Police/Legal Blotter (stop breaking the law, asshole!)

News from down South:
Finley's attorney, Davis Whittelsey, called the arrest a "misunderstanding."

"The charges pending against my client are the result of traffic violations and a misunderstanding," Whittelsey said. "The charges are in the process of being handled in Municipal Court within the city of Auburn as all traffic citations are. As soon as T.J. learned of the charges, he turned himself in and has been released on a bond he signed for himself." SEC, SEC, SEC!!!

14 charged in Mafia-backed betting ring involving athletes​


Fourteen people were charged for their roles in a multimillion-dollar illegal sports betting ring that involved college athletes and had links to organized crime, New Jersey authorities announced Thursday.

According to the authorities, Joseph "Little Joe" Perna, a member of the Lucchese crime family, and his associates ran a nationwide network of bookmakers who used offshore websites to facilitate approximately $2 million in bets between 2022 and 2024.

New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin said several college athletes operated sportsbooks at the direction of Perna's organization. Platkin did not answer questions regarding which colleges or sports were involved in the alleged betting ring.

The NCAA is aware of the charges and is looking into the case, according to a spokesperson.
