I know it is tough to be a college student. You are a bit strapped for cash and you are trying to take your lady out or make it rain at the strip club, but there is no reason to be robbing people for lunch money allegedly.
Evans was arrested for a string a robberies that happened over the weekend on the Marshall campus.
Troy Evans, 21, was arrested on Marshall University’s campus without incident, according to a release from Huntington Police Department.
Evans, a senior wide receiver from Oakland, Calif., and junior college transfer, was expected to play a large role in the Thundering Herd’s offense this season. He was noted for his versatility in being able to play in a variety of spots on the field as a wideout.
The robberies he’s accused of occurred Aug. 28 in the 1500 block of 6th Avenue between 2:30 and 2:40 a.m.
Three of the four robbery victims were Marshall students. All four victims were male.
The first incident involved two victims who said they were approached by a man who brandished a handgun and demanded their wallets. They gave up their wallets, and ran away when the man pointed the gun at a third victim who was walking on the sidewalk, according to police reports.
The fourth victim, Dustin Manns, 20, said a man approached him and asked him for a cigarette. Manns said he didn’t smoke and kept walking, but the man followed him and pointed a gun in his face and demanded his wallet.
Those are Menace to Society type of robberies. I am thinking there has to be a reason that the police isn’t telling us about. If I had to guess Evans owed someone money or was hooked on drugs.
If he just woke up one morning and decided to beat people over the head with a gun then the victims are lucky they just got robbed and not murdered.
Off topic what is going on with this hair?
You know what, nevermind.
For full disclosure Evans’ mentor says that he is being falsely accused and that he has never owned a gun in his life. Hopefully that is true and we do know that the police sometimes think all black men look a like, so Evans is innocent until proven guilty lets all keep that in mind.
