How do you cook Gator? With a taser of course.

Florida Gators starting cornerback Janoris Jenkins was arrested over the weekend and charged with fighting and resisting arrest without violence, police in Gainesville, Fla., confirmed.

Gainesville Police spokesman Lt. Keith Kameg says police saw Jenkins punch another man in the head shortly after 2 a.m. Saturday. When Jenkins continued fighting, they shot him with a Taser, and he tried to run away.

Kameg says Jenkins told police the fight started because he thought someone was going to steal the gold chain around his neck.

Jenkins' attorney Huntley Johnson says he believes his client acted in self-defense and prosecution will be deferred or charges dismissed.

A spokesman for the University of Florida's athletic association said no action has been taken.

Jenkins was named to the SEC Coaches' All-Freshman Team last year and became the second true freshman in school history to start at cornerback on opening day.

Oh, I love me a good tasered athlete story. Plus, I'm none to keen on the defending champs as well. I've got an idea. Instead of traveling the globe and circumsizing the penises of the world's empoverished maybe Tim Tebow could stay home and do some training on his fellow Gators. And if he doesn't have enough work there he can do the same at the U and FSU. That'd make a good reality show.

P.S. - This story reminded me that the 'Don't Tase Me Bro' thing happened at Florida. So here it is. Enjoy.
