A woeful offseason for Arkansas off the field continues Saturday, with word that a couple more Razorbacks have found themselves on the wrong side of the law.

According to ArkansasNews.com, three UA football players were arrested this afternoon and charged with residential burglary. The three facing charges are wide receivers Marquel Wade and Maudrecus Humphrey and redshirt freshman tight end Andrew Peterson.

The trio was booked intothe Washington County Detention Center on the single charge each earlier today.

There are no details available as to what led to the arrests, nor has the school commented on the development.

Wade, Humphrey and Peterson are the fourth, fifth and sixth UA football players arrested since the middle of March on charges ranging from felony theft of property (offensive linemanJason Peacock) to possession of a controlled substance/paraphernalia (wide receiverMichael Whitehurst) to aggravated burglary and theft of property (linebackerTyler Gilbert). Additionally, Bobby Petrino was ousted as head coach for, well, ya know, while another wide receiver, Quinta Funderburk, and another linebacker, Brock Haman,decided to transferout of the program.

Also, starting linebacker linebackerAlonzo Highsmithmissed all of spring practice with a left pec injury, and his status for the start of the 2012 season remains up in the air.

Other than that, its been a relatively quiet offseason in Fayetteville.
