UA's Baron arrested overnight for misdemeanor

[ricky023]

Well this is what I am afraid of CNS making him mad and him jumping up and leaving. I sure hope not he is a great player, I wish he had a great Mind in him. RTR!

Isnt it too late to declare for the draft?

Maybe the cop asked, "Do these pants make my butt look big?" And MB was only trying to spare his feelings.

Yes Sir. I was just hoping he wouldn't pull something like that. You know how kids are today when they get mad. RTR!

Non-event.  It will go away.  Us white people dont understand I think the reprucussions he would have endured with his friends had he outed his cousin.


I say again, it ain't going away. Plus, if he's worried about what his "friends" think, he needs to find some better friends or he's in for a long, hard life. He needs to get beyond the "hood" mentality. I guarantee you, the NFL is watching.

Police say after they learned about Lang's involvement, they gave Barron every opportunity to change his story. The arresting officer says he begged Barron to tell the truth, showed him the law about hindering prosecution and explained he would have to arrest him if Barron continued to cover for his cousin. Police say they even got Barron's mother and grandmother to try and convince him. But Barron refused to admit his cousin was driving the car.

The cop could have easily let it go if he knew the truth.  Sounds like he was more interested in making a point.  Seems senseless on both parts.  I'd bet the charges will be dropped.



Sorry, but I can't feel sorry for a jackass who continues to lie to the police. And no, the charges will not be dropped, he had too many chances to save himself and he refused. You can't fix stupid. I would have done the same thing as the police officer. Plus, Saban is going to eat his a** alive over such stupidity.

 

I don't feel sorry for him in the least, but this was a crap arrest giving the entire situation.  But, yes, I will be surprised if the charge isn't dropped.

Cops have a common sense switch.  Is arresting a guy for covering for his cousin over something that will end up being a ticket for cuz but an arrest for MB worth it?

The call for the abandoned car went out at 5 am and Barron was being charged at 7:30 Am according to the reports. It doesn't sound like any significant time, money, or police energies were wasted on the part of the MPD due to Barron's story and the guilty party did not get away.

No, Barron shouldn't have continued to lie (and maybe he really didn't know his cousin was driving, probably did but who knows? not us...at least not yet), but the cop easily could have let the issue go and simply made his point verbally once he had discovered who was really driving.

Silly thing for MB to do but a crap arrest overall. CNS will handle it, and MB will learn from it and move on. It is hardly an indicator of any bigger problems IMO.

Aight MD I had to give you one on that. You are so right. RTR!

Leaving the scene of an accident is not a "ticket" offense. Its a Class A misdemeanor, the most serious type of misdemeanor in Alabama, punishable by a year in prison. Not exactly the same as a speeding ticket.

If MB's arrest is the worst of this off season for us, I'll take it.  

[ricky023]

Well I guess I have to agree with you Chechem. I hope everybody gets football on their mind not foolishness. RTR!

Was it a single car accident?  Did he just lose control and hit the ditch without impacting any other cars?  I don't know the facts in this situation or how the law applies, but to me if it was a single car accident and no one else was involved, it seems like leaving the scene wouldn't be as big of an issue.  However if other cars where involved it is definitely a serious issue.  I don't know the answer or the law, I'm just asking.

On the other hand, I would like to know why the cousin left.  Was he just scared?  Or did he have some outstanding warrants or other problems?  Or maybe he was DUI?  Or maybe he had some weed in his pocket?  I'm sure he left the scene for a reason.

In any case one thing I am certain of is that CNS will get to the bottom of it, and punish him accordingly.  He doesn't put up with this kind of foolishness.

Definitely agree. We don't need any robbers, woman beaters, or worse.

[SUPERCOACH]

Another question:  how old was this cousin?  If he is 16 and just got his license, maybe he was just scared.  If he was in his 20's and just left the club, then maybe he was DUI.  I guess Sunday morning at 5:00 AM he probably just came from the club that MB mentioned.

This is what we call a teachable moment.  CNS will set him straight, I'm sure.

This is what we call just plain stupid and yeah CNS will set him straight as he should

From the cop in the arrest update I posted:

But during the investigation, police learned Barron's cousin, Jamal Lang, was actually driving the car at the time of the crash. Lang will be issued a citation for leaving the scene of an accident.
