Sad to see that anyone could go from a sure 1st round draft pick and potential Perennial Pro Bowler, to becoming a bucket of slime. This chump has been given all of the chances in the world, and dumped them away.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Maurice Clarett was arrested early Wednesday after a highway chase that ended with police using Mace on the former Ohio State running back and finding four loaded guns in his sport-utility vehicle, a police spokesman said.

Officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after a stun gun was ineffective because the former Fiesta Bowl star was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, Sgt. Michael Woods said.

"It took several officers to get him handcuffed," Woods said. "Even after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors and being a problem for the officers."

Clarett made an illegal U-turn on the city's east side and failed to stop when officers, in a cruiser with lights flashing, tried to pull him over, Woods said.

Police said they pursued Clarett onto the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70, one of the city's main freeways, when he darted across the median and began heading west. Clarett drove over a spike strip that was placed on the highway, flattening the driver's side tires of the SUV, Woods said. A police helicopter in the area helped track the vehicle.


All he had to do was simply stop after making an illegal U-turn, and accept the penalty, which would have been nothing more than a ticket, and possibly a date in court.

As part of his pre-trial conditions (from his previous armed robbery attempt), he was not allowed to possess firearms, meaning that someone either dropped the ball when it came to confiscating his (formerly) lawfully owned firearms, or those guns were stolen. Either way, he's in BIG trouble.
