BUCK3Y3 44 Posted August 29, 2013 FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Police say former Arkansas lineman Josh Melton has been arrested on a second-degree murder charge. Fayetteville police say Melton was arrested Wednesday after Melton and a friend spent Tuesday night drinking. Authorities say Melton told police that he and his friend got into a confrontation after the friend vomited in Melton's living room. A police report says Melton punched the victim several times. The victim, whose name hasn't been released, was pronounced dead by emergency responders. The report says Melton was cooperative and concerned and said he didn't intend to cause his friend's death. Melton was an offensive lineman for the Razorbacks from 1999 to 2002. He's being held in the Washington County jail, and court records don't list an attorney.

rzb+ 367 Posted August 29, 2013 I don't know what it is with former players sticking around Fayetteville but it makes for a bad recipe. Matt Jones went from a superstar in the state to a coke head. And now this. Sad stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
