Two Texas Tech players charged with felony credit card abuse

Two Texas Tech players were charged with felony second-degree credit card abuse after the pair allegedly used a card that didn?t belong to them to purchase drinks at a bar.

According to the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, employees at the bar became suspicious when sophomore tight end Jace Amaro and sophomore running back Kenny Williams offered a ?big tip to a bartender,? apparently to try to get the bartender to overlook the use of the card to pay their $100 bill for drinks.

Amaro was also underage and was charged with a misdemeanor count of misrepresentation of age.

Both players saw playing time as freshmen and have worked some with the first team in spring practices.

In a statement released to the paper, Texas Tech athletics department spokesman Blayne Beal said: ?Texas Tech will allow the Lubbock Police Department to conduct its investigation into the matter involving two football student-athletes. Once that investigation has been completed and more facts are known, the university and head coach Tommy Tuberville will take appropriate disciplinary action if necessary.?
