LUBBOCK, Texas -- Prosecutors recently dropped burglary charges against three former Texas Tech football players in exchange for the players agreeing to perform community service and meet other requirements.Under terms of the agreement, a felony charge of burglary of a habitation against each of the ex-players was dismissed and they will enter a pretrial diversion program that includes a number of provisions, including mandatory drug testing.Dakota Devon Allen and Robert James Castaneda, both 20, and Trace Keaton Ellison, 18, were kicked off the team in May for failure to uphold student-athlete expectations. A grand jury indicted them in June and theyre no longer enrolled at the university.Allens attorney, Guy Womack, said the Lubbock County district attorneys office signed the agreement Friday and state District Judge Jim Bob Darnell approved it this week.Allen had never before run afoul of the law and earned Big 12 academic honors in 2015, Womack said, and was an ideal candidate for the courts diversion program.This is reserved for individuals who the district attorney believes warrant a resolution of their case without criminal consequences, Womack said Tuesday.Authorities said the three men broke into a Lubbock home at some point between Dec. 20 and Jan. 9 and stole a gun safe containing seven handguns and rifles worth $14,000, two digital cameras and a TV, according to an arrest warrant affidavit.Investigators said the owner of the stolen rifles was in a pawnshop in March looking for a new gun and found one of the weapons there, the affidavit said. That led investigators to a man who told police he had paid Castaneda for several weapons. Castaneda was reluctant to name the two other individuals but eventually told investigators their jersey numbers, according to the affidavit.Allen would have been a sophomore linebacker and one of the teams top defenders. Castaneda would have been a sophomore offensive lineman, and Ellison, as a redshirt freshman, was expected to be a backup offensive lineman.Womack said Allen is enrolling at East Mississippi Community College, a junior college national powerhouse.Womack downplayed Allens role in the theft and sale of the weapons and said although the felony charge was dropped, Allen suffered humiliation and lost a scholarship at Tech worth $100,000.Castaneda is enrolling at a community college in Iowa and hopes to restart his football career, his attorney, Chuck Lanehart, said.An attorney for Ellison did not return a call for comment, and the district attorneys office didnt return a message seeking an explanation of the agreement.

Parenteau scored early in the third period to help the Avs edge Toronto 2-1 on Tuesday night. Cory Sarich also scored for Colorado (3-0-0), which is off to its best ever start.Michael van Gerwen takes on Phil Taylor in Rotterdam on the last night of the regular Premier League season and John Part has picked his winner. Van Gerwen leads the Premier League table on leg difference, but Taylor can snatch top spot if he topples the world No 1 in front of his Dutch fans tonight, live on Sky Sports 1.The battle for the last remaining play-off spot will also be resolved as either Peter Wright or Adrian Lewis attempt to secure a place on the season-ending night at The O2. Robert Thornton v James Wade James Wade failed to secure a place in the top four This is a bit of an exhibition game as it really means nothing. Robert cant change positions and theres only the slimmest of chances James could. Hed need Barney to lose heavily and I dont see that happening, so basically James is playing for pride.Itll still be a great atmosphere so the players will feed off the overall buzz and excitement. It should therefore be a little nervy even if it doesnt mean anything and this should be a great venue to play in, so itll mean a lot to both players. James is kind of spluttering at the moment while Thornton has been turning up, throwing the darts, playing reasonably but not matching the class Wade has shown at his best.Its hard to predict but I think Wade will respond to a poor run. All the pressure and intensity of playing for a position goes but hes good in front of a big crowd and I think hell bounce back. Sky Bet odds: Thornton to win 3/1, Wade to win 4/7Verdict: Wade to win.Peter Wright v Raymond van Barneveld Peter Wright needs a win to keep his play-off hopes alive Peter needs to win this to keep his hopes alive and if he wins heavily he could really have a great chance to reach the top four. Unfortunately for Snakebite, Raymond has every incentive to fire on the last week of the season. Hell want to finish well, particularly in front of a massive home audience, and thats a huge negative for Peter.There are bound to be a bunch of celebrity friends out watching too and I think Raymond will match Peters effort to put on a good show. There is a risk both men try too hard and theres a lot of pressure on Wright, who knows he needs not only to produce himself but also to rely on another result going his way. The other issue for Peter is that Gary Anderson doesnt care about his game against Adrian Lewis, hes third either way, and when hes not interested he doesnt always perform. Sky Live: PL Darts night 15 Michael van Gerwen will be have home support when he faces Phil Taylor in Rotterdam It looks improbable that Wright will advance although hes done a great job to run it this close. He was great last week, annihilating Wade, and hes not going quietly. Nonetheless I find it hard to imagine hell survive. As for this match I fear he mmay struggle if trying a little too hard, especially in this atmosphere, so I quite like Raymond.ddddddddddddHes played some very good darts over so much of the season and his form looks pretty good.This could be one-sided and low on quality given the situation, but Ill stick with Raymond winning.Sky Bet odds: Wright to win evens, Van Barneveld to win 15/8Verdict: Van Barneveld to win.Adrian Lewis v Gary Anderson Adrian Lewis could be feeling the pressure when he faces Gary Anderson The way the standings have worked out couldnt have been better for Adrian. The one thing that could inspire Gary to perform is the venue and the occasion - it could be a wonderful atmosphere, maybe even better than finals night, and perhaps the world champion will want to put on a show. Nobody wants to look like a bum, especially in the match before the highlight which hes not involved in, despite being reigning World and Premier League champion. But necessity is clearly not there and thats often a huge driving factor for Anderson, who does better in that scenario rather than when its all about ego as it is here. Theres certainly a lot in Adrians favour. He certainly has necessity, especially if Peter has won heavily, and either way he should be right up for this.Theres no need to try to spice this up given Gary could throw countless 180s and miss doubles, as we used to expect from him, and the bet is simply Lewis to win the match. I see him doing just that.Sky Bet odds: Lewis to win 5/2, Anderson to win 8/11Verdict: Lewis to win.Phil Taylor v Michael van Gerwen Michael van Gerwen will be seeking a sweet win over Taylor in front of his home fans Phil would absolutely love to win this. Its pretty fairytale-ish either way, really, and we have an intriguing match on so many levels. Two great players, a new venue, a huge crowd… but the probable outcome is still Michael to win. Were on Phil to top the table at 5/1 but he may just miss out.The MVG treble at 9/4 is a good bet, as his record dating back to the start of 2015 is very strong - eight wins, one draw, one loss against Phil. Theres no mystery about who is the dominant player right now and it just depends whether Phil can conjure something magical, which clearly he could do.But even if that happens, and Phil does play his best, Michaels best would still be enough and he has been raising his game all season. Hes 8/13 to win the game which is a good bet alone. However, the match treble is 9/4 and Id only really be concerned about the high out, so its worth the risk at 9/4. This will be a great spectacle and great viewing.Sky Bet odds: Taylor to win 3/1, Van Gerwen to win 8/13Verdict: Van Gerwen to win.Watch all of tonights Premier League matches from 7pm tonight on Sky Sports 1.
