Callaway cited for pot

[Lake Gator]

Probably Nav.

He is a well known pot dealer, and, likely, a child molestor.

 

[Left Coast Gator]

At this point I say we just cut him loose. He is a good player but we have other good players and do not need him. He is an embarrassment for the team and the school.

I'm 53. Well beyond the street vendor age. And I would call my past more striped than checkered.

 

[Concrete Helmet]

Not even close. He would first have to take a banned substance and get caught by the NCAA and get suspended then coach would have to help him try to get the suspension dropped or reduced and then his daddy would need to bring his arrogant ass (doubt he is anything like daddy Grier) and then the coach would have to make the decision on whether or not to allow a parent to dictate his team and its management and then when he decides to tell the family that nothing is written in stone he would then assist the player in moving along if that is his wish. You know, just like he did for ped boy.

Or more likely he could sh!tcan the best player on the team........AGAIN... so that he would have a good job connection and not get questioned by the press and fans as to why the best player isn't starting after forgetting to tell Calloway that pot is illegal......Oh, wait.....I forgot Calloway's dad isn't a pro coach...

I thought he was on triple secret probation for helping Treoff with his last sexual assault?

Cut him loose? For this? C'mon man! It isn't like the dude raped or killed someone...he got popped for green. I bet 80% of the team smokes... you want to boot them too?

At your age, your drawers are probably striped and checkered.

Shhhhhh....

GPD seems drawn to stop African Americans who drive or ride around in expensive cars after midnight. I am reminded of Louis Murphy's trip back to Givlle in an expensive vehicle or limo when they were stopped on some ticky tac violation and he was busted for Viagra late at night..

I love the officer could see they had no seat belts on at night. Not saying it's impossible if they were moving all over the vehicle or he saw them get in and take off without buckling up, but c'mon. I am not a fan of fake reasons to stop a vehicle unless you are more sure you will find something major, than merely doing a fishing expedition.

Yes. I'm sure GPD with an AA chief is going to pull people over in the liberal bastion of gainesville/alachua county because they are black.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Cmon guys. Who hasn't ridden around with a guy twice his age while having a few grams of weed in their pants?

Especially when the van says "free candy."

 

[Durty South Swamp]

I'm white and have been pulled down there several times over the years for bull$hit. They do it to everyone it's just blown out of proportion when it's a "high profile" individual. The cops down there are a$$holes and are looking for any excuse to mess with you!

I gotta agree. I had a cobra that I had done a good amount of engine work to during my time in gville. I got yanked constantly, even sometimes when driving BELOW the speed limit. Was so bad at one point that I actually asked a cop one time if I had done something that was causing the repeated harassment. He told me to sell the cobra and buy a Tercel...

Yeah...I have my car sitting on 28's with a hydro blue candy paint job and they pull me damn near everytime I go. I guess having a nice ride is "probable cause" in the Ville! Smh!!!!

I got a 2016 camaro on 28's....so neither! ;)

I just looked up the citation. They were stopped at 100 SW First Street at 12:40 AM. This is next to a parking lot in the downtown bar area. Specifically, they were across the street from Loosey's which used to be Market Street.

The Venue is a club about a block from this spot and despite having metal detectors at the doors there have been a few shooting incidents recently. One of the shooting incidents in the club involved a rapper that was booked to perform at the club getting into a shootout with some rivals.

At the other end of the parking lot where Callaway was stopped is a parking garage. In Gainesville it is known as the death garage because 3 people have been murdered in that garage since it was built a decade or so ago.

The area is also known for the large number of homeless individuals that prowl around looking for handouts and possibly easy targets.

This is not an area where the college kids hang out. This is an area where it is mostly an older, local crowd mixed with individuals that drive in from the small towns surrounding Gainesville. Most people I know avoid the area specifically because of the fights, crime, homeless people and type of crowd that clubs like Venue attract.

The police patrol the area heavily. There are police in vehicles, on foot and also on horseback. If you are getting in a car and attempting to drive at 12:40 AM it is going to draw attention from any officers nearby.

