TUSCALOOSA | The Tuscaloosa County Sheriff's Office booked four University of Alabama football players on felony charges ranging from fraudulent use of a credit card to second degree robbery Monday.
Running back Brent Calloway, 20, was charged with fraudulent use of a credit card. Linebackers Tyler Hayes, 18, and D.J. Pettway, 20, were charged with second-degree robbery, while defensive back Eddie Williams, 20, was charged with both crimes.
