A&M FOOTBALL PLAYER ARRESTED IN BURLESON COUNTY

  

Officials in Burleson County are confirming a Texas A&M football player was arrested in Burleson County last week.

KBTX-TV is reporting freshman offensive lineman Chris Morris was arrested and head coach Jimbo Fisher is aware of the situation.

The Burleson County Sheriff’s Office says Morris was charged with evading arrest with a motor vehicle and reckless driving.

The arrest report says Morris, a native of West Memphis, Arkansas, was in a Dodge Challenger and was stopped last Tuesday morning on Highway 21 at CR 327 north of Giddings.  The Sheriff’s office says he posted a $6,500 bond and was released.

The A&M Athletic Department says Morris has not been at practice this week and will not travel with the team to Miami for Saturday’s Orange Bowl against North Carolina.

That game can be heard on KWHI.
