COLLEGE FOOTBALL Probation violation has Irizarry confined to jail

The Ursuline graduate is being held without bond.
COLUMBUS (AP) -- Suspended Ohio State tight end Louis Irizarry remained in jail on Tuesday after a judge ruled he violated his probation by being arrested on a robbery charge.
Irizarry, a 19-year-old sophomore from Youngstown and a graduate of Ursuline High School, appeared before Franklin County Municipal Court Judge James Green on Tuesday.
Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel suspended Irizarry from the team on Saturday, hours after Irizarry and teammate Ira Guilford were arrested and charged with felony robbery by campus police.
Irizarry was put on probation after he was found guilty of assault, negligent assault and disorderly conduct for his involvement in a fight in a campus dormitory last October. He also spent three days in jail.
Held without bond
Green ordered the 6-foot-5, 235-pound player held without bond. He and Guilford, an Ohio State tailback who was also suspended after his arrest, have a preliminary court date of May 11.
Guilford was released Monday evening after paying a $25,000 bond.
Kenneth Whitwell, 20, of Brecksville, reported that he was assaulted on campus Saturday at 3 a.m., according to police records. Whitwell said he was attacked by two men who stole his wallet and drove away.
Irizarry and Guilford were stopped in a car soon after, not far from where Whitwell was robbed.
Ohio State athletic director Andy Geiger said Monday he was particularly upset by the trouble Irizarry had gotten into after pledging to reporters that he had learned from his mistakes.
"Louis Irizarry had made his big speech to the media about how he had all this kind of stuff behind him," Geiger said.
