UNC drops Armwood's Hadley after second arrest

Following his second arrest this month on multiple felony charges, Armwood High senior football player Angelo Hadley was released from the National Letter of Intent he signed in February with the University of North Carolina, according to the university.

Hadley, 18, was arrested Wednesday on felony charges of grand theft of a firearm, armed burglary of a dwelling and third degree grand theft, according to a Hillsborough County Sheriff's Department arrest report.

Hadley was arrested along with two older brothers -- Aubrey, 20, and Adrian, 24 -- in what Hillsborough County deputies called a planned family crime.

According to deputies, Angelo Hadley had sex with a 14-year-old girl while his brothers burglarized her eastern Hillsborough home between Feb. 15 and 19. Angelo Hadley unlocked a sliding glass door for his brothers the night of the burglary. The trio stole jewelry, cash and a shotgun worth more than $17,000.

Angelo Hadley previously was charged on April 5 with lewd and lascivious behavior at the same address.

"What occurred in early April and what occurred in February are all inclusive,'' said sheriff's spokesman J.D. Callaway.

Hadley was released on $15,000 bail after the April 5 arrest.

All three brothers are being held at the Orient Road jail. Angelo and Aubrey Hadley are each being held on $5,000 bond. Adrian Hadley is being held on $10,000 bond.

Hadley was a three-year starter for the Hawks, and ended his career as the program's all-time leader in interceptions. He was a Tribune All-Hillsborough County first team selection each of the past two seasons.

On Feb. 2, Hadley signed a scholarship to play football at the University of North Carolina. He had previously announced his intent to play at UNC on Dec. 18.

Hadley chose the Tar Heels over more than 30 Division I programs that offered a scholarship, many of which were from the nation's top collegiate programs.

Armwood High School football coach Sean Callahan declined to comment on the situation.
