Donna Hatcher happens to be Bri'onte Dunn's mom. She is the coolest mom in all of Ohio:

Don't know the exact details,
Don't know the exact details, but it doesn't sound like it was a lot of pot. It was probably over 100 grams, because anything less than that is decriminalized in Ohio, but no matter who's pot it was you can't get all over a mother for helping her son out of a minor brush with the law. Especially, again, when we don't know all the details, and because we definitely know the law, including police procedure, isn't infallible.

"I't doesn't sound like it
"I't doesn't sound like it was a lot of pot. It was probably over 100 grams" Do you or have you in the past even smoked marijuana? 100 grams isn't a lot of pot to have in the car to you? That's an insane amount of marijuana to have. Do your homework.

In Ohio, again, that amount
In Ohio, again, that amount is decriminalized, so the state has come to some conclusions about what an insane amount is. IMO, it's a brush with the law, and still don't fault his mother from stepping in from a parenting standpoint, which is my main point. Also, yes, my friend. Sometimes even while I do my homework, so Gatorade me bitch.

I advocate legalization, but
I advocate legalization, but I still can't grasp the fact that a quarter pound of weed is decriminalized. In my state, anything under 28 gm. is decriminalized and that seems kind of high to me. If you're just a recreational smoker and don't intend to sell, 7 gm. is a realistic amount to have with you.

That's almost a QP....
...not that I would have any experiences in these matters....
Ok, you get credit for the answer, but a better response for
MGoBlog would have been "I don't think 100 grams means what you think it does".

I guess it doesn't matter at this point
As a parent, you want to protect your kid. As a parent, you should also try to keep your kid from making a mistake. You can look at this as her protecting him or her protecting her own interests.
If he goes pro, she retires immediately. If he gets suspended and has a lackluster career because he's in the doghouse, she has to keep working. It's a tough call to make between doing the morally right thing and the thing that will eventually lead you to a life of comfort.
Not to say that it wasn't her pot, but it does seem awfully convenient. I wish the kid the best and hope that this is the last we hear of him communing with the cops.
Don't care about this case,

And you're basing that on?
The kdi denied at all times it was his. She showed up to the scene and said it was already in the car, HER car, before he used it. That's all we know. Do not judge people.
There's an equally good chance she's an addicted user, feels terrible about it, but did not want her son to suffer for her mistakes.

"addicted user"? Addicted
"addicted user"? Addicted user? Are you serious? You know we're talking about marijuana, right? I've smoked for a decade pretty regularly, I made some changes in my life, and now I only get to smoke twice a month. You know how much that bothers me? None at all. Save your "addicted user" spiel for kids in the DARE program, you weirdo.

If so, I'm gonna refrain from making any comments.
Well played, Don.
And you'll note the-only-slightly sarcastic quality of my OP. The story could (he said, laughingly) be completely true. This isn't even the biggest story of the week, much less the summer.
I will say this; whilst Dunn might not face any legal jeopardy beyond a misdemeanor (I confess; I'd love to see some dashboard-camera video from one of the police cruisers), he is probably not out of the woods on "violation of team rules." When the team tests your urine, and they find cannabinoids (something the police won't be doing), the test doesn't say, "it was my mom's weed."
ha ha!
Imagine the pay day for the person who invents a strain of weed that produces the "it's my moms weed" result!!!

I'm sure it's all perfectly coincidental that almost every unlawful charge against a Buckeye player is conveniently later dropped because of some sort of misunderstanding.
I bet meteorologists love Columbus for all of the "perfect storms" that seem to converge on their poor innocent athletes out there...
No, no, no.
Dunn was pulled over in Alliance, not Columbus. And Stoneburner, Mewhort, Storm Klein and Jaamal Berry all disagree with you about how OSU football players are coddled by local law enforcement.
I guess it depends on if you
I guess it depends on if you believe the pot was hers or not. If it was her pot then she did the right thing in taking responsibility for it and not letting her son get in trouble for her drugs.
On the other hand, if you believe that the reason Brionte narrowly missed hitting a police vehicle (the reason he was pulled over in the first place) was because he was perhaps stoned then she is neither the best or worst mom in Ohio for getting her future cash cow out of trouble.
But she might be the smartest.
If it was her pot, the fact
If it was her pot, the fact she felt it necessary to use an apostrophe in her sons first name makes so much more sense.

It doesn't say that she admitted it was hers, only that it was in the vehicle before he used it.
Round up the usual suspects.
You have no idea
what happen and who actually "owned" the weed. You're speculating the monther is enabling her son. Also, it is unclear if the police had any reason to search Dunn.
Also, caffeine could be considered a drug.
Once Bri'onte gets into his first criminal justice class
at The Ohio State University, he'll be able to tell his mom about Arizona v. Gant, and how you should put all of that stuff in areas that are not within the immediate control of the vehicle occupants, so as to avoid warrantless searches incident to arrest.
You're giving OSU criminal
You're giving OSU criminal justice too much credit. Know who else was a criminal justice major there? Terrelle Pryor. Dude probably can't even remember the Miranda rights, much less read them.

Pryor probably thought "Miranda rights" had something to do with his grandmother's Carmen Miranda albums.
Still
thought some level of probable cause is needed to search ANY area in the vehicle.
