Alex Legion arrested

[MacabreMob]

Legion was arrested for driving on a suspended license....but is this as serious as some of the other offenses that we hear about??...
personally, I think not...
Bruce Weber told a local columnist that he will meet with Legion and discuss some possibly form of suspension next season...

At ISU, Brandon Sampay was arrested for driving on a suspended license but it was barely even mentioned, nor was his underage drinking....
the only thing that got reported was the DUI, but only after it was all over the message boards first.

Then at SIU, a couple people have been ticketed for driving on a suspended license (verifiable through online records) including one of their coaches and one of their key players....yet the guy with 3 arrests and driving on a suspended license, never missed a single game at SIU!!

and on top of that, two other players who were on the SIU roster this past season had arrests for underage drinking, including one of the highly touted incoming freshmen who had two such arrests just as the season started...yet nothing was mentioned in the paper at all...and they both played in every single game, so the coaching staff and university must not have thought it was all that serious.

I guess we can thank the hardworking PJS for covering ALL of Bradley's news. At least the PJS is "doing their job", whereas other newspapers in other towns for other schools don't do their jobs (as well).

This really is just pathetic. I went and researched this. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing behind any of this. I found 2 seatbelt tickets. I do not think kids should miss games for that. I would really be interested to see your facts on this other than you just saying that an SIU player had 3 arrests. Making false accusations is a serious matter. Especially when it involves the law.

So your saying his license wasn't suspended? Or it was suspended because he received two seat belt tickets? Either way- if his license was actually suspended, there is no way he should have been driving... simple as that....

Is it a severe violation? Yes... Could it be a lot worse? Yes... He broke the law... how is there nothing behind any of it?

Because it was dropped. It is only listed in the Jackson County as to have happened as an incident. If you look records(like I did.) There is no mention of it. I could not even find anywhere that anyone on the SIU team has a suspended license.

I guess I just don't get how you can be arrested for driving on a suspended license... when the license wasn't suspended.

I don't either but that is probably a good reason why no one was ever charged with driving on a suspended license.

so Alex Legion isn't charged with the offense of driving on a suspended license?

this site says publicly that he has been.............
an arraignment is the process of informing the defendant of the charges against him....
