CB Donaldven Manning did not practice today. VT says he'll meet with Frank Beamer tomorrow to determine his future with program. #Hokies— Andy Bitter (@AndyBitterVT) November 13, 2012
Virginia Tech freshman Donaldven Manning was arrested over the summer on marijuana possession charge, but charge was later dropped. #Hokies— Mike Barber (@RTD_MikeBarber) November 13, 2012
When I was told something was brewing earlier in the day, I did a little searching through the Virginia general district court online case information system (Montgomery County General District / Christiansburg). I found five charges for a "MANNING, DONALD LEMAV". The name is not an exact match, but the birth day and month match Donaldven Manning's (year is hidden in the online record). The details of the charges are viewable here: http://imgur.com/a/mVcDN. It would seem to corroborate Mike Barber's report. I was told both pot and maturity issues may be part of the reason why his status with the team are in jeopardy.
Two defensive backs, Boye Aromire and James Farrow have already left the program this year.
