Former Clemson football players allegedly took ex-teammate's cash while he was at practice

Two former Clemson football players allegedly stole money from the apartment of one of their former teammates while his girlfriend was there and he was away at practice, according to new information the Clemson Police Department released Tuesday.

Jadar Johnson, 22, and Charlie Fuller, 22, both part of Clemson's 2016 national championship team, are charged with armed robbery and possession of a weapon during a violent crime. Co-defendant Quaven Maurice Ferguson, 22, faces the same charges in connection to the robbery, which occurred at an apartment on Sloan Street in Clemson around 4 p.m. March 28.

The victims were a 21-year-old male who lived at the apartment and a 20-year-old female who lived at a separate address, according to an incident report. Their names were redacted from a 911 tape and supplemental incident reports The Greenville News obtained through a Freedom of Information request.

In the 911 tape, a distressed caller reported the armed robbery.

"I’m pretty sure they’re on the football team because not only were they ginormous, but my boyfriend’s also on the football team, so I think they knew him from that,” she said to the dispatcher.

Two men in hoods with the drawstrings pulled tight forced their way into the apartment, holding a gun in her face, while she believed a third person served as the lookout, she said.

There was a scuffle and the female victim was thrown onto the bed, according to the supplemental report. She said they stole cash from the apartment and her phone.

Police identified Johnson, Fuller and Ferguson through surveillance video from a city of Clemson parking deck, according to warrants. The men were seen returning to a white, four-door Mercedes-Benz that is registered to a family member of one of the men, according to warrants.

A parking enforcement officer was actually issuing a parking ticket to the vehicle next to the Mercedes when the suspects ran back to the car, got in and drove off, according to a supplemental report.

When the man who lived at the apartment returned home from football practice and spoke with police, they asked him if he knew anyone who drove a white Mercedes-Benz.

He said "the only one would be CJ Fuller," according to the supplemental report. He added that Fuller would know where he lived, as he'd been to his apartment.

The female victim had her phone returned to her the following day, after it was found in the pool area of the apartment complex by a neighbor. The pool area is near where the suspects would have exited the gated apartment complex, according to the supplemental report.

A Clemson municipal court judge on March 29 set each of their bond amounts at $25,000. They were released on bond by the end of the day. Before Johnson was released, he made a phone call to his mom from detention and told her that he "did something stupid," according to the supplemental report.

The defendants, as part of conditions of their bond, are under electronic monitoring and prohibited from leaving South Carolina or contacting the victims.

The three men are due back in court at 8:30 a.m. May 17 in Pickens County.

Fuller and Ferguson graduated from Easley High School, and Ferguson played football at Duke University.

Johnson, originally from Orangeburg, started 17 games at safety for the Tigers and went undrafted in the 2017 NFL Draft. He signed with the New York Giants as an undrafted free agent but announced his retirement from football before the season began.

In February, head football coach Dabo Swinney announced Fuller’s plan to transfer out of the program for the 2018 season.
