It looks like former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett is in trouble with the law again:
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Maurice Clarett was arrested early Wednesday after a highway chase that ended with police using Mace on the former Ohio State running back and finding four loaded guns in his truck, a police spokesman said.
Officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after a stun gun was ineffective because the former Fiesta Bowl star was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, Sgt. Michael Woods said.
“It took several officers to get him handcuffed,” Woods said. “Even after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors and being a problem for the officers.”
Clarett was being interviewed at police headquarters. Authorities planned to charge him with carrying concealed weapons and other counts, Woods said.
And keep in mind that this guy is scheduled to go to trial on Monday on the robbery and other charges he was picked up on earlier this year.
More thoughts from Brad Warbiany:
It?s a shame to see what happened. While I know most Michigan fans would like to claim this is an indictment of Ohio State, I?m not going to go there. Every program has this happen sometimes (including Purdue), and sometimes there?s not a lot you can do about it. Clarett was just a bad kid, and that was bound to catch up with him sometime
I agree. While there is much to worry about when it comes to big-time College Football, what happened to Clarett is, in the end, his fault and the fault of those around him (specifically his family and “advisors”) who did nothing while his life slipped into oblivion.
