Former UT quarterback Jim Bob Cooter was arrested Friday night, on an aggravated burglary charge. Police found him in a bed.

Knoxville Police were called to a home on Franklin Station Way, in the Fort Sanders area. When officers arrived, they heard the caller screaming. They burst into the home, and saw the woman running out of her bedroom, screaming that a burglar was in her room.

Inside, they said they found former UT quarterback Jim Bob Cooter in the woman's bed.

Officers said Cooter admitted he didn't live there but refused to answer other questions. He's held on $10,000 bond.

Cooter saw limited playing time as a UT Vol. He later returned to the team as a graduate assistant in 2007. He is no longer in that position.
