Defensive tackle Lamb suspended indefinitely after arrest

Redshirt freshman defensive tackle Timothy Lamb Jr. was arrested by Troy police on April 18 for theft of property in the third degree.

He has been suspended indefinitely, head coach Larry Blakeney said.

“I would think that he’s in some trouble there (legally) but not only that, he’s got other areas he’s dealing with as well,” Blakeney said.

According to Section 13-A-8-5 of the Alabama State Legislature, the theft of property which does not exceed five hundred dollars in value and which is not taken from the person of another constitutes theft of property in the third degree. It is a Class A misdemeanor.

Sgt. Benny Scarbrough of the Troy Police Department said he was caught shoplifting at the Troy Wal-Mart and transported to the city jail.

“A store employee viewed him concealing property on his person,“ Scarbrough said. “He was detained after he left the store.“

Lamb, listed at 5-foot-11, 335 pounds, came to Troy from Hargrave Military Academy. He redshirted last season. His half-brother is sophomore linebacker Xavier Lamb. Tim Lamb missed some of spring practice with minor health issues and is behind at least five others — seniors Kevin Dixon and Rashad Roussell, juniors Emmanuel Dudley and Riley Flowers and redshirt freshman James Searcy — at his position.
