IN -- Texas running back Ramonce Taylor, who scored a touchdown in the Longhorns' Rose Bowl win over Southern California, was arrested early Sunday by Bell County sheriff's deputies who said they found about five pounds of marijuana in a backpack in his car.

According to a news release from Sheriff Dan Smith, deputies also found a live 40-caliber round of ammunition in the console of the vehicle.
Taylor, 20, was arrested for possession of marijuana over five pounds, a second-degree felony, punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
The case was to be reviewed by District Attorney Henry Garza's office Sunday to decide if formal charges would be filed, the sheriff's office said. Taylor remained in the Bell County Jail and would be arraigned Monday.
Taylor had been excused from spring practice in March to focus on academics and had not participated in any team functions since then, Longhorns Mack Brown said in a statement released by the school.
"We are aware of this recent situation and will follow it as the legal system runs its course. At this time, we will not consider reinstating him to the team," Brown said.
It was not immediately clear if Taylor had an attorney.
Ken Oden, an Austin attorney who represented Taylor in a December assault investigation -- Taylor wasn't charged -- told the Austin American-Statesman the player's mother told him about the arrest. Oden said he suggested hiring a lawyer in Bell County.
"She's just trying to figure things out," Oden said.
According to the sheriff, deputies received a report at 1:35 a.m. Sunday of a large fight involving as many as 100 people at a pecan farm in Little River, a community about 40 miles north of Austin.
Deputies also received a call from someone who said they had been at the fight and complained a window on his vehicle had been broken. That caller turned out to be Taylor.
While interviewing Taylor at a convenience store, deputies were told by other officers at the fight scene that Taylor had been involved and had threatened to return with a gun. Taylor was placed in handcuffs.
Taylor told deputies he didn't have a gun and gave them permission to search his vehicle. Deputies reported finding the bullet and the backpack with the marijuana. Deputies said the backpack belonged to Taylor.
Taylor was arrested and his vehicle impounded. Two other individuals with him, who were not named in the report, were released at the scene.
An operator at the sheriff's office said Smith would not have further comment Sunday and that no other information was available.
One of Texas' most versatile players, Taylor scored 15 touchdowns last season, including a 30-yard scoring run in the Rose Bowl, which Texas won 41-38. The win gave Texas its first outright national championship since 1969.

Good lawd, that's alotta weed. See ya in , .
What a ing idiot....he called the cops...he gave them permission to search....what a ing idiot!!!!!!
yeah thats waht gets me...why call the cops when you ahve that much ...and the tell them to saerch...kinda wierd they let the others go though.
Also kind of weird how they handcuffed him just cuz they "heard he was going to come back with a gun"
He must have been mouthing off.
yeah that is weird too. imean i didnt think rumor was enough to arrest someone.
wow
bahahahahahahaha. looks like no romance for next year..
Well, he gave us a good season. Jamaal Charles, Selvin Young, Melton, dude UT is so stacked at HB it doesn't hurt us that bad.
That's too bad... I always thought Romance could have been Reggie Bush-Lite.
say hi to ricky for me
damn. i guess thats good news for our boy, Jerrell Wilkerson!
i thought i heard he was going to transfer. is that true?
Romace Taylor should transfer to Texas State University. It's a good idea. He'll still be close to all his buddies in Austin, plus he will break pretty much every Texas State record in existence.
wow, thats news to me
If he did transfer he wouldn't be playing football this season, he could go to a school with easier academics though and not play football.
wilkerson left the team before the rosebowl
he never had carry
I figured san antonians would know that
anyway its a big blow, but I dont think he was going to see much time at tailback unless selvin or jamaal miss games
texas is deep with experience at receiver too
15 TDS is a lot, but selvin wants more!
obagonnya is ready to blow up too
that dude comparable in size to melton, but with a lot more speed
looks like vondrell mcgee wont redshirt either
although I wont start a NORML rant
its foolish that if he wanted, he could have had a million dollar contract in less than a year
and he blew it for a few throwbacks
No Ramonce? ..its only pot.
He wanted to be like Ricky.
Ricky invented smoking weed
What a dumbass, literally
Can't pass his classes and calls up the cops to get busted
This is one of those cases where they should sentence him for the dope, the fight, and the threat...and then double the sentence for being STUPID enough to call the cops and then tell then to search his car, knowing he had 5 lbs of GANJA in the car.
Damn....
incredibly idiotic i'll give you that
but still smarter than throwing a forward lateral to a white freshman walk-on WR teammate with zero(o) career catches, in your opponents territory, with the lead in the national championship game
ROFL
that one can cheer anyone up
who is vondrell mcgee
and why would we not redshirt him if he is a tail back when we have 5 other active tailbacks
thats stupidity at its finest...
mcgees the best tailback texas has coming this fall
obagonnya is a fullback/TB
so that leaves charles, selvin and melton as the only ones who would actually play when the game means anything
selvin is gone after this year
meltons a short yardage and goaline back
so going into 2007 with 1 TRUE tailback (charles) to have ever carried the ball in their collegiate career would be pretty ing stupid
well hopefully he's decent
If RT hadn't have gotten those 15 TD's last year, someone else would have. He was just one of many weapons in that offense that was coming back this year. UT will be fine.
