SJSU Football Player Accused Of Craigslist Robberies:

SAN JOSE, Calif. — A San Jose State University football player is behind bars, accused of using ads on Craigslist to lure people into robberies.

Police tell the San Jose Mercury News that Ellis T Jones III used a laptop computer and Xbox 360 as bait.

He is accused of greeting potential buyers with a stun gun before robbing them of cash. He also stole at least one laptop from a victim.

Jones faces 13 felony counts related to four robberies in June. He has been suspended from the Spartans football team.

I’ll give him points for ingenuity but that won’t keep him out of jail.
