Clarett Arrested; Police Find Arsenal Of Weapons Inside SUV
Officers Use Mace, Taser Gun To Subdue Ex-Buckeye Player

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Police said they used Mace and a Taser gun to arrest former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett Wednesday morning after they found an arsenal of weapons inside an SUV he was driving.

Clarett was taken into custody at about 3 a.m. in a restaurant's parking lot off Brice Road following a brief chase, NBC 4's David Wayne reported.

Police said they spotted an SUV that was driving erratically along Brice Road and then followed it as it drove onto Interstate 70, Wayne reported.

The SUV was then seen making a U-turn along the interstate. Officers placed stop-sticks on the road but the SUV continued driving and exited along Brice Road, Wayne reported.

Despite a flat tire, the vehicle then struck a police cruiser in a the parking lot of a Tee Jaye's Country Place restaurant, located at 2435 Brice Rd., where Clarett was taken into custody, Wayne reported.

"I saw the car come over here in the Tee Jaye's lot and actually bump into the cruiser," said a witness who requested anonymity. "He didn't want to stop."

"(Clarett) was resisting to the point that they felt it was necessary to try to use a Taser," said Columbus police Sgt. Mike Woods. "He had a bulletproof vest on and the Tasers would not penetrate that, so they used Mace. It took several officers to get his arms behind his back and get him under control and handcuffed."

[OWUeagleMD]

He's a fool. Wow.. almost as bad a Marcus Vick

Ummm, this is about 100 times worse than anything Marcus Vick has ever done.

Not to mention he is about to stand trial for armed robbery.

[JoeSkins]

Mike and Mike in the Morning said he was training for his tryout with the Bengals. :laugh:

[coldpacker]

its crazy what kind of wild road this clarette guy is taking ever since college. I didn't really pay attention to football or college football 3 years ago. But i do remember hearing a story about a college kid suing the NFL b/c he wanted to enter the draft at a younger age than prohibited. I guess that shows u how much publicity it got.

Makes me wonder what kind of stuff he's gotten into. I can understand carrying a hand gun in your car, but an AK-47 too??? Thats some kind of protection. Along w/ a bulletproof vest... I wonder if he was just using that as a fashion statement a la 50 cent.:silly:

[poidog22]

I heard about this on the radio this morning.

At first I was thinking, "You've gotta be kidding me." Then I remembered who they were talking about. It's sad to see the fall from grace that this guy's had, but he did bring it all on himself...guess you do reap what you sow.

[tr1]

You actually made your screen name 35-7? Wow, that says alot. :cool:

It's an excellent screen name! It got your attention instantly.

[tr1]

With new anti-terrorism laws in place, this guy is gonna be in the big house for a very long time.

Incredible idiot.

[dreamshatterer]

What an idiot. Handguns, an AK-47, and wearing a bullet proof vest. WTF was this idiot thinking.

[jaxskins]

He definetly is the poster child for all kids to stay in school I hope. I'm sure we will see a book by him one day.

"Why I shoulda Staed in scool"

[bulldog]

Clarett was bad news from Day 1. His behavior at Ohio State indicated he was a radioactive personality and was on course to 'crash and burn.'

I was shocked that Mike Shanahan would waste a #3 pick on a player that was 30 pounds overweight and who showed absolutely no commitment to becoming a productive NFL player.

[SkinsD]

I would really like to know what the heck he was doing with all that gear...

[Rdskn4Lyf21]

Clarrett is a ****ing moron... he had so much in front of him, such a good life and hes gone and ****ed it up over and over again.....

Thats sad.

[Chachie]

What an idiot. Handguns, an AK-47, and wearing a bullet proof vest. WTF was this idiot thinking.

I'd say he was on his way to a robbery. Seriously.

[ouvan59]

I'd say he was on his way to a robbery. Seriously.

No kidding. The only other plausible explanation is he was going on a huge drug buy.


Maybe he can room with Art Schlichter in the big house.

[Taylor 36]

I hope that they make an example out of him to kids. There are too many kids nowadays that think if they are an athlete they can do whatever they want and get away with it, and unfortunately, more often than not, that is the case. I hope that if one good thing can come out of this it is that kids realize that even athletes have to follow the rules, and that they are much better off staying in school and getting an education, even if theydo have a lot of God given talent.

[WeownU]

It's an excellent screen name! It got your attention instantly.

Yeah, I was thinking about changing mine to .... 73-0

Worst beating in the history of the NFL. Bears vs Skins

I know it is hard for you to let it go because of how rediculous and invalid your user name now is, but for the love of Pete, you need to move on. Go get a puppy or something.

[arrowhead]

In a way, "Thirtyfive2seven" is another way of saying "WeOwnU", but more relevant to recent history and the fanbase for which this site was designed. Get back on topic and quit trolling, you'll like your reflection in the mirror a little more.

A closet bears fan, I knew it!

If you don't want to go back 70 years for a catchy score, try looking under you screen name. There are 2 right there.

