2 Colorado players arrested in alleged dorm room burglary
Two Colorado football players have been indefinitely suspended from the team following arrests.
According to the Daily Camera, linebacker Nu’umoto Falo and running back Donald Gordon were arrested Thursday morning on charges of “second-degree burglary, theft between $2,000 and $4,999, drug possession and second-degree trespassing” for allegedly stealing from an on-campus dorm room. University police said the two have been accused of stealing “prescription drugs, laptops, video games and other electronics” earlier this month.
Both players are being held on bond as of Thursday morning.
CU head coach Mike MacIntyre is “disappointed” by the arrests, a program spokesman said in a statement.

Falo, a sophomore, appeared in seven games for the Buffs in 2015 and registered 17 tackles. Gordon redshirted the 2015 season and will be a redshirt freshman in 2016.
Falo and Gordon are the third and fourth CU players to be arrested this offseason. Defensive lineman Nathaniel “Blake” Robbins was arrested in March for allegedly assaulting two police officers who responded to a domestic dispute between Robbins and his girlfriend.
