Arkansas coach Sam Pittman gave a statement regarding the arrest stating the program was aware and was making determinations.
“We are aware of the charges against Jalen St. John,” the statement read. “He has been suspended indefinitely while we gather more information from the proper authorities. Once we have that information, we will determine his status with our program moving forward.”
St. John has been No. 2 on the Razorbacks depth chart at left guard this season behind starter Brady Latham.
Per the Washington County affadavit report, St. John and a friend stole a woman’s phone overnight and when she awoke the next day, she realized the pair were gone along with her phone.
Police determined that St. John had used CashApp to send himself $1,000, allegedly. An arrest warrant was issued in August 2021.
St. John was booked at 9:29 p.m. on Tuesday and released at 11:24 p.m.
Arkansas defensive backs Myles Slusher and Anthony Brown were arrested earlier in November for disorderly conduct. Both were given one-game suspensions.
Arkansas plays its final game of the season on Friday at Missouri.