The other passenger in the vehicle that was cited was Kendrick Lamount Williams. Mr. Williams was born in 1976. Judging from his priors, he is well known by the local law enforcement community. From the list of charges filed against Mr. Williams, a reasonable person might deduce that he may be a drug dealer and possibly involved with prostitution. I am sure that Mr. Williams would have the full attention of any officer that happened to notice him in the immediate area.

Here is a list of the previous charges that have been filed against Mr. Williams:

He is just trying to mentor some of the players.

Re: the homeless people part. They are WAY more likely to be the victims than perpetrators. There is a lot of hate directed at them, and as they have no power to speak of, they make great targets for people who just want to batter someone for sport.

I worked at the downtown library for several years and when I came in the back, different ones would be rolling up their sleeping bags or whatever they had, sometimes having a smoke on the back porch picnic table. I usually sat down and chatted with whomever was around.until it was time to go in. Treating people as human beings deserving of dignity goes a long way. At one point in time, people who couldn't care for themselves were being released by the state from MacClenny mental health facility. They end up on the street. Ex vets with PTSD who feel safer outside and come back from war zones to find people are way more gung ho about supporting their efforts before but want to forget them when they come back damaged, people with chronic health issues out of work with medical expenses consuming what they had, and though they weren't out in the park, the much larger percentage are families and women with children And I don't mean drug addict alcoholics either. Families, good people. Also at one point, the funding for either the state funded schizophrenic halfway house housing or the medications was disappeared, and they were left to end up on the street or in jjail without housing or meds, whichever it was, and the slashing of care for mentally challenged also puts people out who are easy to victimize.

The homeless population is primarily not violent. The fear and prejudice and disrespect toward them is amazing and widespread, at least around Gainesville.

I didn't mean to stereotype a population. I was speaking specifically about the homeless that prowl that particular area late at night. I have a friend that owns a bar in that area. On two separate occasions two different homeless men have entered the establishment aggressively asking the patrons for money. On both occasions when they were asked to leave they pulled knives. There is a crime problem with aggressive homeless people in that particular area.

I agree that all people, including the homeless, should be treated with dignity and respect. Over the years I have been a supporter of the St. Francis house through donations. I understand and support your view of the disenfranchised.

However, those who espouse that there are no violent or aggressive criminals among the homeless, risk losing credibility.

 

[Jenny On The Railroad]

I really appreciate your information and research, Gator2222.

Re the homeless people part though-

I feel I need to say they are WAY more likely to be the victims than perpetrators. There is a lot of hate directed at them, and as they have no power to speak of, they make great targets for people who just want to batter, kill, or rape someone for sport.

I worked at the downtown library for several years and when I came in the back, different ones would be in the park, rolling up their sleeping bags or whatever they had, sometimes having a smoke on the back porch picnic table. I usually sat down and chatted with whoever was around.until it was time to go in. Treating people as human beings deserving of dignity goes a long way. By the way, no one asked me for any money either or ran up and stole my backpack or guitar or purse...

At one point in time ( late 90s), people who couldn't care for themselves and were long term care patients were being released by the state from MacClenny mental health facility either to cut costs or make room for more patients. - I can't remember which. They had nowhere to go and were projected to end up on the street. Homeless people are a mixture- ex vets with PTSD, who aren't functioning or feel safer outside and come back damaged from war zones to find the rah rah rhetoric about support doesn't extend to the return to the States, people with chronic health issues out of work with medical expenses consuming what they had, and though they weren't out in the park, the much larger percentage are families and women with children.

I was surprised at the percentage of families because you don't see them around. And I don't mean drug addict alcoholics either. Families who are like your neighbors if they still had money...

Also at one point, the funding for either the state funded schizophrenic halfway house housing or their medications was disappeared, and they were left to end up on the street or in jail,, and then the slashing of care for mentally challenged also put some people out who are easy to victimize.These 2, I think were in the early 2000's.

The homeless population is primarily not violent. They've suffered huge losses. Being without a home is itself very traumatic. The fear and prejudice and disrespect toward them is amazing and widespread. Lots of people don't want to have to see that they exist. They are considered eye sores, blights on the urban landscape.

So many religious organizations will go half way around the world to set up missions for people in similar circumstances of life. Danny Weurffel is a huge exception in that he chose to put his efforts into people and places in our own country. Another outstanding human being I am proud to call a Gator.
