ALAMO BOWL MELTDOWN: BOYKIN ARRESTED IN BAR MELEE

[Stealth Restitution]

Another draft pick for the New England patriots awaits.

TCU quarterback and Dallas native Trevone Boykin was charged with a felony
in San Antonio early Thursday morning after a bar fight spiraled out of
control.

Like many brawls of its kind, it started with “some jaw jackin' at the bar
about the game” between patrons and members of the team at just before
2am, according to San Antonio Police chief William McManus. The fight
turned physical and spilled outside Pat O’Brien’s. When nearby bicycle
cops saw the fight, they intervened. Police say Boykin left the scene and
then returned, and at some point he got into it with police. A police
spokesman says the quarterback punched one in the face and "was finally
subdued after being threatened with a Taser," McManus said.

TCU is playing Oregon in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday. “Trevone Boykin and
[wide receiver] Preston Miller have been suspended for Saturday’s game due
to a violation of team rules,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said in a
statement. “We are disappointed in their actions and apologize to the TCU
Horned Frogs Nation.”

Boykins is believed to have NFL written all over him. The only debate has
been whether scouts see him as a quarterback or a slot receiver. Now it
seems like he has the temper, lack of judgment and ability to generate bad
press that is required of professional football players. The Big Time
awaits.

But first, there’s this criminal charge to deal with. The former West
Mesquite High Schooler's charged with assault on a public servant, a
third-degree felony. Bond’s been set at $5000.

He appears poised to become one of the NFL's media darlings.
