Maurice Clarett - Breakin the law, breakin the law. Breakin the law, breaking the law

Link - He's hitting stratospheric heights of idiocy.

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 taken to police headquarters to be interviewed. Police planned to charge him with carrying concealed weapons and other counts, Woods said.




Clarett made an illegal U-turn on the city's east side and failed to stop when officers, in a cruiser with lights flashing, tried to pull him over, Woods said.

Police were pursuing Clarett on eastbound Interstate 70 when he darted across the median and began heading west. Clarett drove over a spike strip that was placed on the highway, flattening the driver's side tires of the SUV, Woods said.

Clarett exited the highway and pulled into a restaurant parking lot, where officers removed him from the SUV after he failed to obey numerous orders to exit the vehicle, Woods said.

After Clarett was placed in a police van, officers discovered a loaded rifle and three loaded handguns in the front of the vehicle, Woods said.

Woods said he did not know where Clarett got the guns or why he had them, and that federal authorities plan to trace their ownership.

Clarett, 22, is currently awaiting trial on two counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of robbery and one count of carrying a concealed weapon in a separate case. Authorities said he was identified by witnesses as the person who flashed a gun and robbed two people in an alley behind the Opium Lounge in the early hours of Jan. 1.

Messages seeking comment were left Wednesday morning for Clarett's attorneys in that case, Nick Mango and Michael Hoague.

Clarett scored the winning touchdown in the second overtime to lead Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, the school's first since 1968. But that was the last game the freshman played for Ohio State. He sat out the 2003 season after being charged with misdemeanor falsification on a police report, then dropped out of school. He sued to be included in the 2004 NFL draft and lost in court.

A surprise third-round pick in the 2005 draft, he was cut by the Denver Broncos during the preseason.

I swear, every article about this guy ends with the following statement. It doesn't matter if is about being cut from the Broncos or killing a kid in a wheelchair:

We know he scored the freaking touchdown already.

 
Hopefully, his bail will be revoked and he gets to stay in custody until the trial(s) are concluded.
 
It's an unfortunate saga. He was a talented athlete with tremendous potential. He was clearly misguided in college and turned down a path that destroyed any potential of a career in football.

Hopefully he turns his life around, but it looks like he may land in prison before that happens.

don't hate on the bengals. So they gotta draft a few thugs here and there. Otherwise they'd be stuck winning 4 games a season again.

Its hard to feel sorry for a guy that simply refuses to grow up and be a man. He's had so many second chances that its no longer unfortunate imo but entertaining to see how low he can go.

No, the current Bengals is correct. They've got several players in trouble with the law right now.

1 more got a dui for boating on the ohio river this weekend. Chris henry, the best rookie reciever last year is at 4 arrests this off season, odell thurman, a promising linebacker was arrested, 2 of the draft picks have been arrested...
 
gee, I wonder what he would be doing early on a Wednesday with four loaded guns and a bullet proof vest.

hmmm
 
This guy is dumber than a mud fence. On a brighter note, I understand that the Ratbirds are inquiring about his willingness to switch to defense.
