Janzen Jackson Released From Jail, 'Vehemently Asserts His Innocence'

Janzen Jackson, one of the three players arrested for alleged involvement in an armed robbery early this morning, has been released from jail, "on his own recognizance."

According to Jimmy Hyams of The Sports Animal (via Rocky Top Talk):

Janzen Jackson was inside the store when the events first took place. He also noted that the police found marijuana on two of the men when they were arrested, though it was not specified which two. Much of Jackson's fate now appears tied to his exact placement and role during the robbery attempt, and whether or not he was one of the men who had drugs on him. Jackson served a one game suspension for a failed drug test last week.

Jackson maintains his innocence, and his lawyer, Don Bosch, released this statement: This office represents Janzen Jackson. As of this afternoon his bond has been reduced from $15,000 to being released on his recognizance. Mr. Jackson vehemently asserts his innocence. And we hope that this will become apparent in the next 24 to 48 hours.
