B4L- I never said it was the PJS that published the details of the police report. I am not sure anyone here did, did they? It was published by members of the Peoria media, nonetheless.
So posting KW's defense is not necessary, and takes this discussion off topic in a direction I would prefer not to see it go.

This seems to be so far out of character for Will, can only hope it is not as bad as it sounds ,and yes we all make mistakes so lets not crucify him over what appears to be very bad judgement on his part.

Gotcha DC... Not my intent either. Your statement should put an end to any controversy... Thank you! Carry on.

Chico I was not referring to you and the majority of posters on this board but a few posters that rarely or for their first time jump on this board only to cast stones.

you know there may be more than a few basketball games on the line, hopefully WE has some help in his corner and someone really looking after what will help his future. he may have become addicted to pain killers as a result of his injuries. this happens often, do the research. I would rather see him not have a problem, fans should support the team and players, he made a mistake, now learn from it and become a better person. those of you that have never made a mistake, cast the first stone.
Hope to see things work out for ya Will, prayers your way.

As part of The Braves Nation I 100% agree. Its time for us to rally around a wounded member who I'm guessing needs our support. I'm not condoning his behavior but will not cast a stone his way. I'm hoping we will forgive him and try to understand what happened. I'm sure he will not get out easy from this regardless what the story is.

Let us wait until we hear the facts of the case. I remember how Duke's lacrosse team was demonized by the media and faculty before the facts came out.

I don't think this is a he said, she said situation. However, I also don't think it's as illicit as some might imagine.

@KirkWessler: Update: Arrested #BradleyBraves C Will Egolf told cops he purchased Vicodin on street to manage pain in his knees. #mvc http://t.co/OTRJl4Xf

People

He is taking Vicodin for knee pain. People on here are smashing him like he bought 40 kilos of cocaine. Some people are unreal.

**BuBraves55** · 01-01-2013, 11:08 PM

Kirk just said Vicodin. Prescription painkillers can be devastating to get off of hence their high scheduling but when you're coming off a serious injury like Will was I can understand getting used to them if as he was prescribed them and was used to those effects for the pain. I understand its a dangerous but I'm also aware of Will's medical history. That said there's no excuse for buying them from a dealer, on NYE no less. It's just a joke to me that something they prescribe for pain that's KNOWN to be addicting is done so knowing it could lead to a future want and if you do it's as bad as buying meth or heroin.
