DeAndre Ward, Gerri Green Arrested: Latest Details, Reaction on MSU LBs

Mississippi State Bulldogs linebackers DeAndre Ward and Gerri Green were arrested Friday night on multiple charges.

Per Joel Coleman of the Starkville Daily News, Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Department chief deputy Chadd Garnett and additional records confirmed the two were arrested "shortly after midnight" on Friday night.

"Green was charged with having possession of beer in a dry county, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest," Coleman wrote. "Ward was charged with having possession of beer in a dry county and disturbing the peace."

Green was one of Mississippi State's most valuable defensive players in 2015, while Ward contributed as well. Green, a redshirt freshman, was named to the SEC All-Freshman Team after finishing with 44 total tackles and one interception in 12 games.

Ward worked his way up on the Bulldogs roster after joining the team as a walk-on. Head coach Dan Mullen awarded him a scholarship in 2014, and the linebacker had one tackle for loss in the regular season. 

Mississippi State is preparing to play North Carolina State in the Belk Bowl on Dec. 30. Coleman added that Ward and Green attended practice Friday and Saturday, though there is no word on whether the team will allow the duo to play in the game.

Coleman also noted Mississippi State is aware of the situation and plans to let the process play out while handling any discipline internally.
