Nick Saban consistently tells his Alabama players to avoid three things in particular.

The situation involving star left tackle Cam Robinson and reserve safety Hootie Jones involved two of those three things, which Saban discussed during an appearance on the Paul Finebaum Show Wednesday afternoon.

Robinson and Jones were arrested early Tuesday morning on drug and weapons charges in their hometown of Monroe, Louisiana.

"One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things: Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when you're around guns unless you're going hunting, and you don't want to mess around with women that you don't know because a lot of times bad things happen," Saban said during the interview. "And in this case, a couple of those things were violated. I think it's going to be a learning experience for everybody on our team."

Both players were charged with two misdemeanors.

In addition, Robinson was charged with possession of a stolen firearm, a felony.

The case has been forwarded to the District Attorney's office.

Saban said during an earlier meeting with reporters that he has talked to both players. He said on the Paul Finebaum Show that he talked to attorneys Tuesday, but said, "I don't know much. I can't really discuss it. So we'll just have to wait and see."

"It's the same thing I've been saying to everybody," Saban told Finebaum when asked about Robinson. "We're gathering information about it. When we get the facts, we'll determine whether there's something we need to do internally or not. But Cam Robinson's been a really good player for us. He's been a really good person for us. He's never been in trouble before. So all those things are things that need to be taken into consideration. It's certainly not the kind of behavior that we'd like for any of our players to ever represent the university or themselves or their family, and certainly there's lessons to be learned here."

Saban was asked what it would mean for Alabama if it had to play without Robinson for any period of time.

"We didn't have him all spring and we still had a team," Saban said of Robinson, who didn't participate during the Tide's spring practice following offseason shoulder surgery. "So we've got other players that can play. But Cam's been a really good player for us, and hopefully we'll be able to work through this in some kind of way and he'll learn from it, we'll learn from it and we can do something to help him have a successful future."
