Alabama Football Player Elijah Pritchett Arrested for Allegedly Spreading STD

Pritchett, who has played in all games this season, faces a Class C misdemeanor charge, with potential consequences softened by his youthful offender status.

University of Alabama football player Elijah Pritchett was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly knowingly spreading a sexually transmitted disease.
Pritchett, a redshirt freshman, was released on a $500 bond and was granted youthful offender status, which could lead to a more lenient sentence and his record being expunged.
The charge is a Class C misdemeanor in Alabama, carrying a penalty of three months in jail and a fine of up to $500.
Pritchett has played in all 13 games this season for Alabama, primarily as a left tackle, and his team is set to play Michigan in the College Football Playoff on Jan. 1.
This is the third arrest of an Alabama football player this year.
