The University of Alabama’s football team took a hit earlier this morning (literally and figuratively) when star offensive tackle Cam Robinson and defensive back Hootie jones were caught smoking weed in their hometown of West Monroe, Louisiana. Both were arrested for possession, but Cam may have another charge to worry about.
From AL.com:
Robinson and defensive back Hootie Jones were both charged with possession of narcotics in their hometown of West Monroe. The charges were more serious for Robinson, a potential first-round draft pick next season.
Along with misdemeanor possession, Robinson was also charged with felony illegal possession of stolen firearms.
In Louisiana, those charges result in a 1-5 year prison sentence. Saban has been known to kick star players off before, including way back in 2013 when he booted Eddie Williams off for robbery (something for which Williams avoided prison time). This is a felony charge, though.
Having a stolen gun in your possession is a total bonehead move for a potential first round pick. Did he not learn from the Laremy Tunsil situation? Dude dropped from top 5 to the 13th pick, and that was just for an old video of him smoking weed.
What’re the odds that some Bama boosters band together with Saban and finagle their way into getting these charges dropped against Robinson and he suits up the first Saturday in September against USC?.

I hope he gets kicked off the team and goes un-drafted. These retards have everything going for them but just have to fuck it up with stuff like this. Is it really that hard to not be a thug for five seconds and just enjoy the fact that you have the potential to make millions of dollars for playing a game?
Says the guy who was caught with coke and sloots on a yacht
Yeah so he speaks from experience.
I wish I could say this was surprising.
What the hell TFM? TNM means totally not mature. What did you think I meant?
Deleting comments. NF.
NY Times is lurking. TFM is turning into TPCM
It’s just sad because it’s really not that hard to smoke in private but the fact they got caught is just absurd and sad
Fuck him, he deserves it. His poor judgement led him here and now he has to pay the man.
das raysiss he didnt du nothin. fuck da pigs #BlackLivesMatter #WhiteSupremacy #NaggerzWitAttitudez
Maybe he needed it for protection? Luckily most of us don’t have to worry about getting shot while sitting in our cars like Stedman Bailey and just recently Greg Bryant. They have targets on their backs. Should have stayed on campus for the summer
you must be the house moron….what does having a target on your back have to do with possessing stolen weapons? try googling the second amendment
Shut up, squire
Nice use of the word “finagle”.
Hey Auburn will take him. Just like every other thug they have on their roster.
How the fuck do you get that far and then ruin everything. It pisses me off just to think about it. Just keep your nose clean, literally and figuratively, for a few months and get the damned contract first. You can buy your own guns and weed and whatever else kind of stupid shit you’re into. For fucks sakes tighten up already.
My father pays too much in damn tuition for your bullshit cam.
Colrebforever called it in. Trying to divert attention from ole miss.
It’s sad that these are the type of people who get drafted the earliest, or even at all. A good bit of them don’t realize how great life can be if they can just avoid serious trouble.
Stupid mistake, but also a stupid law
Just another day in the SEC
This probably isnt the best place to bash the SEC. Just a tip.
Trying to bash the SEC on TFM is like trying to have a barmitzvah in Berlin in 1941
I pray you aren’t a member of the coalition against the SEC because you can’t win as much.
