On the plus side, when Kentucky State quarterback Martez “How You Doin’? James was arrested in front of his coach after making unwanted advances towards a hotel housekeeper just hours before he was supposed to play.
Twenty-two-year-old Martez James was arrested Saturday morning. James has been the starting quarterback all season for the Kentucky State Thorobreds. They were in Chicago to play in the annual “Chicago Classic” college game at Soldier Field, a scholarship fundraising event this year focused on curbing violence.
