Texas Longhorns redshirt freshman lineman Terrell Cuney was arrested early Wednesday morning for shoplifting, Horns247 has learned.

The incident occurred at 1030 Norwood Park Blvd, the address of a local Walmart. According to documents obtained from the Austin Police Department, Cuney was issued a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a maximum penalty of 180 days in jail and a $2000 fine.

Cuney was issued a citation at the scene and released from custody. However, a citation is still considered an arrest according to police.

Texas head coach Charlie Strong said Cuney remains on the team at a press conference Tuesday, but added the lineman had some work to do.

“Cuney will be there but he has some things he has to get done," Strong said.

Stealing is against Strong's often cited five core values: honesty, treating women with respect and no drugs, stealing or guns. In his first year with the Longhorns, Strong dismissed nine players due to disciplinary issues.

Cuney, who is a reserve center, is from Jasper and signed with the Longhorns as a part of the 2014 class. He is expected to be a reserve lineman for Texas this season.
