STARKVILLE — The arrest of former Mississippi State cornerback Jamerson Love was expunged from his record Tuesday.
Love, a product of Aberdeen High School and a four-year performer for the Bulldogs, was arrested in early April and charged with simple domestic violence. At 6:02 p.m. April 9, the Oktibbeha County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a disturbance regarding a female in distress on Inverness Road in Starkville.
When they arrived, OCSO deputies noted Love was standing beside a white Toyota talking with 24-year-old Destini Jones, a native of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to the report, Love’s head was in the vehicle as he talked with Jones.
Upon further investigation, deputies noticed marks on Love and Jones, and both were arrested and charged with simple domestic violence. Simple domestic violence is a misdemeanor.
On Tuesday, Oktibbeha County prosecutor Haley M. Brown moved to retire the domestic violence charge against Love. Shortly after that motion, Justice Court Judge James Mills signed documents that expunged the arrest from Love’s record.
Love played in all 13 games for the Bulldogs in 2014 and had 34 tackles. He ended his MSU career with four interceptions and one defensive touchdown.
Love participated in MSU’s Pro Day on March 18 and ran a 4.41 40-yard dash, but he wasn’t selected in the NFL draft. He hasn’t signed with a NFL team.
Love signed with MSU after a standout career at Aberdeen High, where he led the Bulldogs to the Mississippi High School Activities Association Class 3A state championship game in 2009. He signed with MSU in February 2010.
