Five-Star ‘Bama Recruit Arrested

Unless there is another “Nico Johnson” in Andalusia, AL, the Alabama Crimson Tide recruit of the same name was arrested at some point earlier this week on a misdemeanor charge of harrassment.The police blotter in the Andalusia Star-News states that Johnson was arrested following a verbal, non-physical altercation with another male.(“Verbal, non-physical altercation”? WTF? If that’s a chargeable offense, my wife and I should be convicted felons three times over by now.)Johnson was released on a $500 bond.No other details are available at this time, and, obviously, the university has not made a statement regarding the incident.Johnson was named a five-star recruit by Scout.com and given a four-star rating from Rivals.com. The early word on the linebacker is that he will have a more-than-fair shot at winning a starting job as a true freshman.Provided, of course, he doesn’t keep ringing-up littering, loitering or seatbelt violations.
