Update: Tyrese Cooper Arrested For Second Burglary Charge For Stealing a Car Prior to His First Arrest

One also must be an academic “qualifier.” Minimal academic numbers do come into play.

What a loser! He has unbelievably sprinting ability which could get him a full ride to a great university. Instead, this idiot would rather "keep it real" by stealing cars.

This kid is going down the wrong path. I too hope he can turn it around. My question is what can the running community do for him? Hopefully getting caught will be the wakeup he needed.

He was steeling cars according to second arrest. He's lucky he didn't kill someone.

Young men do a lot of stupid crap and hopefully he can get it back together. Anyone know if he will likely go to prison?

Why does the running community have to do anything for this guy? Even a young kid knows that stealing a car is wrong! Don't make excuses for him - he chose to be a thug and now he's going to pay the price. Society doesn't owe him anything

Who cares, sprinters are a dime a dozen

Cruisin' down the street in my six-fo'

Jockin' the bitches, slappin' the hoes

Went to the park to get the scoop

Knuckleheads out there cold shootin' some hoops

A car pulls up, who can it be?

A fresh El Camino rolled, Kilo G

He rolls down his window and he started to say

It's all about makin' that GTA

Stealing a car for a joyride is way more fun than sitting in a trigonometry class.

WTF

How is this possible? No way he can represent a school....absurd. Even unatrached against other HS kids representing their schools....

Is Cooper out on bail? Is Cooper out on his own recognizance? Did Cooper make a plea deal which may include deferred sentencing? What were you expecting? Were you expecting 5 to 10 years in prison?

I realize these were rhetorical but his arraignment on the 4 charges from 5-01 is scheduled for 5-30. He was released to his parents via judge pre-trial release.

For the May 11th charge, the PreTrial is scheduled for 6-08. Again released to his parents via judge pre-trial release.

He'll likely appear at neither and the cases will all be rolled into one plea resulting in community service and probation. It is the probation which is typically the problem for those on it. The slightest hiccup gets them in more trouble than they realize.

He's also got a trial scheduled for 6-11 on the resisting w/o violence charge from early April.

He wasn't representing a school. Even without the criminal issues he wouldn't be able to represent a school since the school track season has ended.

Many schools won't allow MileSplit to to talk to their athletes. Texas A&M is one of those schools. Why? Because Milesplit exploits athletes. When the athlete makes one mistake, MileSplit forgets how they have been using/exploiting these kids to promote track meets and sell subscriptions helping their bottom line. There have been many high school athletes to commit crimes much worse than this and MileSplit didn't even mention it. Why now? Because they are once again exploiting Cooper like no other high school athlete in history...for profit. One of the reason this kid stays hurt is because he feels pressured to compete at every event MileSplit promotes. What does Cooper get for it helping MileSplilt? Not a damned thing. Now Milesplit has shown its true exploitative colors. Milesplit supports Cooper like a rope supports a hanging man.

its all a misunderstanding.

it was his first time stealing a car, he was lazy and mindweak, he was tired of walking. his buddy was an undercover cop and had him piss in a gatorade bottle then told him to pay pall him some funds, around $32 for a sprite and skittles. the real issue here is a black teen male in american who is highly trained and from the ghetto doesnt gain any street cred from stealing a car. only blacks from the suburbs or dumb out of shape white guys do.

His mother says "He's a good boy, he's a very good boy."

I'd some college recruiter let him borrow a car, none of this would have happened.

if kiprop would have just given him $32 he could have gotten an uber

Is he going to college next yr?

Oregon took David Mack who went on to whack Tupac, so why not this potential Eugene scholar?

I hope he gets his sh!t together.
