From the Delaware Department of Justice’s public information officer Friday night:

Mr. Smallwood was returned to Delaware yesterday.  He was arraigned today in Wilmington by Justice of the Peace Court 20 and was released after posting $40,000 secured bail.

That’s a promising development for the running back. I suspect we’ll hear from WVU sooner rather than later.

UPDATE: Oof. This isn’t a promising development: Recorded phone conversations! It’s naked evidence, but it’s strong, and it more or less proves this is not a simple misunderstanding — Smallwood did something, perhaps nothing worse that not realizing every phone call in prison is recorded.

Anyhow, he’s nevertheless on campus, I’m told, and I cant believe Delaware releases him and lets him go back to fun college if he’s going away for up to two years. A lot more left to be told here.
