Maurice Clarret

Clutz · 08-24-2002, 05:29 PM

Let me be the first to jump on this, sure to be, LARGE bandwagen. Maurice Clarret, an 18 year old 6'2 230 pound true freshman runningback for the Ohio State Buckeyes played his first game today. The 9 returning starters from the Texas Tech Red Raiders defence could do little to stop Clarret from making his mark on College Football.
21 carries, 175 yards, 8.3 yards per carry, and 3 touchdowns. Maurice could have had 5 TD's had he not been substituted twice inside the 5 yard line by 2nd year player Lydell Ross for reasons I'll never know. Anyway, here's looking forward to watching this kid for years to come.

NOT TO WORRY, GRIFF FROM WIKIPEDIA:In the early morning hours of August 9, 2006, Clarett was arrested in Columbus after he made an illegal U-turn and led the police on a chase in a sports utility vehicle reportedly belonging to his uncle. After driving over a police-mounted spike strip, the chase ended in a nearby restaurant parking lot. [11]

Police said they were forced to secure a cloth around Clarett's mouth after he allegedly spit at the officers during the arrest. According to Columbus Police Sgt. Mike Woods, the officers discovered a hatchet, a loaded AK-47 variant assault rifle and three loaded pistols in his vehicle along with an open bottle of Grey Goose vodka. The police requested that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives perform a trace on the firearms to determine if Clarett violated Federal gun laws.

The officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after attempts to subdue him with a Taser proved ineffective because he was wearing kevlar body armor.

Clarett was arraigned on the latest charges on August 10, 2006 in Franklin County Municipal Court in Columbus. During the arraignment, Judge Andrea C. Peeples set his bond on the charges of carrying a concealed weapon without a permit and failure to maintain current lane at $5 million. In setting the bond, Peeples agreed with prosecutors that Clarett is now a flight risk or could attempt to intimidate witnesses in his upcoming robbery trial. [12] Clarett will remain lodged in the Franklin County Corrections Center, however, since the $5 million bond for the robbery charge has been revoked by the trial judge. According to a Columbus Dispatch report, Clarett, who was due to be tried for his January arrest, was in the neighborhood of one of the principal witnesses against him at the time the events of August 9 occurred.

The kevlar vest worries me. What plan did his drug adled brain come up with that required that? This kid is a remarkable mess and a really nice cautionary tale about celebrity.

We often hear that poverty inspires criminality. I think this case, and others similar to it, show us that quite the opposite can be true.

I'll be stunned if he finishes the season not in lockup. His history of run ins with the law is ten times longer than Bri posted.

Even I don't typically go out wearing kevlar.
