ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- From running to the end zone to running from the law, a man considered one of the University of Central Florida's greatest football players was arrested at his alma mater Wednesday night. Charles Lee, Jr. also played for the Orlando Predators and earned a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Lee was a standout wide receiver. Now he's in jail accused of stealing $11,000 in a home invasion robbery.

The Pegasus Landing Apartments near UCF is just one of the student apartment complexes plagued by robberies and burglaries this semester. Word that a former student and star athlete may be behind some of the crime is both a shock and a relief.

There were many touchdowns during the glory days of college for Charles Lee, but Thursday a very different kind of notoriety became part of Lee's resume. A judge denied bond to the former receiver after his arrest for a home invasion at the Pegasus Landing Apartments.

Students are shocked.

"To have such a resume like that. You just downgraded yourself. So I wouldn't be surprised. I think the police did what they had to do," said student BJ Johnson.

Just a few years ago, Lee was a media star, even earning a Super Bowl ring with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers just four years ago. Now, UCF police are trying to figure out how many crimes Lee is connected to.

"One guy was holding me down with his foot, gun to the back of my head. The other guy was going through my drawers and my closet and if I didn't tell him where my valuables were he would kill me," robbery victim Nicholas Rind told Eyewitness News in November.

Now police will are trying to solve more crimes with Lee behind bars. More charges and arrests may be to come.

"It's a good thing that they caught him, definitely," said student Mike Willey.

Before his arrest Wednesday night, things seemed to be going downhill for Lee. He'd lost his spot with the Orlando Predators in April and been convicted and sentenced for robbery in June. He also auctioned off his Super Bowl ring just three years after he earned it.

Eyewitness News requested an interview with Lee on Thursday. Jail officials said he declined with some very colorful language.
