Book'Em Horns: 6th Texas Longhorn Arrested Since June
READ MORE:
Move over Cincinnati Bengals, you've been replaced.

Mack Brown's Longhorns have a few problems on the field, but many to address off the field. Via Burnt Orange Nation from the Statesmen:

Longhorn football player James Henry has been arrested on a pair of third-degree felony charges. He is accused of retaliating against victims who turned in a teammate for an alleged robbery.

Henry, a redshirt freshman who has played on special teams this season, is charged with "obstruction or retaliation" and "tampering or fabricating physical evidence." Combined, bail is set at $30,000. Henry was booked into jail at 3:59 p.m. Monday.


In their arrest affidavit, Austin police accuse the 19-year-old Henry of retaliating on behalf of teammate Robert Joseph, who was arrested July 27 on aggravated robbery charges. Joseph and teammate Andre Jones were charged with breaking in to a Southeast Austin apartment and robbing several people in the apartment.


That's now the 6th arrest since June, 8th over the last 4 months. I'm with Peter Bean of BON on the correct punishment:


"I think Mack needs to instill a little Joe Pa team punishment.  It always worked when I was in the ARMY."

If you read the entire write-up of the arrest, this guy is just an idiot.  He talked about retaliating on a phone call with someone in custody which are always taped unless the person is speaking with their lawyer. 

 

Then he goes and retaliates and probably almost put one person into a coma, since it says he kicked him in the head 12 times!

 

By far, the best comments were on the Bevo Blog on the Statesman's website:

 

"Book 'em Horns!"

 

No truer words have ever been said.

You won't hang a hundred anyways. Maybe 50.
