Will Egolf arrested for drug charge...

battlebasset said:
So per the link, here's the charge:

5101110 - POSS AMT CON SUB EXCEPT(A)-(D)

Anybody know what that really means/could mean?

Average prison time for the class 4 felony also varies by region. If a class 4 is the lowest felony charge, time in jail for someone convicted of such a crime might be minimal: possibly 1-4 years at most. Fines may be assessed as well, and these could range from about $10,000-$100,000 US Dollars (USD). Judges often have discretion in determining sentence and may make a punishment lesser or greater depending on how they view the severity of the crime. If class 4 is the lowest felony charge, it’s additionally possible that lawyers may be able to plead down the charge to a misdemeanor... Anyone convicted of a class 4 felony can expect to face jail time, but the amount of time imposed very much depends on jurisdiction. People who are charged with any form of felony need a skillful defense to either beat the charges or to construct a plea bargain that reduces charges.

I'm guessing he's sitting in jail another night because the judge decided he was going to take the day off in order to determine bail. My concern is that WE is now in a situation that he has very little control over. Let's get the facts guys before we jump on any conclusion. One thing my dad told me. When you need a lawyer or doctor get the best because one way or another you're going to pay.

Will get the best even if it sets you back.
 
If this Fletcher Ryan guy was arrested at the same time, by the same officer, for selling and Will was arrested for possessing, you can pretty easily make the assumption that Will purchased something from him.

Again, we should wait for the facts to come out but it's not hard at most bars/parties/etc. (especially on new years in places where college kids will be) to find someone selling a variety of prescription pills. And it's not uncommon for people who want to have a good time without the hangover effect or drunk driving possibility (like an athlete with commitments today) to pop a pill instead to ring in the new year.

42, you are very astute. There indeed is a connection, and it is not good.


(BTW, the other guy's name is Jared Fletcher)

I'm sure you can get a bit of a hangover effect from a pill as well. Plus I wouldn't want to be on the road with someone who's under the influence of drugs either. Someone this morning came very close to hitting me when he swerved right in front of me, almost 10 hours after midnight! Believe me, these type of people are still on the roads right now!
 
I don't know that the charge necessarily means coke- it would be the same charge for a prescription narcotic like Hydrocodone (Vicodin).

ok. Just repeating what I was told by a cop.

The DEA categorizes drugs into 5 major categories. The charges against WE are apparently for having one of the two "most dangerous" drugs, Class I or Class II (or a derivative). Class I drugs have a high abuse and addictive potential and no "known" medicinal use. Some common ones include Cocaine, LSD, Heroin, Opium, and Marijuana. Class II drugs have the same abuse and addictive potential, but have a medical use. These are most commonly opiates such as morphine, morphanone, hydromorphone, codeine, or other trade name pill (lortab/percocet).

Who cares? I really don't care about what happened more than two years ago. The immediate issue right now is WE. If there is a desire by some to discuss JL and DR, please start a new thread.:-x

I agree, but I'm not the one who started the JL discussion. I brought up DR as a response to the poster who did start this. But I agree we should focus on how Geno will handle this situation, but wait for the facts first as well.

This is not a Class 2 drug based on the reported charge...

Probably the lowest class 4 felony charge... See the ramifications in my previous post.

Class II Drug is not the same as Class 2 felony. If he was in possession of Oxycotin or Vicadin, then he was in possession of a Class II drug and could be charged as above.
 
battlebassat - I went to BU during those years as well. Those were fun years and to top it off the 80s before they tighten up the drinking rules around campuses around the nation. Those teams did party up a storm (I have first hand account) but I never saw Hawk or JL out there partying.

I would have rather seen WE with an alcohol violation (I certainly can't throw stones);) than a drug violation.

Hearing this news just makes me so sad. :badgrin: Will has been a model citizen during his tenure at Bradley and should be disciplined according to the athletic code of the university. I don't know the facts but, if he simply had weed in his possession, I believe he should be subject to the 10% minimum rule just as any other athlete would be. I believe this is his first infraction while at BU and, as such, I don't believe Geno should impose a "death penalty" on him by ending his BU career.

He has not exactly been "a model citizen", and it's not his first infraction, it's his first arrest. In this town, if a basketball player get arrested I'd imagine it's got to be for more than his gf's antibiotics.

He's had more than enough chances to get his education and play basketball, and they agree to a code of conduct both by BU and the NCAA, sorry but if you break the rules, you pay the price.

Totally agree!
 
Given the incredible damage drugs of all types (tobacco, alcohol, and other) have had on our society, I will go neo - con and suggest Will be removed from the BU MBB program/scholarship if he is guilty of a drug/alcohol violation.

Zero tolerance should be the norm. It is time to stop coddling young men and women and let them know society has rules and their actions have consequences. We all marvel at how smart todays kids are vs former generations, they know the rules and exactly what they are doing at much younger ages.

It's the way society responds to them 'pushing the envelope' that determines what they will try or think they can get away with.

While there will always be a few very disappointed kids who will pay the price of being immaturely stupid, within a short time college athletics would be drug free.

This would also be consistent with the BU President's emphasis on reigning in underage drinking at BU.

Will hold further comments until the facts are out.
