the team. He's been at UT a month and he's arrested for a Class C felony. Against a woman. With other felony counts attached. In the middle of a very nasty, very public sexual assault lawsuit. No way he stays.

 

[MetalVolunteer]

Good lord boys.

 

[zhangliao04]

Lol UT = one long "Days of Our Lives" episode

 

[VolFromNashville]

Since the university started being looked at for fostering a hostile sexual atmosphere is my guess.

 

[amazingGRACE]

Any chance we get hit hard for all of this bs?

 

[Jackcrevol]

From what I heard, he was going to be an instant impact kind of guy in his only few weeks on campus. TIFWIW

[Atzar]

This is a nightmare.

I'm not one for doom-and-gloom, but what does it take? Do you have to quarantine these numbskulls to keep them in line?

This is all going down prior to what is one of the most important seasons in UT football history. We have a chance to show the world that we're back. Now, more than ever, we need no distractions.

Instead, we appear to be groping every distraction that comes within reach. ****, man.

He just got arrested today. With all this going on its safe to say he gone. He prob would have been regardless.

 

[38401]

This is just embarrassing.
