OT: College football crime report - Jan. 15
Here's a roundup of notable arrests and incidents related to college football during the past week. Most of these are not eligible for the Fulmer Cup, but nonetheless might be interesting to you, the informed college football reader. Be warned: Many of these are somewhat grim.
- Jeremy Hill, a highly touted LSU commit, has been charged with sexual assault. Les Miles had no comment.
- Two men arrested in a Houston armed robbery told police they were football players, but their schools say they are no longer on the schools' rosters. Anthony Lewis Jr., of the University of Houston, and Denarius Marshall, of West Texas A&M, are among the five people in custody.
- In odder news, 54-year-old Robert Lance Theoudele, a former University of Washington football player, has been accused giving his teammates' identities multiple times after arrests, a trend that started as far back as 1985.
- Indianapolis police have arrested a suspect in the New Year's Day shooting death of Central Lakes (Minn.) College football player Dominique Corder.
- Former Middle Tennessee State football player Reginald Doucet Jr. was shot and killed by the LAPD on Friday after resisting arrest following a streaking incident.
- Tyeler Cookson, a freshman with the Highland Community College (Kan.) football team, is one of four people accused in the beating death of a Salina, Kan. man.
- A drunken Notre Dame student whose arrest at a tailgate was posted on YouTube has been charged.
- Tyler Thomas, a former Oregon State player who was kicked off the team after resisting arrest while drunk, has joined the Montana State football team.
- The man believed to be behind the street racing death of a 2009 Air Force recruit has pled guilty to charges.
- The man accused of murdering UConn football player Jasper Howard in 2009 has pled no contest to the charges.
- Recent Colorado linebacker Michael Sipili is accused of sexual assault after turning himself into police. Colorado administrators, having learned their lesson from previous incidents involving football players, issued a press release 13 minutes after the arrest.
- Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz found himself in court on Jan. 12, testifying in the trial of former player Cedric Everson, a player accused of a 2007 sex assault.

January 15th, 2011 at 6:42 PM ^

This was oddly and some what disturbidly interesting. Young men certainly make some outladish mistakes. Can really tell a cop with a gun drawn, "but hey I was a college football player...once."

Former Middle Tennessee State football player Reginald Doucet Jr. was shot and killed by the LAPD on Friday after resisting arrest following a streaking incident.The dude is naked, so you can clearly see he doesn't have a gun and you still shoot him? That just makes no sense. Tazer, pepper spray, so many other options there.
January 15th, 2011 at 7:07 PM ^
maybe he his "gun" was cocked and loaded and pointed towards the police
January 15th, 2011 at 7:15 PM ^
He tried to take on the of the officer's guns while fighting them. Don't know if that's really what happened, but we'll never really know, will we? Still, a sad ending to a young kid's life.

I am far too lazy to tackle the chore, but I know there are some dedicated people here who could do it justice...
Since the Fulmer Cup only counts out-of-season arrests and Michigan State (and other) players generally get arrested in-season, a Dantonio Cup is warranted. I'm certain a prison-to-practice run would earn lots of nice extra D-Cup points as well. Any industrious takers...?

For a Saturday evening. This one struck me as very odd and excessive:
Former Middle Tennessee State football player Reginald Doucet Jr. was shot and killed by the LAPD on Friday after resisting arrest following a streaking incident.
I mean, really? Maurice Clarrett was basically armed to take down a small European country and he wasn't even shot at. Although, Mo never tried to steal the officers' guns while he was being detained, so...yea.
Lesson of the day: don't streak in LA then get into a fight with cops and try to steal their weapons.

Rules, rules, rules! Everything's GOTTA have rules.

This is really sad, but also interesting at the same time, especially the tidbit about Kirk Ferentz testifying in court. Thanks for posting this.
