  Texas A&M senior linebacker Chris Russell has been charged with failing to identify and giving false/ficticious information during the arrest of teammate Ainias Smith who had all his charges dropped from the July 20 incident. Smith had a trio of charges dropped Friday, which was the same day Russell turned himself in at the Brazos County Jail, reported the Houston Chronicle's Brent Zwerneman. Russell was released Saturday morning.

Russell was with Smith when the senior wide receiver and punt returner was arrested on charges of DWI, possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana and unlawfully carrying a weapon. Russell provided a fake name and date of birth when asked for both by police, Zwerneman reported. Smith denied owning the handgun or marijuana as did the passenger, which at the time wasn't identified. Russell later returned on July 20th to provide a statement that he owned the marijuana, but prosecutors didn't move forward with charges because they were unconvinced of Russell's statement. However, the University Police moved forward on the fact Russell provided false information. Gun possession is legal in Texas if no other crime is being committed and Russell wasn't arrested at that time for supplying false information, a decision made by the officers on the scene, reported the Chronicle. - Bryan/College Station Eagle
