Apparently Darryl Stonum spent some time in jail

At least according to Mark Snyder and the Freep

 

 

Darryl Stonum, a projected starting receiver and U-M's primary kickoff returner, spent three nights in jail last month, according to Washtenaw County court records.

The junior from Stafford, Texas, was sentenced in 15th District Court in Ann Arbor and spent June 4-7 in Washtenaw County jail for probation violations.

 

The probation was related to the DUI he received a couple years back.

 

These were the violations:

 

From May 15, 2009, through June 1, 2010, according to court records, he committed probation violations such as leaving the state without consent, failing to submit to random alcohol testing nine times in a 63-day span, failing to complete additional alcohol testing and failing to report for probation on multiple occasions.

 

Here's the rest of the article if you're so inclined

While many may be melodramatic and say that Stonum "risked the lives of innocent people by getting behind the wheel drunk," the bottom line is that Stonum's crime was victimless and did not involve violence or the sale of drugs.  I do agree, though, with the general sentiment here that his punishment will and should be handled in-house.  Or, better yet, in-Big House.

As for that comparison to MSU, I think one probation violation involving one drinking incident isn't even "worthy" of being compared to fourteen players committing a premeditated act of gang violence against innocent students, especially when some of that violence was male-on-female.

I have a feeling, though, that Stonum may be like a batter looking at an 0-2 count right now.

I don't think it's "melodramatic" at all to say a drunk driver "risked the lives of innocent people by getting behind the wheel drunk." Especially when you know multiple people whose lives were seriously affected at the hands of drunk drivers. When drunk driving is victimless, it's only victimless by chance.

drunk driving is one of those misjudgments made by a lot of college students. I would hope awareness, increased patrolling, and increased punishments have made a long strides in reducing the occurrence since I was at Michigan, but still.

Actually, given that Kevin Grady went through the same set of circumstances, I do not think the board would go overboard if this was a story about an MSU player. We don't have a moral leg to stand on.

I also agree that repeated organized group assault is very different than deciding, while impaired, to drive. DUI is also different than facilitating a cocaine deal, or a fraudulent cocaine con. (And even then, the difference is the decision to immediately dismiss someone from the team by one coach, over welcoming them back [after assaulting a student athlete so badly his brain was injured] only to have them do it again by the other coach.)

So I was hoping to get through the summer without news like this. Oh well.

And why does anyone feel the need to expose stuff like this anyway?

While none of these probation offenses sound particularly egregious, they definitely point to a pattern of disregard for his legal responsibilities.  Hopefully Stonum will learn from his time in jail that when you break the law, you have to make amends.  Sure, it is annoying to check in with your PO or submit to random testing, but it is also annoying to the rest of society that he drove drunk.  This isn't a newspaper or "haters" looking to pick on UM; this is a legit story about a football player who decided not to follow the law.

They need to put a flight of steps in back of the new press boxes/club seating structures just to give them that extra distance to run.
