Ex-Ram Byronell Arline arrested...again
The dismal saga of former Ridgewood High all-state running back Byronell Arline continued early Tuesday morning with his arrest for failing to appear in court on a previous marijuana-possession charge.
Arline, 19, was arrested at 5:01 a.m. Tuesday and booked into the Land O'Lakes jail. Bond was set at $1,206, according to a Pasco County Sheriff's Office charge report.
In the last year, Arline, whose Pasco County-record 5,279 career rushing yards still stands, has been arrested on charges of strong-arm robbery and crack-cocaine possession in addition to the marijuna charge.
A 2008 Ridgewood graduate, Arline didn't possess the grades to earn a Division I scholarship out of high school. He was accepted to a junior college in Kansas last summer, but returned home after one week.

What is it with High School football and arrests? I love the game of football, but I don't seem to see nearly as many arrests with baseball, basketball, soccer, volleyball, track, or other sports.
