GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators freshmen receivers Tyrie Cleveland and Rick Wells were released from the Alachua County Jail on their own recognizance Monday following a weekend incident involving a BB gun.

Florida head coach Jim McElwain weighed in on the situation Monday afternoon.

"This is not behavior that we expect and as I often talk about there will be consequences,'' McElwain said.

Both 18, Cleveland and Wells arrived on campus last month for the start of the Summer B semester. They were charged with criminal mischief for property damage in excess of $1,000 -- a third-degree felony -- and shooting a missile inside an occupied dwelling, which is a second-degree felony.

Cleveland and Wells grew up together in Jacksonville before Cleveland, the nation's No. 2-ranked prep receiver last season, moved to Houston to finish his high school career.

There is no update on their status for the start of fall camp next month.
