(Dennis Victory | preps@al.com) By Mike Rodak | mrodak@al.com Alabama football player Tony Mitchell, an incoming freshman defensive back, was arrested in Florida on Wednesday after a traffic stop. The sheriffβs office of Holmes County -- located on the Florida panhandle along the Alabama border -- announced the arrest in a statement Thursday on Facebook. Mitchell, who played at Thompson High School in Alabaster, was charged with possession of marijuana with the intent to sell and/or deliver. The passenger of Mitchellβs vehicle, Christophere Lewis of Valley Grande, was arrested for possession of marijuana with the intent to sell and/or deliver, and carrying a concealed firearm without a permit. βDuring the stop, deputies detected the odor of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle,β the Holmes County sheriffβs department wrote. βWhen asked if there was marijuana in the vehicle, Mitchell produced a baggie of marijuana from the passenger floorboard. Both Mitchell and Lewis were taken into custody. βA search of the vehicle produced an additional significant amount of marijuana, a set of scales, a loaded handgun between the passenger seat and center console, and a large amount of cash.β The sheriffβs office included a photo of its evidence, including a plastic shopping bag of marijuana, the handgun and several stacks of cash. Mitchell was a four-star prospect in the 2023 high school class ranked No. 123 in 247 Sportsβ composite rankings. He committed to Alabama in June 2022 over Auburn, Georgia and Texas A&M, then signed his letter of intent in December. Mitchell was among Alabamaβs incoming freshmen who enrolled early in January.

JuscAUse! 1,713 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I didn't see the first one Fifty. I'm not stupid about situations like this. I hate it for the young men. My Jr and Sr years in HS, I spent more time at my best friends house than mine. Because I had a Dad that meant what he said and I was extremely stupid at times. College was different. I finally learned a thing or two, thanks to my Dad. I'm not sure I'm half the man he was, even at my advanced age. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Eagle 473 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Don't know if this is new info, but it was to me.Β Per Reuters, Mitchell initially evaded the police, driving 141 mph.Β Police later spotted the car again and made the arrest. A top football recruit at the University of Alabama has admitted to fleeing cops in Florida ahead of his arrest last week on possession of marijuana charges, according to a new report. The vehicle driven by freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell hit a speed of 141 mph after police first attempted to pull it over, according to AL.com, which cited a police report. Police then lost sight of the vehicle and called off their pursuit, but an officer spotted it later and Mitchell finally pulled over. The freshman football star is said to have admitted to cops that he tried to evade law enforcement, βclaiming [his passenger] told him to βpunch it,ββ the report notes. More than $7,000 in cash and 226 grams of marijuana were subsequently found in the car, and both Mitchell and his passenger were charged with marijuana possession. Mitchell, a four-star recruit, was suspended by the team over his arrest and got a public dressing down from coach Nick Saban on Monday. βThereβs no such thing as the wrong place at the wrong time. It is what it is, but there is cause and effect when you make choices and decisions that put you in bad situations,β Saban said at a press conference.

I_M4_AU 9,029 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I think the *wrong place at the wrong time* excuse doesn't work when you go 141 MPH to avoid the cops. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
