Former Tennessee football player Brent Vinson is in the Lauderdale County, Ala., jail awaiting extradition to Knoxville after being arrested Tuesday by U.S. Marshals in connection with a May 2009 shooting.
The warrants on Vinson, who is originally from Hampton, Va., are for tampering with evidence and accessory to murder after the fact, according to the Florence (Ala.) Times Daily.
Charles Austin Corn, a 23-year-old Tennessee student, died May 24 in a hospital five days after being shot repeatedly during a robbery at his apartment on Spruce Ridge Way. He never recovered enough to talk with police.
Vinson, then a defensive back at UT, was considered at the time to be a witness to the shooting.
