Maurice Clarett is a wanted man

Recommended Posts

This was just reported on SportsCenter and there's no link to an article yet. Clarett has a warrant out for his arrest after holding up two men at gun point in an alley last night.

He certainly hit rock bottom faster than expected.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Former Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett was accused of using a gun to rob two people in an alley behind a bar early Sunday, police said.

Clarett, 22, who helped the Buckeyes win the national championship in 2002, fled when the bar owner or manager, who knew Clarett and the victims, came into the alley and identified him shortly before 2 a.m.

 

According to police, Clarett left the scene in a white sport utility vehicle with two other men and got only a cell phone from his alleged victims, who weren't injured. He was wanted on two counts of suspicion of aggravated robbery.

 

Clarett sat out the 2003 season after he was charged with misdemeanor falsification for filing a police report claiming that more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment was stolen from a car he borrowed from a local dealership. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.

 

Ohio State suspended Clarett for misleading investigators, and for receiving special benefits worth thousands of dollars from a family friend.

 

He later began an unsuccessful legal fight that went to the U.S. Supreme Court to be allowed in the NFL early. Clarett was chosen by the Denver Broncos in last year's draft, but the team cut him in August.

I saw the line about a white truck and I'm suddenly remembering a pickup football game gone wrong. Was that Lawrence Philips or Maurice Clarett that tried to run over a bunch of people with an SUV?
