COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Two more South Carolina players involved in the thefts at Williams-Brice Stadium last November were accepted into a pre-trial intervention program.<br>
<br>
An official in the Fifth Circuit Solicitor's office, Babs Lindsay, said ex-quarterback Dondrial Pinkins and offensive lineman Freddy Saint-Preux will take part in the program, which allows first-time offenders to clear their records once they finish their community service.<br>
<br>
Former linebacker Rod Wilson had already been accepted in the program.<br>
<br>
Those three, along with ex-tight end Brian Brownlee, receiver Syvelle Newton and lineman Woodly Telfort were arrested and charged this past fall after $18,000 worth of computer and video equipment and several framed photographs were taken from the stadium.<br>
<br>
Pinkins, Newton, Saint-Preux and Wilson were charged with misdemeanor counts of petit larceny.<br>
<br>
Brownlee and Telfort were charged with grand larceny for taking laptops and projectors.<br>
<br>
Brownlee has applied for the diversion program. Telfort is not eligible because he took part in the program after a 2001 arrest in Miami for grand theft auto. Telfort has also been dismissed from the Gamecocks.<br>
