Court date set for two Alabama football players

TUSCALOOSA (AP) — Preliminary hearings have been set for two of the four Alabama football players arrested after a pair of robberies on campus.

Court documents filed Tuesday show that Judge James C. Guin set March 19 hearings in Tuscaloosa District Court for Eddie Williams and Brent Calloway, both 20.

Those players and 18-year-old D.J. Pettway have requested youthful offender status.

Williams is charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and two counts of second-degree robbery. Calloway, a former Russellville High standout, was arrested for using a debit card stolen during one of the robberies.

Pettway and 18-year-old Tyler Hayes are charged with two counts of second-degree robbery. No court date has been set for them.

Williams, Pettway and Hayes are suspended from school pending a university judicial review.

When are we a a state going to do away with the youthful offender law! If they are man enough to sign scholarship papers, attend college one someone elses bill, then beat up and rob some one, then they knew what they were doing. As an Alabama graduate its time to throw the book at them and any other teenager who breaks the law. This is BS if the are granted youthful offender, when are the courts going to realize they will do it again if the skate by the first time. They should have thought about it before they turned into a thug!
