Two ASU Football Players Arrested and Kicked Off Team For Robbing Apartments After The Team Banquet, Said They Were Just Looking For A Vacuum

TEMPE, AZ – Two Arizona State University football players have been dismissed from the program after a weekend arrest.

Jayme Otomewo and Deonte Reynolds were arrested for 2nd degree burglary charges.

“They’ve been dismissed from the program, and that’s about all I can say,” ASU coach Todd Graham said Tuesday.

“Everybody in our program is clear and understands the expectations and our standards and our values, and they understand that upfront.”

TMZ – Campus police say they caught Jayme Otomewo and Deonte Reynolds in the hallway knocking on an apartment door on Sunday afternoon. A female student had called police to report 2 unknown black men in her entryway without permission.

When police questioned Otomewo and Reynolds they admitted entering a couple of rooms, but said they were merely looking for a vacuum.

Police suspect they used a butter knife to jimmy the doors because Otomewo had a bent one in his pocket. He told police it was there from the night before. He had no explanation for why it was still there the next day.

…

College kids just trying to clean – breaking down all sorts of stereotypes right here. Seriously most people would tip their caps to a couple of 19 year olds looking to tidy up their dorm, especially all the moms out there. Instead the Arizona State police arrest you for it and charge you with a bunch of crimes. Typical. Shouldn’t be surprised I guess, obviously these cops saw a couple guys breaking into multiple apartments throughout the complex by jimmying doors open with a butter knife and just automatically jumped to the conclusion that they WEREN’T looking for a Hoover to get the Doritos crumbs off their carpet. Racist.

I know ASU may not be known exactly for its rigorous academic standards, but still, damn.

Cops say the guys also had several credit cards — not in their names — a Beats Pill portable speaker, 2 iPods and 1 iPhone. They claimed the cards belonged to friends. As for the speaker, cops say they were blaring music from it as they went room-to-room, and Otomewo admitted pilfering it.

Stealing a Beats speaker from an apartment then putting it on full blast while you break into the next apartment – genius move if you’re a WWF superstar making a heel turn, pretty dumb if it’s unscripted real life where there are laws and police.
