Senior cornerback Tarell Brown faces misdemeanor weapons and drug charges in Travis County, Texas, according to a media report.
The newspaper reported that Brown and former Longhorns teammate Aaron Harris, who played on last year's national championship team, were booked at Travis County Central Booking Facility on Monday morning.

Brown was charged with unlawfully carrying a weapon, a Class A misdemeanor in Texas, and both Brown and Harris were charged with possession of 2 ounces or less of marijuana, a Class B misdemeanor, the newspaper reported.


Brown was released from Travis County Jail on personal bond on Monday, the newspaper reported.


The newspaper said according to a team official, Texas coach Mack Brown was aware of the situation but had not yet spoken to Brown.

If Brown starts against No. 1 Ohio State on Saturday, he is expected to draw the assignment of covering wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr., a Heisman Trophy hopeful.

Mack needs to sit his players down and weed out the bad seeds (pun ****ing intended).

yep, he'll probably get off. word is that they were drug tested on the spot and should come back clean. Well Harris admitted to being high. Everything will go on gatewood and Harris. Gatewood and Harris were apparently asleep in the vehicle. Brown was in the back seat and Gatewood in the front passenger seat.

He passed the drug test.

This could be a much more serious situation now that his lawyer is claiming the cops used excessive force and tasered him.

From what I heard, the cops tasered him while he was asleep. Probably speculation, but the Austin cops have started to get a reputation of being taser happy.
