Texas A&M Cuts JJ Caldwell, Suspends Jay Jay Chandler After Marijuana Arrest

The Texas A&M Aggies dismissed redshirt freshman guard J.J. Caldwell and suspended freshman guard Jay Jay Chandler indefinitely, the Dallas Morning News' Ben Baby reported Sunday.

The school's decision comes after both players were arrested Sunday and charged with possessing less than two ounces of marijuana.

Colin Deaver of KAGS News in Bryan, Texas, noted the departure of Caldwell and suspension of Chandler come at an inopportune time for A&M:

Sunday's arrest was Caldwell's second within the last year. Brazos County, Texas, authorities charged him with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated last May.
