Florida CB Janoris Jenkins believes he learned from his mistake, arrest

Florida’s Jenkins learns lesson following arrest

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins says he’s learned his lesson after being Tasered and arrested in May following a downtown fight.

Jenkins, a sophomore from Pahokee, was on the field Thursday as the Gators opened preseason practice. He says he learned a lot about being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Gainesville Police charged Jenkins with affray and resisting arrest without violence May 30 after he tried to flee from the scene of the fight.

He signed a deferred prosecution agreement with the State Attorney’s Office in June. If he avoids any violations in the next sixth months and fulfills the rest of the terms of the agreement, Jenkins’ record will be wiped clean.
