A sophomore linebacker on the Arkansas Razorbacks football team was arrested in Fayetteville on Tuesday, according to the Washington County Sheriff's Office.
He faces several drug and gun charges.
Demetrius "Dee" Walker, a three star player out of Moultrie, Georgia's Colquitt County HS, faces charges of possession of a controlled substance with intent to deliver (both marijuana and Xanax) and simultaneous possession of drugs and firearms, according to the Fayetteville police.
An online jail roster also lists the charges of delivery of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Authorities searched his residence and found 95.8 grams of marijuana, 40 Xanax pills, "multiple" individual and sandwich baggies, a digital scale and a DPMS Panther Arms model AR-15 rifle with one loaded magazine, according to a preliminary report.
He faces a preliminary hearing on Friday.
Walker, who was the 57th best linebacker out of his recuiting class according to Rivals. Com, recorded 17 total tackles in 12 games played this season and has been suspended "indefinitely" according to head coach Chad Morris.
Walker was removed from the online roster at www.arkansasrazorbacks.com and according to one source at the University will more than likely be dismissed from the program.
