Party at the Coaches House

A University of Mississippi assistant coach has been charged with public drunkenness, court records show.Defensive line coach Joe Cullen is scheduled to appear Wednesday in Oxford Municipal Court to answer the misdemeanor charge. If convicted, he could be fined $182.
Ole Miss spokesman Langston Rogers did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment.Cullen was arrested by Oxford Police before midnight March 3. He was booked at 12:15 a.m. on March 4 and released on a cash bond seven hours later.Cullen is the second Rebels assistant this year arrested on an alcohol-related charge. Charlie Camp resigned as linebackers coach Jan. 29 for personal reasons, hours after his arrest on charges of misdemeanor DUI and driving without a license plate.Cullen coached at Indiana for three seasons before joining head coach Ed Orgeron at Ole Miss.

I really like this guy, I have seen him in action at practice twice. What are the Oxford cops doing? I hope we do not let this guy go, surely we will just punish him in another way. If anyone has any info into this I would love to know what happened?
