LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KTHV) -- Three Arkansas football players were arrested early Saturday morning for residential burglary.
Officials say wide receivers Marquel Wade and Maudrecus Humphrey, along with tight end Andrew Peterson were arrested by University of Arkansas Police just after midnight.
Through a university spokeman, Arkansas head coach John L. Smith released the following statement:
"Marquel Wade, Maudrecus Humphrey and Andrew Peterson have been suspended indefinitely. We have high stands for our student-athletes and I expect them to conduct themselves appropriately. Poor conduct and misbehavior will not be tolerated and is not what we expect from the University of Arkansas football program."
An arrest report says witnesses also identified the players. Some of the stolen items were recovered from a bookstore near campus, and the report says a store clerk identified the three as regularly selling used items.

Notre Dame quarterback Tommy Rees was released from jail on $250 bond late Thursday afternoon after being charged with four misdemeanors as a result of his arrest early Thursday morning at an off-campus house party, St. Joseph County police spokesperson Sgt. Bill Redman said.
Rees faces four misdemeanors: minor consumption, two counts of resisting law enforcement and battery. He initially was jailed on a preliminary felony charge of battery on a police officer and misdemeanor resisting arrest and alcohol charges.
With the felony charge reduced, a potential imminent expulsion from school no longer looks like a possibility for Rees. The school’s disciplinary code states that if a student is charged with a felony, Notre Dame "reserves the right to take summary action and temporarily dismiss the student."
Linebacker Carlo Calabrese also was arrested, for disorderly conduct, and has since been released from jail after posting $150 bond, S

"Hate Crime" is a new one...
Hot-tempered Detroit Tigers slugger Delmon Young was arrested early this morning after he allegedly went on an anti-Semitic tirade and attacked a man in front of a Midtown hotel, police sources told The Post.
A panhandler wearing a yamulke approached a group of people to ask for some change – and that’s when Young, who was nearby, started shouting, "F--king Jews! F--king Jews!"
That’s when another man and a group of his friends got into a confrontation with Young at about 2:40 a.m. that quickly turned physical along Sixth Avenue, law enforcement sources said.
Young allegedly scratched a 32-year-old during the fracas on East 54th Street, pushing him to the ground in the lobby of the Roosevelt Hotel.
Young, known for his powerhouse arm in the outfield, was "highly intoxicated," sources said, and had to be taken to the hotel to sober up before he was arrested and taken to the

Bobby Petrino has admitted to a "serious mistake in judgment" in not revealing the presence of Arkansas staffer Jessica Dorrell at his Sunday motorcycle accident, and has been placed on paid administrative leave by Razorback athletic director Jeff Long.
At a Thursday evening press conference, Long announced the decision, saying that he had received the information about Dorrell in a phone call from Petrino at 3:12 p.m. that afternoon.
Long declined to address Petrino’s future employment as Arkansas’s head coach or any timetable for the leave, saying only that he would take the time to "assess the review and get all the facts."
Petrino is forbidden from having any contact with his program, Long said. Assistant head coach Taver Johnson will assume Petrino’s duties and coach Razorback spring practices.

Ryan Leaf’s NFL existence has been a tortured one pretty much from the moment he was taken with the second-overall pick in the 1998 draft by the San Diego Chargers. He lasted three years in San Diego, bounced around three other teams the next two seasons, and eventually was out of football altogether.
In the decade since, the only time Leaf has made news was for all the wrong reasons. Friday was no different: he was arrested on felony burglary, misdemeanor theft and criminal possession of dangerous drugs, in Great Falls, Mont., according to officials at the Cascade County Detention Center

Usually when an athlete gets arrested it's for a cool crime that they don't need to feel embarrassed telling their friends they committed – like assault or cocaine possession. Unfortunately, for University of Georgia soccer player Carli Shultis, she was not arrested for one of those crimes. Last week, Carli got busted for cramming hash-browns into her pants at one of the UGA cafeterias. What's worse though is that it appears Carli failed miserably at keeping up with the "21 Suggestions for Success" we found posted on her Facebook Wall. Namely, #15 "Be honest" and # 21 "Don't do anything that wouldn't make your mom proud." Poor Carli. At least she nailed #17: "Be decisive even if it means you'll sometimes be wrong."

BOSTON (WHDH) -- Boston University is forming a task force to study the "culture and climate" of its men's hockey team after two of its players were arrested on sexual assault charges this season.
This week’s arrest of Max Nicastro and December’s arrest of Corey Trevino put BU’s high profile championship hockey team under the microscope and in the news.
"Unfortunate, you know, because BU hockey is a huge thing here. We put the hockey players on a pedestal and then that happens and it’s kind of crushing to know that," Jessica Gallagher, a BU student.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Authorities say former Ohio State football player Ray Small has been charged with drug possession in southern Ohio after a traffic stop.
The State Highway Patrol says Small was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for allegedly speeding on Route 33 on Sunday.
Meigs County Court officials in Pomeroy say the 24-year-old from Columbus was charged with possession of the narcotic oxycodone. He’s accused of having more than 200 oxycodone pills.
Small was released pending a March 15 hearing. His attorney did not immediately return calls Tuesday seeking comment.
The former wide receiver was one of several players involved in a football memorabilia scandal at Ohio State. Small told the school’s student newspaper last year that he sold championship rings and other memorabilia for cash and got car deals.
