Washington State dismisses WR Loftus from team
PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) - Washington State has dismissed wide receiver Drew Loftus from the football team after his arrest for allegedly trying to steal a couple of bottles of alcohol from a grocery store.
Pullman police say Loftus tried to leave the Dissmore's IGA store early Friday morning with two bottles of tequila shoved into the waistband of his sweatpants.
The Spokesman-Review reported Tuesday that he was arrested on misdemeanor counts of theft, minor in possession of alcohol and minor intoxicated in public.
The 19-year-old Loftus caught one pass for 37 yards last year as a freshman.

Go cougs !
So by stealing maybe $40 worth of booze this guy throws away a $100,000+ college scholarship. Way to go Genius.
Another one bites the dust.
This is why I went to a school that values education over sports revenue. Didn't have to deal with common thugs pretending to be college students.Â
 @lakeview Where was it that Ryan Leaf went to school? Didn't he play QB??? Where is he now? Oh yeah, prison...
 @boeman  @lakeview You can play that game both ways. Yeah WSU had Leaf, but they also had Trufant, Olerud and Klay Thompson. Kind of like while UW had upstanding student athletes like Jon Brockman, it also had Venoy Overton and that rapist frat president. It's not the schools, good and bad people are everywhere.
 @SalParadise  @lakeview kind of my point. Pick any school, they have their good apples, and they have their bad apples. Patting ones self on the back because of THEIR choice of such a great school is kind of hollow....
and it continues. Â wtf is going on. Â
He's only 19. At 29 when he's working for 9 dollars an hour, he's really going to regret that moment.
They gave this idiot a scholarship? Hope it's voided also.
@Klondiko Nope he was a walk-on. The university was actually getting paid for him to be there. Way to do your hw retard.
 @Klondiko No Doubt...
