The Texas A&M Athletics Department confirmed that true first-rate striker Chris Morris has been arrested and that coach Jimbo Fisher is aware of the situation. The Burleson County Sheriff’s Office said Morris was arrested for escaping from prison with a motor vehicle and charges of reckless driving. He deposited $ 6,500 bail and was released, according to the sheriff’s office.
