Just two-and-a-half years ago, Michael Antwain Brown, Jr. came to UVA to cover receivers and evade would be tacklers as the punt returner for the football team. Then he tore his ACL in last summer’s workouts and missed the 2007 season. Now, Brown has the long arm of the law to contest with. According to a March 3 press release, University Police have charged the junior cornerback with one count each of grand larceny, possession of stolen property with intent to sell, altering serial numbers and possession of marijuana in connection to a February 6 report of larceny from a vehicle at the Central Grounds Parking Garage. The victim reported four items stolen from his vehicle valued at more than $3,400. Brown was released on a secured bond.
