Charges likely to be reduced against FSU's Parker


By TOM D'ANGELO
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Monday, May 12, 2008

Preston Parker's football career at Florida State should be back on track next week.

The Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office on Monday formally charged Parker
with a felony for carrying a concealed firearm and a misdemeanor for marijuana
possession. But a resolution is in the works that could reduce the felony charge.

"That probably is what we are looking at most strongly," Assistant State Attorney
Alan Johnson said. "We will have an offer out there. A perfectly appropriate
resolution to this case would be a reduction in charges." A hearing is scheduled
for Monday in West Palm Beach.

By Josh Weinfuss

University of Florida football coach Urban Meyer called Jim Slonina on Monday night to talk about the recent incidents involving a gas card that belonged to Slonina?s daughter, Ashley, a Florida student who died in an Oct. 12 motorcycle accident.

"He was truly sad that it had occurred and he talked to us from parent to parent," Slonina said. "I think a lot of coach Meyer. I honestly believe, I knew in my heart that he would not stand for this type of behavior. When he talked to me, it was person to person. From a parent to a parent."​
