Tennessee coach Derek Dooley dismissed
rising sophomore Darren Myles Jr. and indefinitely suspended
sophomores Greg King and Marlon Walls after an early Friday morning
brawl at a bar where at least a half-dozen other Volunteers players
were present.
University of Tennessee police charged Myles with assault,
resisting arrest and evading arrest after he allegedly ran from
police and elbowed an officer in the face. It was his second
off-season arrest.
It was not clear what King and Walls' roles were in the melee.
Incoming freshman receiver Da'Rick Rogers was charged with
disorderly conduct and resisting arrest. Four other players were
present but not charged, though police say more charges may be
pending in the ongoing investigation.
Witnesses say two patrons got into a fight and several others
joined in. An off-duty officer who was a patron suffered a head
injury trying to break up the fight.
