ODU bball player arrested minutes before tipoff

[utvolpj]

Two Virginia Beach detectives went to ODU, consulted with campus police and arrested Bazemore minutes before the tipoff of a game that ODU ultimately lost.

some really interesting pieces to this story. First is that ODU had no idea he got the DUI in the first place. Not sure how that happens. Next is that he is a criminal justice major about to graduate. Also in there is that police needed tips to figure out where he would be. Never mind that he's playing multiple games on campus during the season.

However after all that I find the quote from his attorney the most interesting part

He also stressed he does not officially represent ODU, although he has represented players on traffic matters.
"Nobody pays me; I do it for free," Decker said. "I'm more of a fan and a friend. I'm not doing it for anything in return."

And then we start the backpedal...

Selig, however, said later Thursday he spoke with Decker and Bazemore to "ensure there was compensation" for the lawyer's work.

Good ole Petey Decker III, probably should've thought that one through a little bit more.
