RB Maurice Clarett (B1G Freshman of the Year, National Champion)

Except for the fact that you're still missing an indication that he actually consumed alcohol. Usually, you're going to be hardpressed to find someone under the influence that doesn't have an odor of alcohol about their person. So if the odor isn't there, I gotta say I don't think there's probable cause.

Well, it was a bottle of Grey Goose, and many people say vodka is odorless (though I've been around enough vodka to recognize its odor).

Again, the pepper spray could mask that. The totality of the circumstances, his behavior, his driving, the open container, and the fact that he was the only one in the car where a bottle of opened vodka was found, are more than enough probable cause.

Maybe someone posted it and I missed it, but I just read this quote on Yahoo Sports:

"The arrest will not affect Clarett's status with the team (Hitmen Coach and Owner) Jim Terry said. 'We gave him a chance and now we'll wait and see what happens. I've seen far worse situations than this.'"

:confused:

Uh, yeah. Maybe with REAL hitmen!

It also says that Mr. Terry spoke to Clarett early this morning about team tryouts at approx. 1:00 a.m.(with MoC giving no indication that anything was wrong), but the call got disconnected. Then Terry missed a call from Maurice about an hour and a half later (2:30 a.m.) which would have been shortly before police first observed Clarett.

Weird

Everybody's favorite shithead Tom Friend was on ESPNnews talking about it. Get this.......apparently MoC called him last night while driving around in his SUV. According to Friend, he sounded like he wanted to turn his life around, but then he "started rambling" (he didn't say about what). Finally the guy interviewing him asked the question I want answered, "where do you think he was going?" Friend said MoC answered with, "thats for me to know, and you to find out."

WTF?

That is seriously fucked up.

I know a lot of people have speculated about it being the WHAC, but I'll lay down 100 vCash that MoC was going over to Andy Geiger's house, not knowing that Geiger moved back to Washington.

No whats SERIOUSLY messed up is the police not giving Clarett a breath test for alcohol.

Dispatch:

"A half-full bottle of vodka was found in the SUV, but no breath test was administered because police had no indication that Clarett was intoxicated, Woods said."


RRRRRRight....A man is swerving across 70, has 3 loaded pistols and a loaded AK, a half bottle of vodka, strapped with a bullet proof vest and he STILL is NOT a suspect for a drinking???....Not even one shot??....gotcha!


Oh yeah, and fellas, we can call off the dogs, we finally figured out what "CDs" were actually stolen from his Monte Carlo back in 2003:

(Dispatch): "Police also found a compact disc of children's songs recorded by Ohio prison inmates that the state distributed last month to prisoners and their families."

Interesting. He should be immediately brought in for questioning. He has no Attorney/Client privilege or code of secrecy to fall back on. If he doesn't spill it, he can go to jail.

Had Clarett's name been changed to Kareem Abdul Jabbar, this would be a case for Homeland Security and all involved would be co-conspirators. Friend included.

I know a few others posted that and I thought they were all correct but, thats what I was thinking when I read all the shit he had with that jacket on. He wanted to go out with a fight because, he knows his life is to fucked up to change it back.

Clarett was obviously in an enraged state. He is almost certainly well out of his football playing shape too, and is likely north of his old 230 lb playing weight now. If he's a regular drinker with a high tolerance, it would be very easy for someone his size to not display the effects of even a large quantity of alcohol, particularly when he's cornered and fending off the CPD. Also, after the high-speed chase and melee in the parking lot, the police aren't going to issue a field sobriety test anyway.

An uncorked bottle of any state regulated liquor (over 42-proof/21%) in the passenger cabin of a vehicle is enough to suspect DUI, even without administering a blood alcohol test or observing the driver drink from the bottle. In Ohio, police still reserve the right to charge a person with DUI even if the BAC test is a pass, the driver does not appear intoxicated, or if the driver is taken into custody without leaving private property.

It is a complete judgement call by the arresting officer in the opinion of the courts, and this policy has existed since 1982.

Besides, a toxicology test was likely administered at the police station, and Clarett will later have that charge added, rendering the whole thing moot anyway.

it takes 2 people from the outside to make it a conspiracy charge and he did IT by talking about it but, your right he did involve himself bigtime and he's so lucky maurice didn't go on a killing spree or bank robbery or he would be in some more serious shit..

I hope this will be a federal case and he'll be gone for along time even if he tries to make this as a mental case at first. They'll put him in there for years until he's ready for trial then the real time starts. At least OJ was smart enough to just ruin his name.

Totally F&^%ed up!
However; the police may still have charged him with DUI/DWI; fighting @ the scene & continuing such while in custody is pretty "purnt near" refusing the test.
My guess, the officers loaded his wagon. He pulled it himself!

The news reports indicate that Clarett had been in Youngstown the day before ... maybe he was just passing through C-Bus on his way down to Georgetown, KY for a tryout at Bengals training camp ...

I mean, if a taser couldn't stop him, the Browns defense wouldn't stand a chance.
