Henry Swinney, Dabo's Brother, Arrested for Stalking: Latest Details, Comments

Henry "Tripp" Swinney III, the brother of Clemson head football coach Dabo Swinney, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of aggravated stalking.  

Zack McDonald of the Panama City News Herald, citing the Bay County Sheriff’s Office, reported that Henry Swinney's estranged wife claimed she continued to receive messages from him despite filing a civil injunction against domestic violence.

Graham Watson of Yahoo Sports passed along comments about the situation from Dabo Swinney following Thursday's practice:

"

There's consequences for your actions. If you don't do the right things, you suffer the consequences. I'm no different from anybody else, my family's no different than anybody else. I think the only sad thing is, it's a story because he's my brother. You know, if I was Joe Schmoe then you're not asking me that question.

"

The Panama City News Herald report noted that the Bay County Sheriff's Office stated the situation began in October when Swinney's wife told him she was planning to file for divorce. He allegedly continued to "maliciously" contact her, which caused "substantial emotional distress."

"It's been a horrible experience," the unnamed victim told the outlet. "No one should have to go through that."

Swinney had his first court appearance Wednesday and was held on $15,000 bond, according to the report. He's due back in court for his arraignment on Feb. 9.

Meanwhile, Dabo Swinney is trying to prepare for Monday night's national championship game against Alabama while the situation plays out. The coach said he loves his brother, but he admitted "he's had a long history of not doing the right things," per Watson.
