Tim Jordan arrested

[Behr]

So if the charges are dropped then what? Still kick him off the team?

I would. Im sick of irresponsible gun "owners" making me look bad. Mr Billy Badass carrying a gun unlawfully dealing drugs can go kick rocks.

Arrested in Florida at 5am with a 17 year old in the car with him, with a loaded gun, marijuana, scales, and little bags.

Does not sound good

And another roster spot just opened up...

I hope pruitt is drafting his exit papers right now. A lot of little vols look up to these guys and I'm tired of explaining why they are being thrown in jail,using drugs and threatening the police. Enough is enough regardless whether it is a starter or not
e

Tired of explaining? If you're seeing it happen a lot, then you're probably a UGA fan. There haven't been many issues with behavior pop up since Pruitt took over.

 

[Jaws]

For a drug charge without any priors? These charges will be dropped and he will report for summer workouts. You don't ruin a kids life over something like this, you take it and build on it.

What if it were a Bama, UGa or Florida player, would you feel the same way?

Do some research on Tyler Smith, a terrific basketball player for us under Pearl. He had weed and a gun...can’t remember if it was registered or not. But he was gone. Immediately. There was no question or debate about it. I expect the same for this young man. A shame.

In the Tyler Smith case the gun had an altered serial number. I’m not a big gun guy but logic tells me that is a huge no no

He should be arrested just on the fact on carrying a loaded handgun in a pocket with no holster.....

I don't think that's illegal...I could be wrong but I don't think it should be illegal as I see we will start infringing upon the people's 2nd adm. rights. Is it irresponsible? Yeah but I'm also not really big on gun control laws.

What if it were a Bama, UGa or Florida player, would you feel the same way?

No. As it looks right now, he should no longer be on the team. We’ll see what the full story is. I’ll trust Pruitt to make the right decision.

Jordan told the officers he was carrying a gun in his back pocket without a concealed carry permit, according to the warrant. The handgun, a Ruger LP pistol, was found in his back pocket, loaded and unholstered.

Inside the vehicle the detectives reported finding a small bag containing about 9.25 grams of marijuana, as well as a scale and several small plastic bags.

Jordan was arrested and booked into the Polk County jail. He remained there late Saturday afternoon, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office's website, which listed his bond at $2,000.

His teenage passenger also was arrested; the teen's name is redacted in the warrant.

The concealed carry charge Jordan faces is a third-degree felony in Florida, punishable by a sentence up to five years in prison and a fine of $5,000.

Practice getting ready to start so he needed to start eating more. Nothing to see here!

Clarification: The reason it is illegal is bc he has an illegal substance in his possession as well... however..weed is just a money maker for the gov. ... unfortunate...we may need him next season.

Sorry: I didn't read this whole thread before choosing to reply off one of the first posters and I still have not but I stand by my possible incorrect assumptions.

 

["The Truth"]

We have probably six Rb’s on the roster better than Jordan.

Are you one of them ?

 

[volKano]

Kick him. Let him get his second chance somewhere else.

 

[sonofUT62]

Well it won't take long for the rest of the sport sites to run this story for days on end.
My guess with the gun charge he will be gone.

No.....ESPN is too busy running wall to wall coverage of.....well let’s just say none sports stories.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Are you one of them ?

I bet I could run where the play is designed better than Jordan. Other than that IDK.

 

[MiramarVol]

Backfield just got roomier for Chandler, Evans and Gray.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

We all make mistakes.
I hope the young man can learn from this.
I agree on them being role models whether or not they want that status.
I hope there is a silver lining for him.

He should have learned how to behave when he was given a scholarship.

 

[JohnWardForever]

M Boys gonna do stuff; no matter how much schooling they get. Pruitt needs to get em back in Church on Sunday. As far as the Gun Permit; you don't want a permit if you think you may have to use the gun.

 

[Hacksaw]

Oh, well...

 

[GetEmVols]

Loaded gun and marijuana

Tennessee Vols running back Tim Jordan arrested with loaded gun, marijuana, police say

A spot just opened up

 

[Illinoisvolfan2]

Ah, the off-season.

What would we do without a bust or two?

 

[GetEmVols]

It’s like some people just can’t help themselves but to destroy themselves. Why the hell did he need a gun?

 

[manUTe__VOL]

Literally 100% of this thread either owns a gun or smokes weed

I’d go as far as to project that a good 30% chunk probably does both.

Getting caught sucks but it’s not like he copped an aggravated assault w a deadly weapon. Sucks it’s a felony in Florida though.

 

[golfballs]

Didn’t want him anyway

 

[VFL1127]

Dang, i just dont get it! These players just throw everything away!

 

[TAF]

It’s like some people just can’t help themselves but to destroy themselves. Why the hell did he need a gun?

probably in case ”things went bad” while distributing weed in those little zip baggies...I’d think.
