PrintVirginia Tech kicker Cody Journell has been suspended indefinitely after his alleged involvement in a breaking and entering incident last night in Blacksburg. Journell is accused of entering the residence of, among others, Virginia Tech basketball player Dorenzo Hudson.
The Roanoke Times has the details:
According to court testimony from Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Mary Pettit, the three showed up at Hudson and Allen's residence last night because they said Allen stole marijuana from Dunton.
Dunton knocked on the door holding a pizza box while Journell and Brady hid in the bushes, Pettit said. When Hudson answered, Dunton drew a gun while the other two rushed inside the house, she said.
After not finding Allen, they ran outside and left in a car driven by an unnamed person, who was not charged, she said.
Prosecution and defense acknowledged that Hudson and Allen later went looking for the three and a physical altercation took place, but no charges are filed in that incident.
That's a lot to digest. The Times' story has plenty of other details, including quotes from today's court proceedings. The gun involved was an Airsoft handgun, so not a deadly weapon, but Journell and the other two men were denied bond and are currently in the Montgomery County Jail.
Still a lot of details that need to be brought to light, such as why Journell looks untouched but the other two look beat to hell, but this is already an ugly story for both the football and men's basketball teams.

How stupid can you possibly be?
We haven’t even reached the temptations of Bourbon Street yet and we’re already down a starter.
Judging by the mug-shots of Journell’s two friends, they got the absolute shit beat out of them by Hudson and his roommate. Hopefully no charges wind up getting filed for that incident or we might be down a starter on the basketball team too.
What a douche
If what is reported is true, Journell should kiss his VT career goodbye and look forward to life finding a job as a felon. I’m told by the guy selling flowers on the side of the road during my commute that it’s hard.
Not What Virginia Tech Needed Before The Sugar Bowl
The public is already sure that VT doesn’t belong in the Sugar Bowl and this is just one more nail in the coffin for public opinion. There is some talk about Journell possibly being allowed to play, that is ridiculous. But after the way that Beamer was able to talk BCS and the Sugar Bowl folks into letting us play in the BCS game, anything is possible. I am glad that I opted not to spend 3K for this Bowl game, rather watch us get the poop beat out of us from my HD screen.
Journell;s VT career is over.
No way even if charged were dropped that he would stay. Luckily VT is bringing in the all met kicker of year for the dmv for next season

Stage a real (or fake?) robbery to get some stuff (or scare some people)? They should be arrested and tried. Journell should be kicked off the team and the two tech students should likely be expelled.
But…
Prosecution and defense acknowledged that Hudson and Allen later went looking for the three and a physical altercation took place, but no charges are filed in that incident.
…wtf?
Go out with the intent of beating some people to hell, and if i understand the other reports correctly, actually doing it, but to the wrong three people? No charges? No kicked off the basketball team? No expulsion? WTF.
I can understand that if they beat the crap out of the three airsoft dipshits in the house after they broke in, but to go out afterward? Why has greenberg not suspended this jackass.
