OSU RB Brionte Dunn charged with possession of marijuana
Been a tough summer for Hoke and Urban Meyer. It will be interesting to see how Meyer handles this considering starting RB Jordan Hall is out at least another 6 weeks with injury.
Mod Edit [zl]:
From Eleven Warriors:
UPDATE 7:58pm: An Alliance Police Department report shows Dunn was arrested on June 2 for "Failure to Control." He appeared in court June 6, plead guilty and paid $35 and court costs, a total of $110.
There is no listing of Bri'onte Dunn being arrested July 28 or July 29 on the Alliance Police Department's online listing of arrests.
ESPN Radio couldn't have jumped the gun, right?
Update to the update: Eleven Warriors is now saying there is a new arrest. No new details yet.
End Mod Edit.
Not the Mod Edit:
The arrest is not related to the June incident.
More from Eleven Warriors:
UPDATE 9:06pm: Dustin Fox confirms Dunn was arrested this weekend:
Confirmed the Dunn arrest.. I have some more information but don't want to put it out there right now. I'm sure OSU will release a statement
UPDATE 8:37pm: Former Ohio State punter Jon Thoma weighs in:
Heard from someone back home that the Dunn weekend arrest is real. Couldn't say anything else, but doesn't look like the June arrest is all.
Not the Mod Edit #2:
CantonRep.com is reporting Dunn was found with drug paraphernalia possession and a seat belt violation, both misdemeanors. They report he was not arrested or booked into jail.
Not the Mod Edit #3:
CantonRep.com is now reporting Dunn was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was charged with a total of 4 misdemeanors and actually looks like he got off pretty lightly considering the potential DUI/reckless driving (already has a prior failure to control) and close to half a pound of marijuana in the police report:
Police observed Dunn driving on E. Broadway Street when he almost ran the blinking red light at Arch Avenue, traveled over the crosswalk and almost struck a patrol car, according to a police report.
Police stopped Dunn for the violation and he and his passenger were found to have a wooden pipe used for smoking marijuana, along with less than 200 grams of marijuana on the seat cushions and floor boards where he was seated. A small amount of marijuana was also found in the driver’s door pocket, according to the police report.

You reap what you sow; it's as simple as that.
what does "trolling" have to do with it?
I didn't vote you up or down, but here is why this happening:
1. You reap what you sew? In what way? What exactly are you trying to get at? My guess is this is being interpreted as trolling.
2. First rule of MGoBlog (there are many first rules by the way) is you never ask/complain about neg votes. You'll only get more.
You and I obviously had the same response in mind for that dude and typed it simultaneously.
Okay, well, I don't care about points. Why is that vague, it's a simple principle: cause and effect.. If he did something wrong and was arrested than his actions caused it, right? I don't see any "rules" posted.
...from down and up voting. You get points from making posts. Some people who read and post on this blog are overly sensitive (and I'm sure I will get marked as trolling or flamebait for saying that), so don't take it personally. I used to get mad when people downvoted me but I simply don't give a shit anymore.
EDIT: And the rules he was talking about are unwritten.
Well said.
In your opinion it may have been. Nothing cruel about that, now that's my opinion. Comment if you feel the need to.
You sowed what many people thought was a trolling comment, and you reaped a trolling moderation tag out of it.
But seriously, like some else alluded to earlier, this was a kid we were very interested in, so there's no point in trying to say something like "He's obviously a bad kid" or "he fits right in at OSU." Also, we have been bit by the legal issue bug ourselves this offseason, so don't really have much right to say much about this situation...
You got sow and reaped mixed up.
No, actually I didn't. To sow is to plant something (you planted a comment perceived as trolling). To reap is to harvest something (and you harvested a trolling mod tag). I meant what I said, and I said what I meant.
You on the other hand, should really learn the definition of the words you chose to use and their context before you use them next time.
My apology, I miss read your statement. And I did use the definition properly, so maybe you miss read what I said. Don't be too proud because you know how to look up words on dictionary.com.
Firstly, I absolutely accept your apology and understand misunderstandings come about often when trying to interpret what someone is saying on a message board.
