Tony Joiner Arrested

Tony Joiner, the Gators' best player on defense and rated as the best safety prospect for the upcoming NFL draft, has been arrested for burglary.

Apparently Joiner was trying to get his girlfriend's car out of an impound lot, and essentially did so without paying beforehand. There is some confusion about the situation, and even the owner of the property is upset that Joiner was arrested. Joiner had contacted the lot's dispatcher prior and agreed to pay, but when he showed up no one was there to accept the payment, so he decided he would take the car and pay later. He was confronted and immediately returned the car. The owner of the lot had this to say:

"What he did was wrong,'' Forron said, according to Florida Today. "We're not saying he's an angel and shouldn't pay. But why all of a sudden is he being arrested for something that happened numerous times throughout the years and nobody else has been arrested?''

Joiner was calm and cooperative. It seems like this is a minor incident that is getting blown out of proportion because of the burglary charge. I would expect all charges to be dropped based on the facts given in the article. The Gators cannot afford to lose him!
