Rutgers DB Darian Dailey arrested on robbery charge in Florida
Rutgers defensive back Darian Dailey was arrested Sunday morning in Florida after he and another man allegedly robbed a bicyclist.
According to the Sarasota County Sheriff’s Office, the two men were in a car when they allegedly committed the act. The person on the bike was able to get the license plate number of the car.
Dailey, 19, of Bradenton, was held Monday in the Manatee County jail on a Sarasota County warrant charging him with robbery with a firearm. Jail records didn’t show whether he hadn an attorney.
The other suspect, 19-year-old Trezelle Johnson of Sarasota, was also jailed on the same charge.
Rutgers coach Kyle Flood issued a statement that the team was aware of the situation.
Dailey was a redshirt freshman in 2014. He said he chose to come to Rutgers because of the fit of the school. And the food.
“It’s about the block R, honestly,” Dailey said when he committed to the school in 2014 via NJ.com. “I want to be a part of the DBU (defensive back university) that they have. And I think that’s the best fit for me because I like to play man-to-man and I like to go in on corner blitzes.
“It was just the best fit for me,” he continued. “All the coaches treat you the same. They treat you as if you are their own child. It was good. I liked the people around there and the food was great.”
