Another Longhorn arrested (merged thread)

[Funk-d-fied]

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas junior defensive end Henry Melton was arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated early Friday.

Melton was pulled over in the popular Sixth Street entertainment district about 2:30 a.m. after officers noticed his truck driving in an unsafe manner, Austin police spokeswoman Laura Albrecht said.

Melton was charged with DWI and taken to the Travis County Jail. He was released at 8:15 a.m. after posting a $1,500 personal recognizance bond, according to jail records.

Texas athletic spokesman John Bianco said school officials were aware of the arrest and were looking into it.

Melton was a backup running back his first two seasons with the Longhorns before moving to defensive end this spring. He rushed for 432 yards and scored 10 touchdowns as the Longhorns' short-yardage specialist in 2005 when Texas won the national championship.

His role was more limited in 2006 when he rushed for 193 yards and six touchdowns.

Melton, 6 feet 3 and 270 pounds, is expected to compete for playing time next season at defensive end with the departure of last season's starters Brian Robison and Tim Crowder.

He still is, but is not agile enough to run like he wants to in college. He is to scared to run over people.

Not trying to stir the pot or anything, but I know a couple of girls who are Longhorn cheerleaders and I've been told that he was homosexual. Don't know if it's true or not, just throwing that out there.
