Ex-Auburn gridders indicted for robbery OPELIKA, Ala. (AP) — Four former Auburn football players have been indicted on felony robbery and burglary charges by a Lee County grand jury. Court documents posted online Wednesday show that Michael McNeil, Antonio Goodwin, Shaun Kitchens and Dakota Mosley were indicted on five counts of first-degree robbery, one count of first-degree burglary and one count of misdemeanor third-degree theft of property. They are scheduled for arraignment on May 26 in Lee County Circuit Court, with a tentative trial date of June 16. Mosley also faces a misdemeanor charge of conspiracy to hinder business. The players were pulled over and arrested shortly after five occupants of a mobile home reported being robbed at gunpoint on March 11. Officers recovered a pistol and property reported stolen from the residence. |
