One day after he was arrested for allegedly stealing cell phones at the Texas Tech student recreation center, Da’Leon Ward has officially been cleared of all charges. The news broke Wednesday morning via the Twitter account of Lubbock attorney Tray Payne.
Tuesday, Ward was arrested for an incident that allegedly took place in November. The news of Ward’s arrest broke at almost the precise moment head coach Kliff Kingsbury was praising the sophomore running back to the media for his performance in Saturday’s scrimmage.
In fact, Kingsbury has consistently praised Ward throughout the spring and summer as he worked his way back into the program’s good graces following a team-imposed redshirt year in 2017.
