Dolphins Running Back Arrested On Burglary Charge
DAVIE, Fla. (AP) Miami Dolphins rookie running back Cecil Collins was
arrested before dawn today on a burglary charge, WSVN-TV reported.
Collins, 23, was charged with two counts of burglary at an occupied dwelling
after he tried breaking into a home with two people inside at 5:30 a.m., police
told the station.
The arrest of the Dolphins' fifth-round draft pick came in the same town as
the team's training camp.
Considered a first-round pick out of McNeese State and Louisiana State,
Collins' draft stock fell because of legal problems that included a sex-abuse
charge and a failed drug test.
The 5-foot-9, 210-pounder has been out with a leg injury. In eight games, he
has 414 yards and two touchdowns.
