Another Illinois Player in Legal Trouble/Illini Gone Wild!

[tornado]

Calvin Brock caught running a red light & driving on a suspended license.
No discussion on any of the 3 different Illinois message boards. Either they get up real late or they don't even know about it yet.
The offense occurred March 24, and Brock appeared in court Friday, and the case was continued until May 1 when Brock is again scheduled to appear in court..
Ilinois has really done a monumental job keeping much of this stuff hush-hush, but matters of public record cannot be hidden.


Here is the data from the Circuit Clerk's web site...you can check it out, too.

Here is the first charge:

(select Traffic on the left, and enter the last name: Brock.....
You can also have some fun and enter McBride, Jamar Smith, even Marcus Arnold & Trent Meacham....all have had various traffic offenses.

Then you can go to the criminal record (select on the left instead of traffic) and you can also check for Jamar and Luther Head, McBride, etc..))

I'll bet all the fines were paid with cashiers checks, money orders, or cash. Hmmmmmmmmmmm, wonder why?

[bert notorius]

Why was his license suspended? Maybe he's just a real bad driver.

[Bravesguy]

This is just astounding.
With all the traffic and legal troubles, wouldn't you think the Illinois coaching
staff would have already checked on whether these guys are properly licensed to drive?
Just who is running the show down there? Is it too hard to ask each scholarship player to show his drivers license
and be sure it's valid, and to have one of the coaching staff check on a few of them every now and then to
make sure they aren't all at booze and drug parties?

The pjstar had it in the paper a few days ago I believe, so I guess it's just that the Tribune is way behind...

It's a well known fact that the Journal Star people frequent Bradleyfans and grab news items.

Ahh, ok, I did not realize that since I am relatively new here.

It turns out there is some good news and bad news for Calvin Brock.
The charges of driving on a suspended license was dropped.

The bad news is that it was dropped because the paperwork was still not completed from the other accident the kid recently had that caused the license to appear suspended in the Champaign police computers.

So the kid must have had another recent accident as well, but the details of that accident are not being released.
It did not occur in Champaign County.

I agree that the Illini are gone wild, and now Michael Jeffrey Jordan, Jr. can be one of 'em!

[bert notorius]

Meanwhile, a charge of driving on a suspended license was dismissed against sophomore guard Calvin Brock, who also was ticketed for disobeying a traffic light on March 24.

Brock's license "shouldn't have been suspended,'' Rietz said, because paperwork from an earlier accident involving Brock had been misplaced. Brock still will face a fine for the traffic charge.

Thr UoI has "gotten" to Rietz....

Let's quit worrying about what's going on with the Illinois players. This is a Bradley board, so we shouldn't be gloating over what is happening elsewhere and hope our guys can avoid such problems.

I thought this was an open forum Chico.

You bully.

Yea... it is ok to talk about the Illini ONLY if it is positive.

Kinda off-topic, but I was wondering if the Illini pulled Trent Meacham's scholarship? I know when he recieved his scholarship after walking-on, he signed a clause that said Illinois had the right to take his scholarship away. Right now I count 13 scholarship players without Meacham, and then 5 walk-ons. Just curious.
