Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. indefinitely suspended after arrest, Kalen DeBoer says

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama safety Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. was arrested over the weekend.

Kirkpatrick, a sophomore, was charged with three counts of reckless endangerment, one count of attempting to elude and speeding. He was booked into the Tuscaloosa County Jail at noon on Saturday, November 1, and was released on $1,500 bond within an hour of his booking.

On Monday, Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on Kirkpatrick.

“Unfortunately, with the information I have at this time, talked to Dre, and we need to indefinitely suspend him,” DeBoer said. “He understands there are consequences that come with his actions.”

Kirkpatrick is in his second year at Alabama and has played in all eight games, contributing on defense and special teams. He is the son of former Crimson Tide standout Dre Kirkpatrick.

Alabama was off last weekend for its second and final bye week of the regular season. The Tide will return to game action on Saturday, November 8, when it plays host to the LSU Tigers.
