From the newspaper article:
My initial thought was, if his dad was there to bail him out of jail after each of the four arrests, where was the Dad before the kid was cuffed? But the coach is certainly right, too: there's only so much assistance and guidance you can give a child; at some point they're on their own and need to make correct decisions. Four arrests in six months: agravated assault; underage DUI; contributing; theft? This is beyond tragic. What a sad waste of ability.

"He’s no longer a member of Benton football," said Benton head coach Caleb Guidry at practice this evening. "People usually get three strikes. He got four. I’m in the business to try to help kids, but they have to try to help themselves too."

Its sad, but what's even worse is he wasn't doing the same thing every time... No telling what this kid got away with or what has been covered up.
