Jaylen McCollough arrested

[Jeff Clark]

Not knowing all details or if narrative about going into apartment of accused is correct but if true ..Good attorney will have this go away. Mitigating factor is The alleged victim wrongly entered accused dwelling while accused was minding own business . Would wait this week to see how this one pans out. If CJH says today we are looking into what happened, this most likely will be pleaded down or dropped ( $ ) . If he is tossed today, they have the whole story and are confident in sources.

Is there still a Fulmer Trophy around?

Isn't this different? He wasn't out looking for trouble. He was in his home when a drunk walked in.

So, you know for sure that he had no chance but to engage in violence after that occurred? He didn't have the opportunity to stay out of it and remain calm? Walking away was not an option?

Sometimes in life and on the football field, you need to make split second decisions, decisions that can potentially alter the course of your life and or the lives of people around you. We've all been in them and luckily, cooler heads prevailed because we all were able to understand the consequences. My concern here is that did Jaylen react to a negative situation correctly? Nobody on VN knows, so this is more of a rhetorical question mind you. It would be fruitless for anyone but Jaylen to attempt to establish the truth here, as only he knows. I am hoping he did everything humanly possible to stay above the fray. Now, it will be up to our judicial system to determine his guilt or innocence. Prayers are with this young man.

I’m no defense attorney, but I watch a ton of law and order. Man enters your home… you feel it is an attempted burglary. You confront him and try to stop him as he flees so the police can question him. A struggle happens while you were attempting to apprehend him for the police as any good citizen would. He attacks you and you punch him. Unfortunately he was standing in a place where he feel backwards and fell down the stairs. Self-defense…. Even Jack McCoy would have a hard time charging you on this one!

If some drunk stumbles into my apartment in the middle of the night, am I not supposed to kick the $*** out of them and throw them out?

Wasn’t it the middle of the afternoon or did I read the article incorrectly?

 

[Zues1]

So he punched a guy in the mouth that just randomly walked into his apartment?
If that's the case then good for him.

 

[17Vols]

Arrested for aggravated assault. The last time we will see him this year.

We’re back!!!

 

[Bigorangedan23]

Protecting himself is not a crime.

That's where I fall with this. I have a hard time asking a 21 year old to behave in a manner in which most adult men would have did the same thing. Many, if not most "men" aren't going to take kindly to being called a dick in their own home by an intruder.

 

[Bigorangedan23]

SMH...

See ya, dude....

Set up by Saban by his demons. Actually he was just protecting himself from a drugged out nut job.

 

[Bigorangedan23]

I hate it for the person he allegedly assaulted

Really…you feel sorry for street drug addicts? Dumb ass could not even find his apartment if he even had an apartment. It’s ok to protect yourself and fight back.

 

[vol1981]

We don't know that Jaylen actually did follow him. We only know its alleged that Jaylen followed him.

echo.....echo.....echo.....echo.....echo,,,,,echo..........................................................

No, I think he gets out of this after some random guy just walks in to his apartment.

I don't know the self defense laws in TN, but you don't normally chase someone outside of your domicile. Once they have left, its not up to you to chase them down, but I could be wrong. Also, that may not be the truth, but it is what we have heard so far.

 

[volfan2024]

Listen , I watched probably 15-20 correctional youth by myself behind locked doors , story after story , some sadder than others, no empathy here. Control your freaking self! No point in highlighting horse crap.

 

[LA vol7]

Buh bye!

 

[Allvols1996]

Our secondary is so slow they can’t even run away from the cops.

He had one of the best secondary cover plays in the LSU game. If this isn’t domestic, then he’ll be back.

 

[ArabALVol]

Did he hit Tom Brady?

Stay out of other peoples property. The laws should protect the victim not the criminal. He was only protecting himself.

 

[Sudden Impact]

The problem I see with this is how long does this drag out? The Victim has already got his story out of which should be verified at some point. So McCollough is out for the AL game regardless of the truth. We have no idea if words were exchanged either you would think they were.

 

[BP4Prez]

If this is legit and a drunk walked into his apartment, then this should be dropped.

And THAT'S why you'll never be on the team.

 

[JohnWardForever]

This doesn’t happen in Tuscaloosa.

RIGHT! Just ask "Cornbread"!!

 

[JohnD13]

In

What does skin color have to do with it?

This country. Everything

I love the "Back the Blue" folks who turn on the police when it's a TN Vol.

Screw you. The police aren't interested in charging a felony for no reason for a simple fight. You've never been out there, obviously, as a cop or in a bar fight.

I’m not a back the blue type. Good job assuming though. Police overcharge all the time.
