The two men accused in Hidic's killing have had criminal troubles. Fortenberry faces charges of organized retail theft, burglary, theft of $50 to $500 and assault with bodily injury involving a family member, Tarrant County jail and court records say.
Crumley was on probation after a conviction for property theft of $50 to $500.
Crumley was an all-district wide receiver, and Fortenberry was an all-district linebacker during the 2008 football season at North Crowley High School. Both had received scholarships to play football at East Central University in Oklahoma.
Former North Crowley football coach Mike Papas said Tuesday that he hadn't kept up with the men since they left high school but that he was aware of their arrests.
"I can't remember any problems with them when they were on the team," said Papas, who coaches at East Texas Baptist University in Marshall. "Terrance and Curtis were leaders on that team, and they were pretty good high school players."
Papas said he is praying for both.
"My heart goes out to them," Papas said. "And for the others involved."
