Report: SEC player booted from team after third arrest in a month

Their hands were tied on this one.

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.

Joel Coleman of the Starkviille Daily reports that Hankerson committed a list of egregious crimes and Coleman has all of it noted:

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.
