Griffin apologizes for arrest Last update: October 8, 2009 - 12:45 PM It sounds like one of Chilly’s goofy philosophical nuggets: If a cornerback gets arrested for DUI and nobody notices, does it cause a distraction? The answer, I believe, would be no. I bring this up because, on Wednesday, WCCO reported that Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin had been given two days of community service and ordered to pay court fees over an August arrest for drunken driving. An arrest that somehow managed to go unreported by the Twin Cities media. Cedric, according to WCCO, was also given two years probation. It remains to be seen what penalty will be imposed on him by Roger Goodell, but a suspension could be in the offing. Update: Cedric has apologized for his arrest. "I’m apologetic and I’m sorry about what happened," Griffin said. "I’m just trying to help my team win and continue to move forward from that incident." Sorry. Wants to move forward. Is focused on winning. Yup, he hit them all |

Around the time of last year’s DUI arrest, the NCAA forced Oklahoma to vacate eight wins from the 2005 season because Quinn and quarterback Rhett Bomar took money for work they didn’t perform at a Norman, Okla., car dealership. The players were dismissed from the team in August 2006 and lost a year of eligibility. They were eligible to play again last fall. |

| 2008-02-08 | Trailer_Trash | Independents | Small-Time | Crime Link | 3 | ***I substituted "drunk & disorderly" for the reckless endangerment charge for driving on the sidewalk in the middle of the night w/ his lights off***
SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- Notre Dame tight end Will Yeatman was charged Wednesday with misdemeanor counts of drunken driving and criminal recklessness after allegedly driving a car on a campus sidewalk with his headlights off in the early morning hours. The charges were filed a day after Yeatman, a 19-year-old sophomore, was suspended indefinitely from the football and lacrosse teams for an undisclosed violation of team policy. He remains enrolled in school, university spokesman Dennis Brown said. A probable cause affidavit said Yeatman, a 6-foot-6, 263-pound tight end from San Diego, was arrested at 2:49 a.m. on Jan. 28 by campus police. Yeatman, who was released on $250 cash bond, had a blood-alcohol content of 0.11 percent, said Catherine Wilson, spokeswoman for the prosecutor’s office. A blood-alcohol content of 0.08 percent is considered too drunk to drive under Indiana law. Yeatman could not be reached for comment Wednesday because there was no telephone listing for him. A message seeking comment was left Wednesday by The Associated Press on an answering machine at the home of his parents. Coach Charlie Weis declined to comment following a news conference Wednesday to announce signings of high school seniors to letters of intent, saying he would address the issue Friday when he holds a news conference to discuss other football topics. If convicted of criminal recklessness, Yeatman could face up to a year in jail, Wilson said. The misdemeanor alcohol charge carries a penalty of up to 60 days in jail. Typically, the prosecutor’s office reviews such cases to determine whether those charged qualify for a pretrial diversion program, Wilson said. "It depends on the defendant’s criminal history, the particulars of the case and so forth," she said. "It will be determined if it is appropriate." Yeatman is scheduled to appear in St. Joseph Superior Court on Feb. 25. The arrest was first reported Wednesday by the South Bend Tribune, before the charges were filed. It is not unusual for it to take longer than a week between an arrest and charges formally being filed, Wilson said. |
