| 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. |

| 2008-01-03 | Trailer_Trash | Joey Barton | Small-Time | Crime Link | 18 | Yahtzee!!!!!!!!!!!! I knew my boy Joey Barton would hook me up - here we go:
1 count of drunk & disorderly which is how he is clearly described below 2 counts of assault & battery for attacking 2 teenagers in the street 2 counts of child endangerment (they were only teenagers and he punched one kid unconscious) He will miss 2 games for his actions Footballer Joey Barton to spend New Year in a cell as court refuses bail By LIZ HULL - More by this author » Last updated at 21:36pm on 28th December 2007 Shamed footballer Joey Barton will spend New Year behind bars after he was remanded in custody yesterday over an alleged street fight. The Newcastle United player was arrested in the early hours of Wednesday outside a 24-hour McDonalds following an all-night drinking session in Liverpool. The incident could see the £45,000-a-week midfielder sacked. Sources at Newcastle said the club was examining his contract to see whether it could be terminated in light of his arrest. Magistrates were told yesterday that Barton, 25, "snapped and lashed out" after being goaded by other diners at the McDonalds at around 5.30am. The confrontation continued outside. Police were called after Barton was spotted on CCTV allegedly attacking two teenagers, who cannot be named for legal reasons. One of them was reportedly punched unconscious. He was taken to hospital but has since been released. Magistrates refused to grant Barton - whose half brother, Michael, 18, was convicted of the racist murder of Anthony Walker - bail after hearing details of two previous alleged assaults for which he is awaiting trial. They remanded the Liverpoolborn player into custody until next Thursday, meaning he will miss two Premier League games for Newcastle. On hearing the decision, Barton, who has made one substitute appearance for England, turned to a guard beside him and held his hands out to be cuffed. Jayne Hughes, prosecuting, said Barton had been charged with common assault and affray. "The CCTV clearly shows Mr Barton involved in altercations with members of the public going about their business," she said. "He was seen pacing around Church Street and lashing out indiscriminately at people walking around and standing around." Barton’s brother, Andrew, 19, was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm and another woman, Nadine Wilson, 27, was charged with common assault and affray. Newcastle declined to comment, although insiders said manager Sam Allardyce was "livid". Refusing Barton, of Widnes, Cheshire, bail magistrate Carol Myers said: "I have to consider the safety of the public - you lashed out indiscriminately." Barton is already awaiting trial for assault next year following a training ground clash with his former team-mate at Manchester City, Ousamane Dabo. He is also due to appear in court in Liverpool next month on a charge of criminal damage following an argument with a taxi driver in 2005. |
