The other Gators receiver involved in the incident who got arrested, Tyrie Cleveland, is having his past haunt him.
Tyrie Cleveland is not eligible for deferred prosecution due to a past legal issue in Houston concerning petty theft.

Cleveland has a court date of Sept. 22, where he is expected to accept a plea deal. His sanctions will be similar to Wells'.
