BREAKING NEWS: CALEB KING (UGA) arrested....

[rjd970]

No offense, but I think a lot of people are seriously underestimating how bad we are and overestimating how bad Georgia was/is. UGA is the best sub-.500 team I've ever seen.

I agree after watching us play this weekend. However the LSU game got me thinking we really weren't as bad as I thought. Obviously, I was mistaken, and probably so were a lot of other people, Richt included.

Here's my hometown paper. And Chapman is the type to sandbag something to benefit something/one he likes. He is a huge UGA fan and got into a strange argument (of his won provoking) with someone wearing a Gators hat at a fair last year.

I've got two questions here since this is an issue related to a no show in court. When was the court date and how long has the warrant been out?

The ESPN article said it was a warrant for a failure to appear in probate court. How does that warrant not pop during their investigation last week. Great timing if you are a Dawg fan. :crazy:

Read the Tribune article above. It was from August 6th. I'm pretty sure they knew who he was and made no effort to pursue. This really looks odd. It will get blamed on slow turning wheels of bureaucracy. But Chapman is known for running a tight ship and that excuse won't fly.

I'll guarantee that it wasn't issued Friday afternoon.

I am just proud that i got to break the story on VN!

 

[Heebs]

Is this really a big deal guys?

Is this really a big deal guys?

It's a big deal for King because his coaches have been all over him about his license situation and failing to appear for a court date is about the most monumentally stupid thing he could have done.

As far as it being a reflection on Richt, I agree that it's no big deal unless there's more to it.

 

[KB5252]

I'll guarantee that it wasn't issued Friday afternoon.

Before or after?

Guys here is an update:

I am fairly certain King will NOT be kicked off the team.

Failure to appear for speeding is BS. This is like the FL player arrested for parking tickets. It is not a large charge.

King did steal a bunch of stuff and try to make money selling it, but none of that will stick because his brother who lives with him took the charges.

And yes, the UGA fans did wait to arrest him until after he beat us.

If his sister was really having a baby he should have gone to the court with the birth certificate...

If he lied to the police about his speeding, maybe he was nervous about going to court.

Outstanding warrant for a traffic ticket is a little different than arrest for drugs, stolen goods, and all of the other business that was posted on VN over the last few days.

But.... Richt is such a good Christian man.

 

[volmanbill]

I don't recall you saying anything about traffic warrants.

But.... Richt is such a good Christian man.

You don't want to go there.
