Ada County Jail

Jeron Johnson

BOISE -- A starting defensive back for the Boise State Broncos will play today after spending some time behind bars on Thanksgiving day.

That Bronco is 20-year-old Jeron Johnson. He turned himself in yesterday after failing to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge.

A spokesperson for the Boise Police Department says on Sept. 6. Johnson was cited for a minor in consumption.

A bench warrant was issued and Johnson turned himself in.

BSU Sports Information Director Max Corbet says Johnson will play in today's game against Fresno State.

Johnson is a starter and has played in every game this year.
