Pitt Linebacker Arrested After Traffic Stop Turns Into Police Chase, Weed Baggie Eating Contest – Carl Fleming

If you’re going to get into a bag ‘o’ weed eating contest with the cops, you have to know the rules.

First, if they actually SEE you shove a plastic bag full of a green, leafy substance in your mouth after say, a minor traffic stop in Pittsburgh, they will try to get it back from you.  The contest has started! Driving off and ramming one of their cars will only get them more excited and want to chase you.

Second, if they stick their fingers in your mouth in attempt to retrieve the baggie, and you resist, they will punch you in the gut, likely with one of those baton things you used to see them use on thugs in old movies. There’s an 96.8% chance you’ll cough it up at this point. Just sayin’.

Third, even if you are a linebacker for the University of Pittsburgh, likely the cops will want to arrest you once the weed is out. Struggling will only make things worse.

You can thank Pitt linebacker Carl Fleming for this little tutorial. He now stands charged two counts of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, fleeing or eluding police, drug possession, tampering with evidence and vehicular offenses. Oh, and he’s suspended from the team. Below the “Bag of Weed” song from Family Guy.

Vanderbuilt Football Player Arrested for Robbing Member of Ice Hockey Club of $5000

First off: Vanderbilt sophomore safety Andre Simmons stands accused of felony counts of robbery and burglary. But that’s not the interesting part of the story.

No, the interesting part of the story is about the guy he allegedly robbed, Zachary Abelman, a sophomore forward on the Commodore’s club ice hockey team. You see, Simmons didn’t just try to grab Abelman’s iPod or his laptop. No, the back-up football player stand accused of trying to nab $5000 that Abelman had in a safe in his room.

First off: what college kid has a safe in his room? (Okay, maybe some keep their weed in there, but seriously.) And on top of that, what kid living in a dorm has $5000 in cash in on him? Something smells funny here, but right now Simmons is the only one in trouble after he and a friend allegedly burst into the room with guns, grabbed the cash and then pistol whipped Abelman. Not sure what the plan was at that point, but Simmons buddy took off and left him behind, apparently in an attempt to keep Abelman and friends from chasing him. Instead, when Simmons finally bolted, the mob chased him and eventually cornered him in a parking garage where cops arrested him.

And yes, Simmons is now off the team and unlikely to be asked to join the club hockey team.

#Tulsa Football Star Kicked Off Team After . . . Girlfriend Arrested?

Say what? Why would the University of Tulsa suspend senior Damaris Johnson, the little-known, but dangerous, wide receiver who just happens to be the NCAA all-purpose yardage record holder? And on the eve of their biggest game against top ranked Oklahoma? Because his girlfriend got arrested? Why would that have anything to do . . . oh, it appears that Damaris was given the the “employee discount” at Macy’s because his girlfriend, Chamon Jones, works there.

Well, that doesn’t seem like such a big deal . . . until you learn that he paid $12.91 for merchandise worth $1583.18 on August 20th, and 34-cents for $1238.59 worth of stuff five days later. That seems like a little more than 10% off the retail price to us, but then again we were never very good at math.

The icing on the cake is that Johnson actually used Jones debit card to make the $13.25 “deal.”
