Watley arrested, suspended

South Carolina middle linebacker Angelo Watley was arrested on Sunday on three charges and is currently being detained at Alvin S. Glenn Detention Center. Per University policy, Watley has been suspended from all football-related activities.

Watley was charged with Grand Larceny of good that value more than $2,000 but less than $10,000. He was also charged with Financial Transaction Card Theft and Violent Burglary in the second degree. He is currently being held on $50,000 bond by the city.

Watley signed out of Peachtree Ridge High School in Suwanee, Ga. as part of the 2011 class and redshirted his first year on campus. He was a three-star prospect by 247Sports and was also recruited by Auburn and Marshall.

UPDATE: A USC spokesperson confirmed Watley's suspension but no further punishment has been given by the university or football staff. This is not Watley's first arrest. He was arrested on July 3, 2011 in Gwinnett County and charged with six counts of terroristic threats and acts.

Get rid of him. We don't need people like that on the team.

Hope the best for the kid, but those charges are very serious.

If true, I hope he does time for what he's done. As a victim of grand larceny twice in the past 4 months, I have no compassion for him.

I can't envision any scenario that has this young man remaining with the team. Another kid given a golden opportunity only to throw everything away. Sad.....just sad!

Financial Transaction Card Theft and Violent Burglary in the second degree? Violent burglary? 2nd arrest? Six counts of terroristic threats and acts? See ya!! We don't need that type of cancer on the team

I believe kids make mistakes, etc, but this is too serious for USC to keep him on the team...Time to let him go, and hope he turns his life around at another school.

Look at the bright side...points towards Fulmer Cup! But no catching TCU! Also look at it as a chance for roster management.

In a way it is really hard to feel sorry for a representative of our school if proven true. He should be dismissed immediately.
