2010-07-26ACCSmall-TimeFraudLink13Florida State University football player Nigel Carr is behind bars this morning after he was arrested Sunday on several charges.

Carr, 20, faces two counts of burglary of a structure and one count of property damage, theft of a credit card and fraud.

He was arrested by Tallahassee police and is being held at the Leon County Jail on more than $15,000 bond. More details about the arrest are expected later this morning.

Carr also made non-football related news when Walt Disney World in 2007 permanently banned Carr and three other black Florida State University football players from visiting any of the company's theme parks after officials accused them of loitering in the parks.

Under pressure of accusations of racial profiling, Disney officials revised their decision and only banned the teens from visiting Downtown Disney for a year.

2010-06-09SeahawksNuisanceApologizing to TeamLink2RENTON, Wash. -- Seahawks rookie wide receiver Golden Tate apologized Tuesday and said he was "very embarrassed" after police in suburban Seattle gave him a warning for trespassing into a gourmet doughnut shop at 3 a.m. last weekend.

"Freshly baked. I made the mistake of -- a buddy made the mistake going in grabbing a couple. We ate them," the former Notre Dame star said after an organized team activity. "This is the wrong type of media I want to bring to the organization."

He also called the incident a "foolish mistake."

"But," he added, "if you ever want maple bars, that's the place to go."

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said he has already spoken with Tate about the incident.

"No, I'm not disappointed at a guy being at a doughnut shop at 3 in the morning when they got maple bars like Top Pot has," Carroll deadpanned.

"However, under the circumstances, I think they were closed or something like that, trying to close, or whatever," the coach said. "That's definitely wrong. We've talked about it, addressed it. He's remorseful and all that. I do understand the lure of the maple bars."

2010-05-28Big EastNuisanceResign In ShameLink14A Connecticut official tells the Associated Press that two assistant coaches have left the men's program a day before the school plans to hold a news conference to update an NCAA investigation of potential recruiting violations.

School officials, including coach Jim Calhoun, were to attend Friday's on-campus event, along with attorney Rick Evrard, an outside counsel who advises UConn on NCAA-related matters.

A school official said assistant coach Patrick Sellers and director of basketball operations Beau Archibald had both agreed to resign from the school in advance of the news conference. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because he wasn't authorized to release the information.

The Hartford Courant, citing unidentified sources, first reported the resignations Thursday.

Messages seeking comment from the AP were left for Calhoun, Sellers and an NCAA official.

The NCAA and the school have been investigating the program since shortly after a report by Yahoo! Sports in March 2009 that former team manager Josh Nochimson helped guide basketball recruit Nate Miles to Connecticut, giving him lodging, transportation, meals and representation.

The Yahoo! report also alleged that UConn coaches exceeded limits on the number of phone calls that can be made to recruits.

2010-04-27Big 12Small-TimeUsing Soft DrugsLink16Another day another college athlete busted smokin'...

Posted by John Taylor on April 27, 2010 8:19 PM ET
It seems like a day doesn't go by here at High Times CFT when there's not a charge somehow related to marijuana being faced by a college football player.

And today is no different.

The latest to find themselves in legal bong water are a pair of Arkansas defensive backs. According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, David "Cheech" Gordon and Hunter "Chong" Miller were arrested Monday night and charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Here's the Democrat-Gazette's account of how the alleged dope duo were popped, with our emphasis added:

Miller and Gordon were observed by a police officer in a university parking lot lying in the back seat of a vehicle Monday evening. The police officer approached the vehicle and could spell a strong odor of burnt marijuana, according to a preliminary arrest report. A cloud of smoke rolled out of the vehicle when Miller opened the door and a plastic bag containing a "green leafy substance" was found inside the driver's side door panel, according to the report.


(Not that there's anything wrong with that, but "lying in the backseat of a vehicle"? Together?)

The first arrest stemmed from an Oct. 20 altercation in which Robinson grabbed the woman and threw her to the ground, putting her in "fear of the safety of her life, limb and health," according to the arrest warrant.

In an agreement with prosecutors, Robinson pleaded guilty to a charge of simple battery and prosecutors dismissed a disorderly conduct charge.

A judge sentenced Robinson as a first offender, and ordered him to serve 12 months on probation, perform 40 hours of community service, abstain from alcohol and receive substance abuse counseling.

Police arrested Robinson again Nov. 30, after police say he smashed the taillights of the same woman's car at the East Campus parking deck.

Prosecutors dismissed a criminal trespass to property charge, and Robinson pleaded guilty to underage possession of alcohol.

A judge sentenced Robinson to an additional six months of probation, ordered him to serve another 30 hours of community service and told him to have no contact with the woman.

Richt suspended Robinson for the first two games of the upcoming football season.

On Friday, Robinson threw the woman off his bed in UGA's McWhorter Hall, picked her up and slammed her on the floor, according to the arrest warrant.

He surrendered Sunday afternoon at the Clarke County Jail on a simple battery charge, and is held without bail until his bond hearing today.

Boise State Football Player Charged with Aggravated Battery

BSU Bronco senior safety Jason Robinson, suspended earlier this month for violating team rules, now faces a felony aggravated battery charge.

Boise Police say officers were called about 8 p.m. Saturday, February 139th, to a battery that had occurred about 12:30 a.m. that morning at a bar on the 500 block of W. Main Street in downtown Boise.

According to Boise Police spokeswoman Lynn Hightower, "During the investigation, officers learned the suspect, Robinson, a female, and another male were talking when the victim, an Eagle man in his mid-20's and unknown to the suspect, approached the suspect. According to statements, more words were exchanged and the suspect threw a punch hitting the victim in the jaw."

Hightower says the suspect then left the bar.

2009-11-03SpursSmall-TimeCrimes Against NatureLink8Manu Ginobili had to get a rabies shot after he attacked and struck a bat that was circling the court during a game.

Ginobili posted Monday that he doesn't know if the bat had rabies but he had to get vaccinated to make sure he was safe. He also encouraged people to "avoid contact with bats, skunks, raccoons, rats and animals like that."

The bat swooped into the AT&T Center on Saturday night and descended onto the court late in the first period. The bat circled and left only to return -- briefly.

Ginobili swatted it out of the air with a bare hand and carried the creature off the court to thunderous cheers.
