From a local news station. Btw, I attended the same college. Back in the day, they accepted idiots like this: smart enough to get a GPA that lets them be accepted into secondary education, dumb enough for get arrested for felony theft.
KNOXVILLE (WATE) – A University of Tennessee football player was arrested and charged with theft after he allegedly sold a stolen video game system to a Knoxville store.
James Coleman Thomas, 19, was a freshman offensive lineman last season, playing in 11 of 13 games.
A Knox County arrest report states a victim, who is not named in the report, told University of Tennessee officers on Friday, March 13, that someone entered his dorm room in Reese Hall and stole his Xbox One and three games worth $640.
Officers say they checked leads online and learned that Thomas had sold the items to Game Stop on Clinton Highway later that day for $176.
Senior Associate Athletic Director Jimmy Stanton says Thomas has been removed from all team activities.
Thomas is scheduled for arraignment on April 7.
