Paging BossHogg...Arkansas Players Arrested for Dorm Burglaries

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Three Arkansas football players, including wide receivers Marquel Wade and Maudrecus Humphrey, were arrested Saturday and charged with burglarizing dorm rooms.

University of Arkansas police arrested Wade, Humphrey and tight end Andrew Peterson after looking at security video in which the players allegedly walked into rooms where items had been taken. The preliminary police report valued the stolen property, including computers and textbooks, at nearly $5,000.

Razorbacks coach John L. Smith immediately and indefinitely suspended the three players in his first test of discipline since being hired to replace Bobby Petrino last month.

"We have high standards for our student-athletes, and I expect them to conduct themselves appropriately," Smith said. "Poor conduct and misbehavior will not be tolerated and is not what we expect from the University of Arkansas football program."

Six Razorback players have been arrested since March, and Saturday's arrests add to what has already been a difficult spring for Arkansas, which was 11-2 last season and finished the season ranked No. 5 after a Cotton Bowl win over Kansas State.
