Former WR Jerald Robinson arrested, faces multiple felony charges (CONFIRMED)
Posted by user Rockycapp in another thread, he doesn't have the points to start a new post.
Felony drug possession and felony drug trafficking. The title says presumably since it isn't confirmed in the link that the Jerald Robinson in question is the former Michigan wideout, however circumstantial evidence would suggest it is. Same age, same hometown (Canton, OH), and oh....the Michigan warmups that are acting as a blanket to keep large amounts of weed warm:
Assuming it is the right Jerald Robinson and assuming he is indeed guilty of the charges, here's hoping he can eventually be a positive contributor to society.
Edit: It is indeed the same Jerald Robinson, confirmed by Justin Rogers/Mlive. http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2013/03/ex-michigan_receiver_jerald_ro.html#incart_river
that is sad.
should've started your business up in washington state instead homey.
You gotta keep your weed warm. In before Mod delete
News related to a recent Michigan player, why would it be deleted? Not like it's some completely off-topic post about Lil Wayne.
But it's a bad thread because it's not confirmed that it's the former Wolverine, so it would be completely irrelevant to a UM Sports Blog until confirmed. But I digress. Lil Wayne is also far more known than someone named Jerald Robinson who may or may not have any affiliation with Michigan or anything else for that matter. But hey, I didn't downvote you.
- I think there is enough circumstantial evidence here to presume with near certainty it's the same guy.
- Lil' Wayne has nowhere near the star power of Jerald Robinson (nor any Michigan football player) within the MGoBlog community.
But likewise, I didn't downvote you before your thread was deleted. Respect.
If it turns out that this is an unfortunate mistake we'll make sure the title gets changed and the post gets updated. Until then, though, the stuff reported by the TV station seems to support enough to post on the board as possible. Bad press isn't what gets deleted, it's unsubstantiated rumors or something that ended horribly after a bunch of comments (in regards to M athletes in the news).
But it does sound like the 2010 class is having even more FAIL poured on it.
Go big or go home I suppose. As a side note, I have a feeling that the Ohio State Patrol exercised some artistic liberties when taking that photograph.
That crossed my mind as well. To have the shirt so prominently in the picture, laying just right to see the "Go Blue".....Farva is an OSU fan.
Also, I am betting the highway patrolman was an osu alum/ fan given the fine job he did in capturing the Michigan paraphernalia. Seems a little unnecessary to be broadcasting.
Caught with a pound? That's pretty much guaranteed intent to distribute.
Though his inability to get on the field consistently could indicate that it was for personal use and he was just stocking up on the good stuff in MI, rather than sourcing locally in Ohio.
Especially outside of Michigan.
If you don't know that this is a legal and elected fact, then I don't know what to tell you. Other than: it is.
obviously the police have never been to Stubenville. Everyone there has cateracts and needs medicine.
Its the brownie capital of ohio too. Maybe he is a baker and doesnt like walnuts.
but is the city you're talking about THAT city?
Also, socially accepted capital law or not, it's the state law that matters (usually).
The extra, empty baggies only add to the "accessories", too. Regardless, they will hit him with multiple counts, I'm sure. Best scenario would probably be felony possession, while the worst might be somewhere from 5-8 years or more.
The latter is improbable, but the risk/reward for your pound can't be worth it...especially taking it in transit. Dumb.
In Ohio the charge is trafficking in marijuana. I should know. It's a fifth degree felony.
Hope you get your life turned around.
It isn't April yet is it?
never understood why people would risk so much for an extra $500 bucks a month...unless you are pablo escobar it cant be worth the risk...
he's has a seriously flawed business model if he's only making $500 off a pound. should be able to turn a grand or two off that.
Not that I endorse this behavior in anyway, nor have I, umm, took part in it in anyway....buuuut I can say that there is the potential for a lot more than $500 a month. Keep in mind too, thats straight cash, tax free, and requires a lot less than the 60 hours/week I put into my job now. To 18/19/20 year old, that can be a lot more enticing than working as a cashier or a waiter for $10/hour
$500 bucks $1,000 bucks...what ever.. still not worth spending YEARS of your life in jail for a pair of gucci shoes. Cant imagine he is using this money to send himself through school.
but I think the penalty is just a year max for his amount, and I doubt he gets that.
EDIT: Should clarify: I think there is a fine involved, as well.
lol having weed does not equal years in jail.
Not to nitpick....but Canton is not in Lorain County, where the arrest took place. Other than that, yeah, prob the same Jerald Robinson
Uh, it says Jerald Robinson II of Canton, Ohio.
Speaking of which, what the fuck makes somebody a II as opposed to a Jr.?
I'm pretty sure the difference is the 'II' after the name as opposed to the 'Jr."
Not named after daddy. Named after a grandfather or other prior male progenitor.
My dad is a II, named after his grandfather.
Good one. Another good example: Henry Ford II was name after his grandfather, Henry Ford.
I am responding to what the OP put in his OP.
Same age, arrested in Canton, OH (his hometown),
OP edited for correctness - sorry for the confusion.
Um, yeah, what is this?
It’s a Katchina doll.
What’s that?
The hopi word ‘katsina’ or ‘katchina’ is used in 3 ways. It refers to spirit beings, the mass dancers who impersonate these beings, or the painted wooden figurines, which represent these dancers. The katchina was very important in the religious life of the ancient Pueblo people.
Wow that’s fascinating.
Yeah and you put your weed in there.
I wonder if he can successfully pull off an "I was using it as a sacrament in a religious rite" defense?
Wait until you get home to burn a doobie fergodsakes!!!!
Those loser Ohio cops COULD HAVE removed the Michigan gear from the picture, as they would have any Ohio State gear, but I guess they didn't want to "tamper".
yeah, this one is gonna hit 11W and the rest of the internets really hard. Can't wait...
/s
Well, we'll still always have Casey Anthony looking super sexy in her OSU jersey.
I mean, it's not like he was on the team. It would be 10x worse if he was.
Since when do cops post pictures of evidence (with or without their little logo) for all to see?
Troubling.
Now the DUI, beating regular sized humans, stolen goods crowd... That is a whole different group he unfortunately lumped with now.
And in my state, this wouldn't have been an issue (well, maybe the qty.) so long as I was operating the vehicle sober.
They can pull you over for not having a license plate in the front? That extra plate must cost some extra cash at the Ohio DMV. And how do they prove he intended to sell it rather than smoke it all himself? They just add charges they can't prove so when the plead him down it looks like they are "helping" him. Fact is, regardless of how I feel about it, when those who make/enforce the laws are not well intentioned, better off obeying them.
There needs to be a "costco law" with marijuana. Buying bulk for personal use can really save you money, but if you get caught with it they can slap an intent to distribute. It doesn't even look like that much if that is all of it in the picture.
