"There was a chain of football players, before and after (the individual cases), that were involved in drug trafficking." -Athens County Prosecutor Keller Blackburn, 5/7/14

"The defendant (Tarell Basham) was observed urinating next to an APD cruiser where officers had to step in the defendant's urine into the cruiser. This was on North Court Street next to the diner in plain view of everyone on the sidewalk." -Athens Police officer Neal Dicken, 2/6/16

"Facts are facts and will not disappear on account of your likes." -Jawaharlal Nehru

Not condoning actions at all, that's for sure, but uh students have been urinating by the police cars on the street since at least the 80's. When she was a student, my wife saw 2 girls literally copping a squat (ba dum bum) by police cruisers from her bedroom window on N. College one night.

And agreed CMoney. Myself? Uh I plead the 5th.......

Excuse, No.

Understand... Yes.

You never broke a few laws as a young man?

Agreed. But I don't think there's such a thing as common sense late night on Court Street.

According to Clery Act, on campus crime 2004 compared with 2015.

Offense (2004/2015)
Rapes 19/20
Burglary 21/10
Agg Assaults 1/0
Drug offenses 208/297
Alcohol arrests 261/22
Alcohol offenses referred to judiciaries1062/521

I wonder if the dramatic drop in alcohol arrests and alcohol offenses referred to judiciaries has anything to do with the alcohol policy of probation then suspension/explusion and the reduced enforcement of alcohol violations.
