University of Alabama offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett was arrested for allegedly knowingly spreading an STD.
No college football team has had more of a whirlwind season than the powerhouse in Tuscaloosa. Nick Saban’s Crimson Tide started the season as an afterthought and somehow have found themselves in the College Football Playoffs. Coaches have had their work cut out for them getting the team in shape without the rockstar talent we are accustomed to seeing them have.
The team is two games away from another national championship but that isn’t the headline at the moment.
According to AL.com, offensive lineman Elijah Pritchett is the talk of the sports world after being arrested. In that latest episode of Dirty Dog Diaries Pritchett was arrested for allegedly knowingly spreading a Sexually Transmitted Disease.
Allegedly a report was filed against the lineman on December 13 accusing him of the act which landed him in jail on a Class C misdemeanor.
Furthermore, If found guilty Pritchett could spend 90 days behind bars or pay fines up to $500. Pritchett who is 19 years old, played in all 13 of Alabama’s games this season. Also, stunned the entire Alabama fan base entering the transfer portal just weeks ago. He ultimately changed his mind and announced he would stay at Alabama. Hopefully, this drama doesn’t impact the team’s performance and Nick Saban can return to the top of the College Football mountain.
Additionally, Pritchett was released on a $500 bond and is available for the team’s match-up against Michigan this weekend.
