University of Alabama linebacker Jimmy Johns has been arrested and charged with several counts of selling cocaine.

Johns was arrested by the West Alabama Narcotics Task Force this morning and was taken to Tuscaloosa County Jail.

Tuscaloosa police say the Bama linebacker was charged with seven "drug related" charges.

Police allege that cocaine and marijuana are involved.

Statement from Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban on Jimmy Johns:
"Jimmy Johns has been dismissed from the team. This type of behaviour obviously will not be tolerated and he is no longer a part of our program."

BamaFan, I don't care how respectful and nice and whatever he is (or was) these guys learn how to put on a face. This is NOT a one time thing, this is just the first time he has been CAUGHT. You don't just decide in one day to sell cocaine. Nick Saban has done a good thing. These guys are NOT who he recruited, these guys are left over from the Shula era.

Way to go Saban!    By the way I am a Bama Fan in a household of Auburn fans and I have lived a horrible life during the last few falls, so come on now I am ready for some relief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
