University of Texas safety Robert Joseph has joined the growing list of professional and college athletes making the police blotter with increasing frequency these days.

The 19-year-old Joseph was arrested in the wee hours of Saturday morning after being charged with two misdemeanor counts of burglary of a vehicle.

Joseph was booked at approximately 4:30 a.m. at the Travis County Jail on $6,000 bond after being arrested after running from a security guard who found Joseph sitting in a car that didn't belong to him at a downtown hotel, according to the arrest affidavit.

Like many schools and professional franchises that are tiring of dealing with players who find themselves in off-field trouble these days, Joseph was immediately suspended indefinitely by the Longhorns. [UD isn't sure whether suspended players are counted for the Fulmer...]

... Joseph's arrest is the second for the Longhorn's football team this month alone.

Junior defensive end Henry Melton was arrested on June 1 and charged with misdemeanor driving while intoxicated.

Joseph's arrest affidavit states that Joseph was spotted in a vehicle by an off-duty Austin police officer working security at a hotel parking garage.

Joseph reportedly told the officer that the vehicle belonged to a friend, but fled quickly as the officer began to verify the owner's identity.

Shortly thereafter, the officer again found Joseph sitting in another car. According to the affidavit, Joseph was arrested after telling the officer he was breaking into vehicles to get away from someone who attacked him at a downtown club.