[JetSkins]

what was he doing with all those guns and a bullet proof vest? is he 50 cent now?

[seanyt]

He definetly is the poster child for all kids to stay in school I hope. I'm sure we will see a book by him one day.

Maurice Clarett
Man I was thinking the same thing. First thought he was an idiot to leave school (Ohio St.) on his little protest mission, come on get your damn education on that free ride ya moron. I was then pulling for him when he had his tryout with the Broncos, I remember hearing analysts talking about how he didn't stay in football shape, and look at him now... :doh:

[Warhead36]

What a waste of talent... :doh:

Maurice Clarrett, spurned by the NFL, gained employment from Avon Barksdale and began fighting for his corners with Marlo.

[The Animal Trainer]

Wow. Have you guys seen the Chapelle's Show Episode where they do the skit, "When Keeping It Real Goes Wrong"...That sounds like it came straight out of that show. At some point Clarett just said to himself, "F the NFL, F getting a real job, F everybody, I'm going to be a Gangsta". And that's where its gotten him. There are ways to make money by doing things that are illegal, plenty of people make more than enough money to get by off the black market...then there's guys like Clarett who take it to another level, buy some guns and say "F the world, I'm ready to die, Get Rich or Die Trying" And that's why the prisons are overcrowded. Maurice has been listening to too much 50 Cent.

[EnFoRcEr_uPu]

Not that I'm sticking up for the guy, but I don't know how much of this I can believe until they come out with some sort of motive. It's easy to just say he had a load of guns and make up a few things. I think I'll wait to hear the whole deal first.

Ok, I guess he was just going hunting. Let's see, is it deer season? no. Turkey? no. Hmmmm....

Fact: They tried to pull him over for driving erraticly and he turns into Luke Duke, even goes as far as ramming a squad car.

Fact: He resists arrest to the point that they have to taser him, and the stun gun doesn't work becasue of his bullet proof vest, so they have to mace him.

Even if that's all you believe he's still going to jail for a long time. I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the "arsenal" in his car were not all legal and registered. Seemed like an informative article to me. He also robbed 2 people at gun point about 6 months ago, so I'm going to jump to conclusions here and call Clarett a stupid, classless, thug, with no respect for anyone or anything.

I heard they found 1/2 a bottle of Vodka too. Wonder if the other 1/2 was in him. Haven't heard about any DUI.

Oh yeah, I'm sure Clarett had a permit for the handguns. He seems like the paperwork type. :laugh: As for the assault rifle, if it was in fact an AK, that's also illegal since they don't come built with the legalizing restrictions that other post-ban assault rifles are built with. There doesn't seem to be anything more to this deal, so I don't know what's to wait for.

Anyway, I checked out the video of it on CBS Sportsline, and the commercial they put in front of it is of a guy robbing a bank and then going on a tirade. It's for their show "Criminal Minds". I enjoyed the irony. :D

X2

He tried to parlay one good college year into NFL stardom. The people on this message board know more and care more about football than Clarrett. He's a dumb ***** thug and a proven menace. F'em! :mad:

[Monkart]

Ok, I guess he was just going hunting. Let's see, is it deer season? no. Turkey? no. Hmmmm....

I'm thinking he thought it was Ohio State Administration season. :doh:
:obvious:

[LarryBrownsFan]

There's at least one other possible explanation, although it doesn't really help him any. He could have been in danger from other thugs, related to illegal activities, and this is how he protects himself.

I say "related to illegal activities" in this scenario, because otherwise he could have gone to the authorities.

[brooksfb]

Not that I'm sticking up for the guy, but I don't know how much of this I can believe until they come out with some sort of motive.

ESPN just reported that he was picked up not too far from the residence of one of the witness' against him in his upcoming robbery trial. That doesn't prove anything but, it doesn't look good either.

[jrockster21]

Clarett -- worst draft pick ever. Pathetic.

Exactly. I have no idea how this assclown is still around. 100% troll. Bringing up an obscure Bears vs. Skins score in defense of the Cowgirls' ass-whoopin last year?? TROLL.

[The-Rock]

Man Clarett is the biggest waste of talent ever...if he had just stayed at Ohio State and continued to develop....ugh.

He also ruined Mike Williams' career. :doh:

He supposedly was a block away from the main witness against him when the chase started.

To make things more bizarre he also called several people (Tom Friend, Jim Tressel, Labron James) earlier in the evening to say thanks. I don't know how many of you saw Tom Friend on ESPN this morning but it sounded like he was saying his good-byes.

Certainly adds a lot more credibility though.

[KSUskinfan]

Clarett is still destined to be a star running back (on a prison league).

I don't like the guy, but it is still saddening to hear how far Maurice has sunken. Wasn't he drafted in the 3rd round by the Broncos last year, then showed up to camp overweight and slow? When he was cut, it was the beginning of the end.

Depressing story. :(

I heard last night that during camp last year he demanded the Broncos fire their strength coach because he yelled at Clarett. When they refused he demanded a trade.

This is sad and bizarre... :(

This stuff was in his car.