Secondly, I never said you used the phrase incorrectly. Not only is it a very common, generic and all encompassing phrase which is near impossible to use incorrectly, it is also actually quite easy for someone to use almost any common phrase without knowing the literal meaning and history of it. What I did was imply that if you had truly thought I had mixed up the words, then you clearly didn't know the definition of the words within, and context of, the said phrase.
Thirdly, believe it or not, most people with any sort of argiculture background or atleast half an education, myself included, don't need a dictionary or a website to know what "reap" and "sow" mean.
Lastly, it's misread, not "miss read." Miss Read is the pen name of an English novelist I've never heard of before. And that I did have to look up.
Goodnight, good luck and if I never come across you again on the MGoBoard, have a great life.
You spelled agricultural wrong.
Not like Urbz needs a running back anyway.
Don't blow your opportunities, kid. (The same for Toussaint. Fair is fair.)
From the brief details of the article it was a "Failure to control vehicle," which unless it is in conjunction with an accident likely won't come to anything. If it weren't an athlete, it wouldn't have been reported.
OSU players will not allow Michigan players to get arrested more than OSU players. It's OSU's competitive spirit at work.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but a failure to control doesn't sound like something that would get you arrested.
Unless he was suspected to be drunk. Perhaps he refused a DUI test, which is an automatic arrest every time.
The car thing is from a while ago. The arrest people are talking about now supposedly happened over the weekend. They are different stories. Unless I'm the confused one?
Well, if the status of that case really is arrested, maybe he failed to follow court orders of some sort? Though, for traffic issues that don't involve alcohol, that usually just results in a suspended license, as far as I am aware.
Everyone fails to control their vehicles.
So if this is serious, does that put Green back on Ohio's board?
Maybe, but I doubt it puts Ohio back on Green's board.
I see what you did there. Good Job.
Unless he was drunk, I don't forsee serious consequences. Most likely, he was probably going too fast and lost control, leading to a simple criminal traffic case.

Those near glass sheds should not try to catch the stones thrown from withing those glass sheds, because soon your hands will be too full to catch more stones.
Yes?
I got one of those tickets for sliding off the road going 20 during a snowstorm and damaging my bumper. Didn't damage public or private property and found out later on that I shouldn't have called police to the scene because the insurance company didn't need a report. Anytime you cross the outer lines on the road you fail to control in the great state of Ohio. This could be literally nothing.
So you were arrested too? If not, then apples to oranges.
An arrest is only as meaningul as the charges that come after. Overzealous police officers do exist.
This is just a traffic ticket, and really isn't any big deal. Plenty of adults make this mistake every day, and it usually doesn't reflect on their character. Nowadays, police are pretty much required to give at least one ticket in any accident, to produce revenue and recoup the costs of sending them there.
That being said, anything that turns up the heat on Urban Meyer is great. I know it's mean-spirited, but I want to see Meyer fail at Ohio. Because they got off so easily for ten years of cheating under Tressel, it would be great if the dominos fall in a direction that causes Ohio at least five years of misery.
You don't get arrested for just sliding off the road in bad weather. How difficult is it to see the difference?
To be fair, whenever youre being issued a driving citation, you're under arrest - which means simply 'to stop'. Try to walk away from being issued a driving ticket and you'll receive a 'resisting arrest' count added on.
Eleven warriors has an update on their front page that says there was a new arrest this weekend and it's not referring to the failure to control. And a commenter says that Bucknuts is hearing it's marijuana possession. Obviously nothing legit yet, though.
Urban's got this guy on speed dial.
FWIW, 11W and Bucknuts are working on the assumption that it's weed related.
Arrested in June AND yesterday in his hometown according to this article:
http://cleveland.sbnation.com/2012/7/29/3200732/ohio-state-buckeyes-fre…
Some posts have had the facts as presented so far, incorrect. Alliance police reportedly making a statement tomorrow morning at 9.
As a side note, given all the marijuana-related arrested among football players of late, it's baffling how often these guys are getting caught and cited. I know plenty of lifelong weed smokers, and absolutely none of them has ever been cited. On the few occasions in which they've come in contact with cops, the cops have issued nothing more than warnings. Yet these young athletes get written up all the time. I can't help wondering whether that's because cops are more inclined to pull over guys who fit a certain profile.
It doesn't get you pulled over in AA. I've always wondered why that is?
It really, really does
