Mississippi State's hands were tied when they had to boot freshman receiver John Michael Hankerson from the team on Thursday. He had been arrested for the third time in a month and that was definitely the last straw for coach Dan Mullen and his staff.

Hankerson is on the arrest report for armed robbery, kidnapping and aggravated assault.

Also, on John Michael Hankerson who has now had 3 arrests in about a month's time, he's no longer even enrolled at Mississippi State.

Was told Hankerson & 2 other unidentified black males robbed an apartment and "pistol whipped" occupants and took items.

Hankerson was arrested for the first time Dec. 1 after turning himself in to campus police following simple assault charges, Hankerson was again arrested less than a week later for false pretense. The former three-star recruit did not play this year and is no longer enrolled at the school.
