| 2008-04-10 | IrvinSucks | Mid-Eastern | Serious-Criminal | Crime Link | 15 | A Bethune-Cookman football player was charged with attempted murder after he allegedly pulled a shotgun on a man who owed him money.
Brandon Wright, a backup quarterback and running back, was being held Wednesday in the Volusia County branch jail on several charges, including trafficking cocaine within 1,000 feet of a school, home invasion robbery and false imprisonment, a jail official said. The two "other felonies" are for the home invasion and false imprisonment. |
| 2008-01-08 | IrvinSucks | Will Bynum | Serious-Criminal | Crime Link | 15 | Former Georgia Tech basketball player Will Bynum, now playing in Israel, was arrested for his involvement in a brawl at the Jerusalem nightclub "G-Spot", where he was celebrating his birthday (Assault & Battery). After being accosted by clubgoers inside, Bynum went outside to find his car windows smashed (WPWT). Bynum then hopped in his windowless ride and proceeded to run down the club DJ with his car. He then backed up and ran him over two more times (Attempted Murder). The DJ is in serious but stable condition. From some other articles, it looks like Bynum has been thrown in a Tel Aviv prison indefinitely, as they feel he is a threat to flee the country.
