COLLEGE STATION – Texas A&M freshman defensive end Ondario Robinson was arrested on Monday after university police claim he took a "bait bike" for two rides on campus, according to a probable cause statement obtained by the Chronicle.
The misdemeanor charge was for theft of an item worth between $100-750, according to Brazos County jail records. Robinson, listed as Hill-Robinson in the county justice system, posted bond of $2,000 on Monday.
According to the statement, Robinson took the bike equipped with a GPS tracking device from near the Koldus Building on the A&M campus on Monday morning, and police followed its movement to the Harrington Education Center. About an hour later Robinson came out of the building, presumably after attending class, and climbed back on the bike. He was arrested shortly after and "transported to the Brazos County Jail without incident," according to the statement.
Robinson is redshirting this season after starring at Hutto High, where he made the second team of Dave Campbell's Texas Football Super Team a year ago. Robinson was a three-star prospect by every major recruiting service.
