GREENVILLE — Two East Carolina football players were arrested last weekend.
According to court records, Emanuel Davis and running back Brandon Jackson have court dates next month to face charges.
Davis, a cornerback, was charged with disorderly conduct and possession of alcohol under the age of 21.
Jackson, a running back, was charged with being intoxicated and disruptive, resisting public officer, consuming alcohol by someone under 21, driving after consuming under the age of 21 and DWI.
Jackson, according to the court record, “unlawfully and willfully did appear intoxicated in a public place, the parking lot, Stratford Arms Apartments” on South Charles Boulevard on Jan. 10 and “was disruptive in that the defendant did curse, shout at and rudely insult others.”
It also indicates Jackson “unlawfully and willfully did resist, delay and obstruct” a public officer by “refusing to comply with a lawful command to be quiet and quit interfering with his investigation.”
Davis was a starting defensive back for the Pirates. Jackson played an integral part in the running game early last season.
