Treon's days may be numbered - now cited with driving w/o license

[BoomTown]

Officers smelled marijuana and found two small bags of the drug in a storage pocket of the vehicle, Barber said. No charges were filed because none of the players was in possession of marijuana and the car did not belong to them.
"They did not determine nor did anyone admit to the possession of the marijuana itself," Barber said.

So the key is to drive somebody else's car and not put it on your person? Why the Hell haven't they been teaching this at Freshman Orientation?

Explain it to me again. How is this accused rapist and out of control thug who has weed but no driver's license different from born again Christian, Famous Jameis?

 

[MidwestChomp]

So Driskel gets the start?

Isn't this Tabor's 2nd brush with weed? I can't say Harris has character issues. He may, but he may just be naive too. From everything that came out about the rape allegation is that she didn't like being a one night stand. There is a scenario where he is stuck driving because his two teammates were high and couldn't drive. Very little info is out.

All 3 are freaking dumb... if this happened at clown U we'd all be saying they are mucking forons. Same goes here. Idiots.

I would guess so. I really don't even care one bit about that bowl game. I have moved on from the dumpster fire.

If this was happening there we wouldn't hear about until months later after their athletic department had a chance to look over the charges and notify involved parties to get their stories straight

Not a great way to impress the new HBC, especially when he already has doubts.

Depends where you are at I guess. Where I am in Florida the cops will charge everyone in the vehicle if no one says its their pot even if no one owns the car they are in. The state usually ends up dropping the charge later however.

Your privileged upbringing is showing.

It doesn't cost much to get a license or it didn't years ago when I got one. No excuse not to get tested by 18 imo. A few weeks at a part time job would pay for it.

matt m would disagree...

Few weeks? A florida drivers license costs like 20 bucks.

 

[Gator Fever]

The dumbest thing done here was speeding knowing you don't have a license and pot is in the car. We used to have a Judge that loved to mess with defendants about that before he announced their sentence. He would basically say why in the hell would you be speeding (or other traffic infraction) knowing you are driving without a license. They didn't know what to say then usually or would apologize for driving with no license and then the Judge would repeat himself saying why would you speed etc. knowing you don't have a license.

Its that cheap to do the whole process now?

lincense is pretty cheap, but if you own a car the registration has jumped up the last few years.

 

[CGgater]

From a production standpoint, I don't think it's fair to judge any offensive player during their time under champ's "tutelage" (answering KC's original point of Treon's mediocre stats). With this latest development, I'm really hoping Grier is ready to earn the starting QB spot and dominate in 2015.

 

[Durty South Swamp]

Yeah, has been for years. Mine's 30 but thats b/c i have a motorcycle stamp on it as well (freaking govt). As far as a "process" there really isn't one. You go take the written and driving test and if you pass, you get your license. It doesn't cost to do the test, just to get the license. Now if you want to have the driving portion waved, you need a driving school cert saying you are qualified and those classes cost money (but reduce initial insurance costs) but they aren't required. You just have to do a written and a driving test if you dont have a cert.

Harris was stopped by UPD on Dec. 13 at 11:29 p.m. for going 30 miles per hour (10 mph over the speed limit) on Stadium Road, according to UPD.

If it were 3 white males in the car, do you think they would have been stopped? I would have no problem if they were pulled over going 15+ mph over the speed limit, but their speed at 11:29pm wasn't an immediate danger.

Oh please. Let's not turn this into a racial thing. He was driving without a license - and was even dumb enough to be speeding while he was doing it.

Not trying to be a "troll," but it would be naive to ignore the elephant in the room. Am I saying they were definitely pulled over b/c of their race? OF COURSE NOT. Am I saying it is possible they were pulled over because of their race? DEFINITELY. Just look at the recent protests . . .
Anyways to get this post back on track - I do agree with you that Treon should not have been driving in the first place. Whether he is convicted or not, he and the other players should be disciplined.
