He's already been kicked off the Crimson Tide Football Team on drug charges...now, the former tide linebacker could be in more hot water because of a website.

JIMMYJOHNSPITBULLS.COM features pictures of Johns in uniform, a clear violation of NCAA rules barring student athletes from using their name or likeness to promote a business..in this case the breeding and selling of pit bulls.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports Johns is back home after posting bail. Johns was arrested Tuesday and charged with five counts of selling cocaine. Word is Johns spent Tuesday night in the Tuscaloosa County Jail and was released Wednesday morning.
