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.

Is AIRBHG looking to expand?
While trolling 11Warriors, I was reading about Dunn's arrest. It appears that there was a passenger in the car with Dunn. Don't be surprised if the passenger claims that the pipe was his, absolving Dunn of any guilt.
Not if Urban Meyer were the passenger. Or should I say Herbin Meyer.
If Dunn had signed on at Michigan, he would have had his seat belt on waiting for a new recruit and none of this would have happened.
I'm really curious on how this went from a seat belt violation to a car search for drugs. Did Dunn and co. have the pipe out when the cop walked up, were they smoking immediately before they got pulled over, or did the cop just decide that it's been too long since he last conducted a random car search.
Mike Adams was cited for similar charges in 2009 and was suspended for 2 games. I'm expecting a similar punishment for Dunn. Adams was also later found innocent of all charges due to providing a clean drug test to the court and lack of evidence.
Not arrested, according to the Canton newspaper. Seatbelt violation and drug paraphernalia, both misdemeanors. http://www.cantonrep.com/news/x521644618/Brionte-Dunn-found-with-drug-paraphernalia-during-traffic-stop
A seatbelt violation is a misdemeanor? Is that typical or only in that post apocalyptic state?
THis is sort of whatever unless his next drug test comes up completely clean, in which case it's like, "So you had the bong and the lighter, but smoked no bowls? Right..."
You think someone would do that? Just lie on the internet like that?
The significance of the less than 200 grams was that keeps Dunn from being charged with felony. It could have been written better as when I first read it, I thought it read with the meaning close to 200 grams. But I'm not sure it's that far from the truth though.
If it was a small amount of marijuana (less than 100 grams), it probably would have been indicated that way as that is a different charge. And the fact they don't include the actual amount makes me think they were cutting the kid a break. Based on the way it is written and the laws, the logical conclusion is that he was holding 100-200 grams of marijuana with it probably being closer to the higher end or he probably would have been hit with a lower charge.
When you take into account his prior driving record reported yesterday, the fact he avoided any charges like DUI or reckless driving leads you to believe the police were taking it easy on him. He almost ran a red light and hit a police cruiser while not wearing a seat belt with drugs in the car. If that is the case, it wouldn't surprise me if they underreported the amount of marijuana he was carrying as well.
The weed matches the stupid stickers they put on their sparkly helmets.
I have always said they look just like weed and not buckeyes. I wonder how many helmet stickers Dunn will get for this weed possession incident.
One has 5, the other 7 leaves. I think you are seeing what you want to believe.
It's amazing how many times I saw the misuse of the words "your" and "you're" in the comments section on 11 Warriors.
