With relatives like these ...
... who needs enemies? Apparently the older brother of South Carolina defensive tackle Nathan Pepper went on a bit of a crime spree this weekend.
Here's the really interesting part. After shooting one person in the face and stealing her car, then shooting and killing another person and stealing her car, Demetrius Pepper was arrested outside South Carolina's stadium, where little brother Nathan was playing in a spring scrimmage.
Since Demetrius lives in Greenville, which is about two hours away from Columbia, the initial theory was that he started shooting people and stealing cars so he could make it to Columbia to watch his little brother play in a scrimmage.
I'm going to keep checking on this to see if that theory holds, but if it does, man that's just sick.
