Former UCLA RB Craig Lee Reportedly Arrested for Attempted Murder

Former UCLA running back Craig Lee was reportedly arrested Friday in Los Angeles and charged with both attempted murder and attempted robbery.

According to TMZ Sports, court documents show that Lee and at least two other men were arrested in connection with events at Kings Palace Marijuana Dispensary in Jurupa Valley, California, on June 30, 2016.

One of the men allegedly shot an employee before leaving the store when a security guard returned fire in what prosecutors have called a "robbery gone wrong."

Lee's family released a statement on the matter, saying, "Anyone that knows Craig should know pulling a gun on someone with intentions to murder them is not in his character.
