COURT DOCUMENTS: ALABAMA PLAYER ADMITS TO ROBBERY
Documents released by the Tuscaloosa County District Court indicate that Alabama defensive lineman Jeremy Elder has confessed to the armed robbery charges for which he was arrested on Sunday.
Elder, who has been suspended indefinately from the football team, is charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.
He was accused over the weekend of robbing two Alabama students of $26 while threatening them with a semiautomatic handgun in the parking lot of Bryant Hall, the dorm where many Crimson Tide football players live.
The documents say, "the defendant admitted to committing the robbery."
Elder is a 6-foot-3, 271-pound freshman who redshirted in 2007. Former Alabama football player Josh Swords will serve as Elder's lawyer in the case.
The Birmingham News reports that Elder is the seventh Alabama player arrested in Nick Saban's 13-month tenure as head coach.
