Former OSU QB arrested again

Man - this guy never seems to hit rock bottom - despite appearing to many times.

Saw the story and once I read where it was - there was no doubt it was drug related. My old job kept me in this part of town daily - actually didn’t mind it too much - but never went there between hours 6pm till 7am either. Super sketch neighborhood and you knew the residents vs people “visiting” instantly.

A 60 year old white dude driving through Linden early AM would scream out for a traffic stop I would think to local PD. You know he’s either got drugs or a prostitute (or both) in the car with him at that time of morning.

Of course he is certainly not the first big name athlete to get caught down there - but at this point no one is throwing any life preservers to this guy and keeping the story out of the paper.

Looks like he just gave up on life and doesn't value his life anymore.

We don't know, we cannot tell.

But if someone here suffers from any drugs.. guys, please never be ashamed to ask for help.

That is some really sad stuff

It really is a sad case - the number of bad checks and scams this guy has pulled - he should have been locked up for good long ago.

Yet everytime he does a few months maybe - probation and then back out there - courtesy of friends of the program he played for long ago. At a point - you just got to recognize a deadbeat and get away from them.

He got away with a lot playing for Woody - frequently found down at Scioto Downs - he was worse than Pete Rose in his playing days.
