FORT WORTH, TX\u00a0 \u2014 Authorities arrested 17 students at Texas Christian University on Wednesday as part of a six-month drug sting, an especially embarrassing blow to the school because it included four members of the high-profile football team.<\/p>\n
Arrest warrants painted a startling picture of the Horned Frogs, with a handful of players who allegedly arranged marijuana sales after class or around practice and who told police that most of the team had failed a surprise drug test just two weeks ago.<\/p>\n
According to police, players sold undercover officers marijuana during the season and as recently as last week.<\/p>\n
The 17 people arrested were caught making “hand-to-hand\u201d sales of marijuana, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs to undercover officers, police said. They said the bust followed an investigation prompted by complaints from students, parents and others.<\/p>\n
Three prominent defensive players on the team were arrested: linebacker Tanner Brock<\/strong>, the leading tackler two seasons ago, defensive tackle D.J. Yendrey<\/strong> and cornerback Devin Johnson<\/strong>. The other player is offensive lineman Ty Horn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" FORT WORTH, TX\u00a0 \u2014 Authorities arrested 17 students at Texas Christian University on Wednesday as part of a six-month drug sting, an especially embarrassing blow to the school because it included four members of the high-profile football team.
