Gary Brown of Florida Dismissed from Team

Gary Brown, a red-shirt freshman, was arrested early Sunday morning for two misdemeanor counts of battery. These charges stemmed from a party on Saturday night where Brown was asked to leave and after refusing to do so struck one female in the face and scratched another on the arm.

Brown was dismissed from the team today. UF associate AD Steve McClain has this to say:

"Gary Brown has had a history during his time here of not meeting a set of expectations we have for the student athletes in our football program and therefore he is no longer a part of our program."

This was the 27th reported arrest of a Florida Gator since Urban Meyer took over. That is a little over 5 players being arrested a year.
