Former West Virginia Mountaineer Tyrek Cole arrested in Florida

Former West Virginia defensive back Tyrek Cole was arrested in Tallahassee, Fla., Wednesday on charges of battery and property damage, according to a state arrest report.

Cole is not a part of the Mountaineers' program and has not been since September, a team spokesman confirmed Thursday. No comment was offered beyond that.

His bail was $500, according to the report.

A four-star recruit in the 2015 recruiting class out of Miramar, Fla., Cole was on campus when West Virginia began its fall training camp on Aug. 3.
