Grant Perry Pleads Guilty to Felony Resisting Arrest - Assault Charges Dropped
[I took out my commentary because I'm not going to pretend to know how Harbaugh will handle this situation.]

EDIT: According to the article, he might be put into a diversion program which would set aside the conviction if he follows the rules.
and conclude that Perry punched the cop or otherwise physically assaulted him. What he did was fucking stupid from beginning to end and I wouldn't have been angry if Harbaugh had bounced him off the team, but it's not in the same category of what C'sonte York did.
He'll be on a very short leash and if he doesn't tie his shoes right Harbaugh will be entirely justified in yanking his scholarship.
It's good to remember other incidents from our past:
ANN ARBOR, MICH. ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) _ Michigan quarterback Brian Griese has been arraigned on a felony charge and indefinitely suspended from the team for allegedly smashing a window at a bar.

Yeah, I remember that. I think some believe they will lose some fictional moral high ground vis-a-vis other fan bases. Frankly, I don't care about measuring moral **** sizes.
I trust Harbaugh given his past history on player discipline. From my perspective only, I don't believe this incident warrants kicking Grant Perry off.
Young kid, potentially bright future. The prosecutor knows the arrest went worse than I've read, believes there is a real chance for recidivism, and/or intends to communicate a message. Otherwise the battery charge pleaded should have been sufficient to anchor Perry in a program with expungement as the carrot. Good luck, dude, based on the public information I do believe the plea deal is too tough.

Why would Harbaugh suspend Perry again? He was already suspended and then reinstated. Harbaugh has posssibly figured out it isn't going to happen again.
Probably the dumbest thing Perry did was go to East lansing. There and Columbus are the last 2 places a Michigan athlete should make a scene.
Pleading guilty to a felony is a big deal and hopefully he undertands that. Because if he doesn't play nice they may not remove it from his record when he turns 24.. That's a pretty big hammer.
