According to police, Henry admitted to Joseph in a taped jailhouse phone conversation to assaulting one of the victims and disposing of a backpack containing stolen items in the alleged July robbery.

[Bulldog_12]

Wow, this has moved from slightly comical to a serious problem in my eyes. 6 players arrested since June? Really?

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas freshman running back James Henry has been charged with two felony counts of obstruction and tampering with evidence, making him the sixth Longhorns player arrested since June.

Henry, who was arrested Monday, is accused of beating up one of the victims of a July home invasion that allegedly involved two other players, Andre Jones and Robert Joseph.

Henry was booked into Travis County Jail where bond was set at $30,000. He was released Tuesday morning and coach Mack Brown said he was suspended indefinitely from the team.

Henry, who redshirted last season, has played in two games on special teams for the No. 7 Longhorns (3-0). Travis County jail and court administration officials did not immediately have a record of an attorney for Henry.

"It was a mishap," Henry told the San Antonio Express-News after his release. "They just came and got me, and said they had a warrant for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on."

Austin police learned of Henry's involvement by listening to taped recordings of Joseph's phone calls from jail, said Det. Anthony Bigongiari.

During the investigation of the robbery, one of the victims told police that some of Joseph's friends had assaulted them. In one of the taped phone calls, Henry said he "went over there and whupped" one of the victims, who told police they were thrown on the ground and punched and kicked in the head several times, Bigongiari said.

Henry, who did not participate in the robbery, was charged with tampering because police believe he disposed of a backpack containing items stolen in the home invasion, Bigongiari said.

Police also charged a third person, Eddie Ramirez, who is not a football player, with threatening the victims.

Brown said Henry would have been suspended earlier if the team had known the latest allegations.

"It's unfortunate that we have just been informed of the situation or we would have been able to address it when it allegedly occurred in July," Brown said.

Henry's arrest is the latest trouble for a program reeling under a string of arrests. On Monday, Brown reinstated linebacker Sergio Kindle and defensive end Henry Melton, who had been suspended for the first three games because of drunken driving arrests over the summer.

Last week, senior safety Tyrell Gatewood was suspended indefinitely after his arrest on drug charges. Freshman defensive back Ben Wells, who was riding with Gatewood when he was pulled over, was given a citation for possession of drug paraphernalia and released.

Jones remains suspended from the team. Joseph had already left the team before his July arrest because of an earlier incident.

Brown said he is disappointed that the arrests have embarrassed the program but challenged the notion that Texas is riddled with problems.

"Young people who do not obey the law, university or team rules will continue to be disciplined with a stern hand and we will move forward. We continue to have a zero tolerance policy in that regard," Brown said. "I will put our long-term record of character up against anyone, and that's why these situations upset me so much."

UT president William Powers Jr. issued a statement supporting the coach.

"I applaud coach Mack Brown for taking swift action in disciplining a member of his football team," Powers said. "I strongly endorse the penalties he has imposed on this player and others who have been arrested for various offenses. I know coach Brown feels accountable for the conduct of his team and that these players must be held accountable for their own behavior on and off the field."

3rd at least...and then I merged it backwards or something and lost the original title.

I knew it started out with Emerson....I had to wing it from there!!:p

[Hornet's Nest]

Don't worry he'll probably be back next week. Integrity is not one of Mack Brown's strong suit.

I can't beleive I forgot about them. Both of those players have played great the past 3 games!!! Mack Brown has no class at all and only cares about winning.:mad: :mad: :mad:

[HippoBaseball05]

Let's see, missing three games against Ark. St., T.C.U., and Central Florida more than makes up for the fact they could have killed someone while drunk driving.

Seems logical to me.

* - see Kellen Heard

[HippoBaseball05]

Doing something wrong?

Did you really equate drunk driving to hitting the QB after he throws a pick?


wow.

:mad: You're stretching for things to whine about. 3 game suspension regardless of who they are playing is a worthy suspension.

wow. Yes. They are both wrong. What Heard did was borderline assault. He could have crippled McCoy. Luckily that didn't happen.

The horns are justifiably serving suspensions. What more do you want?

BTW - There is precedence for filing assault charges for actions during a sporting event. See the NHL.

[HippoBaseball05]

I guess it hits home a little more since I had a friend from my youth that was killed by a drunk driver.

Please forgive me for my out of skew opinion.

Look who we are talking about. Now look at his sig. Don't bother arguing with it

[HippoBaseball05]

Being an Aggie has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Mack is in danger of losing instituional control.

Mack is in danger of losing instituional control. You'll get no argument from me that Mack needs to get things cleaned up. This last arrest came from an incident that happened 2 months ago. Hopefully he's got these guys straightened out.

Weren't Mack and Barry joined at the hip for a while?
