Shugarts' case dismissed (Blogging the Buckeyes)

Quote:

The possession of drug paraphernalia charge against offensive lineman J.B. Shugarts was dismissed this morning in Franklin County Municipal Court.

Shugarts and teammate Mike Adams both faced the charge after a Jan. 14 traffic stop, in which a pipe was found in the car Adams was driving. Adams' charge was dismissed last Monday.

According to attorney Garth Cox, both players were tested for drugs immediately after the citation and the results were negative. The reason for the delay between the incident and the dismissals was the prosecutors were waiting for lab results from testing the pipe.

When those results came back negative for drugs, there was no reason to continue the cases.

Agree............Unless they broke an OSU rule or a Tressel rule.

If you are expecting a suspension or severe punishment........think again.......at most some extra work..........

rationally:

much to do about unknowns in a six week time warp...not much known other than a Jan 14 summary report & couple test results.

emotionally:

mucho feelings about whatever; rep, rep, rep

avoiding the obvious:

continuing drug issues, the degree, breadth & depth of which we ... also don't know, but are best at avoiding and minimizing.

We probably won't hear anything else about this issue. Nothing illegal happened so there's no need for suspension or further comment from Tressel. At worst he would have them run a couple extra laps.
