Another Alabama football player arrested, dismissed from team

For the third time in four days, an Alabama football player was arrested.

Running back Tyren Jones was charged Tuesday with second-degree possession of marijuana and released on $1,000 bond, according to Tuscaloosa, Ala., police. Later in the day he was dismissed from the team by coach Nick Saban.

Jones and 25-year-old Brandon Lee Hansberry were arrested Monday morning after police stopped a car for speeding. The officer smelled marijuana in Hansberry’s vehicle and found pot and a scale inside.

In February, Jones was suspended indefinitely from the team by Crimson Tide coach Saban “for conduct not to the standard of the Alabama football program.” He has yet to practice this spring.

Last weekend, safety Geno Smith and defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor also were arrested in two separate incidents. Taylor was dismissed from the program on Monday.

Jones rushed for 224 yards on 36 carries last year for Alabama after redshirting during the 2013 season.
