Alabama defensive back Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. was kicked off the team after he was arrested and charged for allegedly threatening a police officer involved in his 2025 arrest on social media.
Kirkpatrick was arrested on charges of doxing and harassing communications with a police officer.
He was released from the Tuscaloosa County Jail on $600 bond.
Meanwhile, Alabama coach Kalen DeBoer announced he was dismissed from the program.
“After gathering more information on the situation, Dre Kirkpatrick Jr. will no longer be a part of our program,” DeBoer said in a statement.
“He did not live up to the standards and expectations that I have set for this team and our players,” he added.

ESPN shared further:
Kirkpatrick was arrested last year on three counts of reckless endangerment, attempting to elude police and speeding. He was suspended in October and did not play for the rest of the season.
Kirkpatrick, who rejoined the team in the spring, is facing an additional misdemeanor charge from June for leaving the scene of an accident.
The second-string inside cornerback’s father is former Alabama and NFL cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick Sr.
Kirkpatrick appeared in every game before Saturday and has four tackles on the season.
DeBoer told reporters Monday that Kirkpatrick is “not with us.”
Kirkpatrick allegedly sent the officer a profanity-laced message that included, “text me back don’t be no b****!,” the outlet noted.
The veteran defensive back also allegedly posted a photo of the officer and his family to his Facebook page with the caption, “Dis him?”

The officer said the post caused “severe concern for the overall safety and well-being of himself and his family given the substantial audience and public following Kirkpatrick maintains as a football player for the University of Alabama.”
Kirkpatrick was arrested in November 2025 on charges of reckless endangerment after the traffic stop on The Strip.
He was also received citations for not wearing a seat belt, tinted windows and reasonable and prudent speed.
The officers reported they tried to stop the white Mercedes that was “exhibiting excessive speed and reckless driving.”
The officers were on foot, Fuerch wrote in that deposition, and tried to have the sedan pull into the ride-share lane in front of the police precinct on The Strip.
The Mercedes began moving toward the ride-share lane and them pulled back toward the driving lane.
The incident was captured on surveillance video, as well as Fuerch’s body camera.
The outcome of those charges were not made public.
