Published: August 18, 2006 09:25 am CHS student arrested Greg Stewart implicated in recent robbery From Staff Reports Corsicana High School senior Greg Stewart, 18, turned himself into authorities at 3:30 p.m. Thursday after a warrant for his arrest was issued in connection with the June 3 robbery of a Shell Food Mart on West Seventh Avenue. Corsicana Police Sgt. Becky Simpson said she obtained a robbery warrant on Stewart earlier this week and said that the testimony of both the store clerks as well as one of the suspects that was caught, turned the tide in the investigation. “From the statements of the witnesses, the testimony of the suspect and video surveillance in the store, we were able to issue the warrant,” Simpson said. Simpson said Stewart is being alleged as the driver in the robbery. The other suspects in the case are juveniles and remain in custody. There were no weapons used in the heist and Simpson said it started as a shoplifting case but quickly escalated to a robbery. “When the clerk was assaulted, it turned into a larger crime,” she said. Simpson said Stewart had the option of turning himself in or be arrested. Stewart’s bond has been set at $10,000. “Since (Stewart) has no criminal history, the bond was a little lower,” Simpson said. Stewart gained notoriety in the Tigers’ passing game in 2005. He was the leading receiver for Corsicana and was working out at quarterback for the team this year. Tigers must move ahead Stewart off team for now; Baylor no longer interested From Staff Reports Tigers football coach Dave Henigan and his program will move on as if star wide receiver and Baylor commitment Greg Stewart will not be a member of the team, and allow the legal system to take its course. Stewart, 18 and a senior at CHS, was arrested Thursday and charged with felony robbery in connection with a June 3 offense at a convenience store on Seventh Avenue. Police officials said he was believed to be the driver. Stewart turned himself in and bonded out, authorities said. Friday afternoon, Baylor’s associate athletic director of communications Nick Joos said the university was no longer recruiting Stewart. Because of the charges, Stewart will have to attend alternative education classes, Henigan said, per district guidelines. Because he is in AEP, he cannot participate in extra-curricular activities. “It’s disappointing,” Henigan said. “I told the guys, and this is the truth, no one person is bigger than the team or bigger than any other person, a player or a coach. “Whenever this happens in life, you pick yourself up, brush yourself off and go back to work.” Stewart’s long-term status with the team could be determined by the legal road he takes, Henigan admitted, but the third-year coach would not speculate on Stewart’s return should he be exonerated. Last year Stewart was the team’s leading receiver with 67 catches for 1,140 yards and nine touchdowns. On the career receiving list, he trails current Navarro Bulldogs receiver Jon Bauer in receptions (146 to 76), is third in yardage behind Bauer and current New Orleans Saint Bethel Johnson and fourth in touchdowns. He would need 1,111 yards and 13 touchdowns to become the program’s leaders. Stewart is one of three seniors who committed to Baylor over the summer, along with linebacker Chris Sanders and lineman Courtney Green. All three are on the cover of the Daily Sun’s annual preseason football special section, Golden Circle Football 2006, set to be released Aug. 31. Stewart is also featured in the tabloid. Production on Football 2006 ended Monday, and the cover and section have been printed.
