A former Rutgers player was arrested and charged Monday surrounding a home invasion incident.
Jamil Pollard, who was last on the team in 2014, was charged with robbery, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary per NJ.com.
Pollard is the seventh former Rutgers player now involved in the incident. Former player Lloyd Terry was also charged with the same crimes Pollard was on Monday. He was previously charged with robbery and arrested on Thursday. He was also dismissed from the program after his arrest.
According to police, Pollard was with Terry and Tejay Johnson and Andre Boggs when they forced their way into a residence in December and took money and pot from the residents of a Rutgers dorm.
Boggs was dismissed from the program before the team's first game of the season along with Nadir Barnwell, Ruhann Peele, Razohnn Gross and Delon Stephenson for their alleged involvement in an April assault on four individuals. Johnson was forced to stop playing football because of injury in 2014.
According to NJ.com, Pollard was released after posting a $50,000 bail. He transferred to Rutgers from Penn State. He participated in spring practice in 2014 for Rutgers after returning to the team after an injury. Pollard was a former four-star recruit from New Jersey and was the No. 20 defensive tackle in the class of 2012, according to Rivals.
