Two WSU football players, Tyree Toomer and LeAndre Daniels, were arrested yesterday for allegedly stealing bikes.
From Cougfan:
…were arrested on theft and burglary charges and were immediately suspended. “Paul Wulff and the coaching staff are aware of the situation. The student-athletes have been suspended from team activities while more information is gathered, and appropriate action will be taken,” said WSU Sports Information Director Bill Stevens.
The pair were arrested on Tuesday according to police documents, and both were still in custody as of 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
Toomer and Daniels are accused of second degree burglary, residential burglary and theft in the second and third degrees.
Campus police said the two had been seen taking bicycles and upon further investigation, they apprehended Daniels and Toomer and located the bicycles at their shared residence.
A hacksaw, reported stolen from a nearby home construction site, also was located at their residence, according to the report in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News.
Formal charges from the Whitman County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office are pending.
Now when it is partying and MIP stuff we usually don’t care but stealing bikes, god we hate people who do stuff like that. We hope they are given a 3 games suspension at least.

from the AP:
Two Pullman men were beaten with a golf
club after urinating on a vehicle downtown.
Police say the men suffered injuries after they relieved
themselves early Friday morning on a car they thought was
unoccupied.
Police say the owner got out of the car and assaulted the two
men with a golf club. One of the men suffered a possible arm
fracture and was transported to Pullman Regional Hospital.
Police Sergeant Dan Dornes said urinating in public is a crime,
