College football’s offseason always has some weird incidents, but Vanderbilt might have just claimed the strangest.
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Nashville police, three Vanderbilt players were shot by a man who stole one of the players’ phones.
The story goes like this:
- Wide receiver Donaven Tennyson’s phone was stolen when he met a man he was trying to sell it to in a Chilis parking lot.
- The thief put the phone up for sale online.
- Teammates O’Montae Daley and Frank Coppet created a fake account to “buy” back the stolen phone.
- The three players went together to get the phone back in a Target parking lot.
- When they threatened the thief and his friend, the thief fired on them with a shotgun and a pistol.
According to the AJC, Daley and Coppet were both shot. There is no word on their health status or their status with the team.
Remember, vigilante justice is not a good idea and usually doesn’t go as planned.
