Boise State signee Raymond Sheard arrested, won't be at BSU
Raymond Sheard, a Dallas-area running back, won't be attending Boise State after he was arrested at his high school Tuesday.
Sheard was arrested at Arlington High School after he was sent to the principal's office. After behaving suspicious, according to the Dallas Morning News, his backpack was searched. He signed with the Broncos in February.
Raymond Sheard, 19, was sent to the school office Tuesday where his suspicious behavior prompted school officials to search his backpack. They found an unloaded gun, non-prescription drugs and marijuana, Arlington police spokeswoman Tiara Richard said.
Sheard, who ran for over 1,500 yards in 2014, is facing four charges from the incident including possession of a prohibited weapon, tampering with an ID, possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana.

According to the Idaho Daily Statesman, the tampering with the ID charge is related to the gun's serial number being removed.
Sheard was a two-star recruit according to Rivals. After the news of his arrest, Boise State is down to four scholarship running backs for the fall. Charles Bertoli announced he was leaving the team earlier in April.
