| Two ex-WVU football players are incarcerated in Central Regional Jail, waiting
for bond to be posted. It is set at $200,000 each.
Travis Garvin, 25, and Alvoid Mays, 38, were caught after they allegedly held up
the Glenville Foodland at gunpoint Friday night, according to State Police
spokesperson Sgt. Jay Powers.
Garvin, of Bradenton, Florida, was a wide receiver for the Mountaineers from 2002
to 2003.
He was WVUs third-leading receiver as a senior last season, but was
suspended for part of the Gator Bowl in January for violating unspecified team
rules.
Garvin also left the team two other times in 2003. Once after a cousin was shot
to death in a Bradenton parking lot. He missed the 2002 Continental Tire
Bowl for personal reasons.
The Big 12 freshman of the year at Missouri in 1999, Garvin left the team a year
later after a disagreement with then-coach Larry Smith about a knee injury
suffered in practice, but other news reports say he was suspended over a drug
problem.
Mays, of Palmetto, Florida, was a defensive back on West Virginia's 1988 team that
played for the national championship in the Fiesta Bowl, then played six
seasons in the NFL with the Washington Redskins and the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
Mays later played three seasons with the Tampa Bay Storm of the Arena
Football League.
