GAINESVILLE -- University of Florida backup quarterback Cameron Newton was arrested on Friday for allegedly stealing a laptop computer.

Newton was charged on Friday for burglary, larceny and obstructing justice. The burglary charge is a second-degree felony while the larceny and obstruction of justice charges are both third-degree felonies.

On Friday afternoon, a University of Florida spokesman said that Newton was suspended from the team. Florida hosts The Citadel on Saturday at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Newton was in custody at the Alachua County on Friday.

According to an arrest report, a University of Florida student reported his Dell laptop stolen from his dorm room Oct. 16. An investigation into the stolen laptop linked the laptop to Newton, who allegedly used the machine to access the University of Florida's computer network.

According to University Police, Newton allegedly first logged on to the UF network using the laptop Oct. 21 while inside the university's Academic Advising building. According to an arrest report, the university's Computer Network Services advised a UPD detective that the username used to access the network was ''cnewton,'' the user identification assigned to Newton.

UPD detectives went to Newton's dorm Friday and, according to the report, were invited into the room by Newton. Upon entering the dorm room, detectives observed the laptop on Newton's desk and then informed Newton of his Miranda rights. According to a UPD detective, the laptop had been 'painted black on the top and had `Cam Newton' written on the lid in white paint.''

UPD detectives left the dorm to confirm that the laptop in Newton's possession matched the serial code of the stolen laptop. According the report, the detectives returned to the dorm room but the laptop had been removed.

The report states that further investigation ''found that Mr. Newton threw the computer out of his bedroom window.'' The laptop was later found behind a dormitory dumpster, according to the arrest report. Police do not know at this time who placed the computer behind the dumpster.

Check out this post from a Gator fan on another board. Absolutely hilarious.

Yeah, you know that gets 'em every time... police don't know to look for serial numbers. Even better than that, he thought if he threw the computer out the window while they were out in the hall, they'd forget they saw it there in the first place.

Officer Slow Poke: Hey Jim Bob, that looks like the computer, but the other kid didn't say anything about it being black with "Cam Newton" written on it. Maybe it's not the same computer.

Officer Slower Poke: I noticed that, too, Billy Joe; but the cap'n said there were some kind of numbers on the thing that would tell us whose computer it is. Maybe we should look.

Officer Slow Poke: Okay, but I don't know how some number on a computer is going to talk to us... sometimes I think our cap'n ain't the sharpest bulb in the toolbox.

Officer Slower Poke: Yeah, he must know somebody in the department to have got that job. He ain't no smarter than us... remember, it's all in who knows you, Billy Joe.

Officer Slow Poke: You said it, Jim Bob. Well, let's give it a try and look at the number.

Officer Slower Poke: Well, it ain't talking... just like we thought. It ain't gonna tell us who it belongs to. Write the number down, and we'll call the cap'n back.

*Both cops walk out into the hall to call their captain. While there, Newton throws the computer out the window towards the dumpster. It's a perfect spiral, but misses its target and crashes to the ground.*

*Both officers come back in after a somewhat unpleasant conversation with their superior; and find the computer no longer on Newton's desk.*

Officer Slow Poke: Uummm, Mr. Newton, wasn't there a computer here on your desk just a moment ago?

Cam: I don't know what you're talking about officer... I don't own a computer. Are you making some kind of accusation?

Officer Slower Poke: Now, now, just settle down there, Mr. Newton; nobody's accusing anybody of anything. Maybe we're mistaken. Ah, Billy Joe, can I see you out in the hall?

Officer Slower Poke (out in the hall): Hey, you remember that class we had about ethicals or some such sh*t? They told us not to ever make accusations on students if we couldn't prove 'em, 'cause we might get the school sued or somethin'.

Officer Slow Poke: Yeah, yeah, you're right. Hey, let's just wander off like nuthin' ever happened, and hope he don't report us.

Officer Slower Poke: Good idea, Billy Joe. You know, you might just make cap'n one day.

Officer Slow Poke: Nah, we both know you're the brains of this partnership, Jim Bob. But, we're both smarter than the cap'n we got now... it's all in who knows you.
