Alabama freshman lineman arrested on robbery charges

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama freshman defensive lineman Jeremy Elder has been arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree robbery.

Elder was arrested Sunday and remained jailed Monday morning on $120,000 bond.

No further information was immediately available on his arrest by university police, which was first reported by The Tuscaloosa News and The Birmingham News. Elder's arrest was included on the Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Department's Web site.

A Crimson Tide football spokesman had no immediate comment.

Elder, a 6-foot-3, 271-pounder, was redshirted last season.

Under state law, first-degree robbery involves either a ``deadly weapon or dangerous instrument'' or someone causing ``serious physical injury to another.'' Both charges are Class A felonies.
