Pitt LB Gunn indefinitely suspended


PITTSBURGH (AP) -- Pitt senior middle linebacker Adam Gunn has been suspended indefinitely from the football team after being charged with public drunkenness and several other offenses resulting from a dispute outside a Pittsburgh nightclub.

Gunn was charged with two misdemeanors, resisting arrest and failure to disperse, and two summary offenses, including disorderly conduct, after he and former Pitt player Austin Ransom were involved in a disturbance on the city's South Side on Sunday night.

"This incident is both surprising and disappointing. Adam has always been a strong representative of our program and his involvement in this type of situation is very out of character," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said in a statement released by the school.

Grady jailed for probation violation

WYOMING, Mich. (AP) -- University of Michigan running back Kevin Grady has been jailed for seven days after pleading guilty to violating his probation on a 2008 drunken driving conviction.
The 22-year-old Grady entered the plea Thursday in Kent County District Court.

Grady was arrested July 2 in the Grand Rapids suburb of Wyoming for driving with what police said was a blood-alcohol level about three-and-a-half times the state's legal limit. He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor drunken driving.

Court officials tell The Grand Rapids Press that Grady failed to properly report to probation agents and failed to complete 24 hours of community service, among other violations.

Gators CB Janoris Jenkins arrested, tasered over fight

Gainesville Police got forceful with Florida Gators cornerback Janoris Jenkins, a freshman All-American last year, before arresting him for his involvement in a street fight over the weekend, according to Alachua County jail records.

Police tasered Jenkins, 20, after he failed to comply with requests to stop fighting with five other people early Saturday morning, according to jail records. Jenkins was arrested on misdemeanor charges of resisting arrest without violence.

Jenkins hit another person in the head after the officer's warning at 100 S. Main Street at 2 a.m., according to jail records. The officer applied one taser cycle on Jenkins, who then stood up and ran away, according to the records. He kept running after the officer yelled for him to stop, but he was later arrested about one and a half blocks away, according to the records.

UPDATE: Gainesville attorney Huntley Johnson, who is representing Janoris Jenkins, said he believes his client did nothing wrong during the weekend skirmish and simply defended himself.

Johnson said he learned through a thorough investigation that Jenkins tried to break up a fight and only struck back when someone grabbed his rope chain and tried to "choke him."

"At that moment, he wasn’t focused on listening to the cop telling him to desist young man," Johnson said.

Johnson believes Jenkins will receive deferred prosecution and possibly find the charges dropped after what he calls a "very minor incident." The Sentinel left a message with a Gainesville Police spokesman.

OK. Was he fighting with 5 other people - 5 on 1 - or were five other people fighting?

Yep. I heard that from my parents growing up. I was one of the very few that had a curfew of 10pm all the way through my senior year in HS (which I hated my parents for at the time, but now looking back was glad they did what they did as I am one of maybe 20 out of our HS class of 200 that was never arrested).

That little quote in the back of my mind, and the fear of my father kicking my ass if I ever got arrested, kept me out of trouble (for the most part) until I had a family of my own.

Now, I have my son to repeat this sound bit of advice, and hope that he takes it to heart the way I did and keeps his nose clean the next few years (he turns 12 in a couple months).
