OT: NYT Reports - For FSU Player, Hit-and-Run Becomes Traffic Ticket

Submitted by ChalmersE on

At least this time, it's not Jameis Winston -- just starting cornerback, PJ Williams. Two cars totaled on 10/5 and Williams, driving on a suspended license, flees into the darkness although he comes back later.  Also in the car: another FSU cornerback.

Police did not test for alcohol, etc.  Campus police intruded even though not in their jurisdiction.

just continues to grow and grow there is CLEARLY a atmosphere and enviroment of win at all costs and cover up anything athlete related. It kinda represents everything that is wrong about college athletics

The Times reported that -- while the case was initially investigated as a hit-and-run accident -- Williams was given only two traffic tickets totaling $392 in fines, which later didn't even show up in the Tallahassee Police Department's public online database because of a "technical glitch," according to police. The fines remain unpaid and Williams' license remains suspended, the paper reported.
Wow. I love when "technical glitches" get me out of tickets. Oh wait...
