OXFORD –– Colorado Rockies pitcher Drew Pomeranz was arrested early Friday morning, accused of disturbing the peace in Oxford.

Oxford police arrested Pomeranz at 1:25 a.m., and he was released on a cash bond at 4:40 a.m. Pomeranz was listed in jail documents by his first name Thomas.

The Rockies issued a statement Friday afternoon, saying they were aware of the “unfortunate incident” involving Pomeranz. It also said:

Quarterback Randall Mackey was arrested for disorderly conduct late Monday night, early Tuesday morning. 

Mackey was not at practice Tuesday due to a class conflict. After practice Tuesday, Nutt said Mackey will not play the first game Sept. 3 against BYU.

“I’ll take care of it the right way,” Nutt said of his discipline of Mackey. “I always have, always will. Randall Mackey will not play the first game. I’m still looking into everything. The bottom line is he got in a fight. 

A federal judge ordered that David Williams be held without bond for allegedly threatening to blow up a hospital at the University of Mississippi Medical Center and to kill President Obama. 

The Attala County resident threatened the hospital and the president after the medical center refused to do surgery on his wife. Williams was arrested Wednesday after hospital officials reported the threat. 

Dear Editor,
I am writing in regard to Heather Applewhite’s article on the Freedom Riders’ appearance published in the April 14 edition of the DM.

I was appalled when I read the first lines of Ms. Applewhite’s article. Yes, I understand that when one writes an article she needs an opener that will intrigue audiences and pull them in, but beginning with “Three men with extensive criminal records spoke at the Overby Center on Wednesday” was certainly not the best choice to make, especially in this instance.

With spring practice coming to a close with the Grove Bowl on Saturday, Daily Mississippian sports editor Paul Katool highlights the players who have shown out this spring. Here are five Rebels who have played well:

A warrant has been issued for University of Mississippi cheerleader Johnny Beasley, who has been charged with a misdemeanor, Oxford Police Chief Mike Martin said.

The simple-assault charge against Beasley was filed by former Ole Miss baseball player Taylor Hashman.

This occurs after the Lafayette County grand jury decided not to indict Beasley for assault-related felony charges on February 18, 2011.  

Waymon Russell, 40, and Justin Carol, 26, both of Collierville, Tenn., have been apprehended after a police chase that led to the lockdown of Oxford High School on Wednesday, March 23.

Both men have been charged with at least three counts of burglary with further charges pending. According to Oxford police chief Mike Martin, Carol and Russell have been linked to four burglaries in the Oxford area.  

One University of Mississippi student is in jail and two others are facing criminal drug-related charges after a drug bust carried out by the Mississippi Narcotics Bureau.

The students were arrested following a 10-month investigation that combined the efforts of narcotics authorities in both the City of Oxford and Rankin County.
