UA's Baron arrested overnight for misdemeanor

[Marshal Dillon]

You get a "ticket" for DUI, but it's a serious thing.

You also get arrested with that DUI "ticket."

I'm really not trying to be an ass and am still not speaking in defense of Mark Barron as he appears to have known his cousin was at fault.  Again, it is the cop's belief that MB was lying.  We still don't know all the details.  It was reported that MB was arrested for stating repeatedly that someone named "Bull" took his car from the night club.  For all we know, that was a true statement to MB's knowledge.

For instance, I think it will be funny if after the whole story comes out that Barron wasn't lying in his statement, but solely omitting the ending.

Maybe they were all at the club. His friend "Bull" (name according to report) asks to borrow his car for some reason. MB says cool and tosses him the keys and Bull and MB's cousin depart together (maybe with or without MB's knowledge).

Bull and cousin get to their destination. Bull decides to call it a night. Cousin decides he wants to take MB's ride elsewhere or maybe back to the club. Cousin wrecks the car and bolts due to fear of something (DUI, no license, warrants, etc.)

In all likelihood, MB knew it was his cousin that wrecked the car as someone called him about it, but that wasn't his response.  He simply said that Bull had taken the car (which very well could have been true, just not the whole story).  So, when asked who took his car, he continued to say it was Bull and refused to change his story when prompted because it was true.

Is it lying to continue to repeat what you thought to be true in that Bull took your car originally?

This scenario is probably not the case as it is just as feasible to understand why he lied (to protect a family member...right or wrong...it is understandable as to why he may do that).  And even if the lie was through omission as I laid out, it was still wrong and people should just cooperate with the law (who are simply trying to do their jobs as well).

However, I'm just saying (IMO) that with the details presented the arrest was an overreaction by the cop given all the circumstances presented in the initial reports.

Obviously you differ in your opinion and I'm glad you are not a cop in my town.  It would be like that Andy Griffith episode where Barney had half the town locked up... "law and order has been kept in Mayberry this here day."

skip to the 4 minute mark if you don't want to watch it all...one of my favorite episodes.

Some of you guys sound exacly like the Barners, trying to minimize an arrest and making it look foolish or insignificant. Bottom line, being arrested is serious business and means he's doing something he shouldn't be. Do you all find that accepable for Tide athletes?

 

That would be me. I sincerely hope this resolves itself and all MB is really guilty of is protecting a  trusted family member. I also hope this is not yet another example of a cop, that was picked on by other kids all through grammar school, flexing his authoritative muscles.

I'll say this again, I dont think us white people understand what it means to be labeled a snitch in your neighborhood or worse with your family.  I would be way more surprised if he squealed.

Bama had another dback that did the same thing, Rashaad Johnson and I wouldn't consider him a thug. Still, Baron and Johnson could have used better judgement.

I love alll the contortions, excuses, hypothesizing, and conspiracy ideas some of my Tide posters are making for a Tide player who has been arrested. Like I said before, sounds like I'm on an Auburn board with them dscussing Cam or an Auburn player arrest. Sad.

Does the Mobile PD remind us of the Mayberry PD? RTR!

I live in Mobile. I think Barney is much more sophisticated.

Please know that my last was just for you as a joke based off of your previous barn board comment.  He is innocent until proven guilty and we don't know all of the details, but I think everyone knows enough (including the cop) to know that MB lied or omitted facts that delayed the cops initial investigation.  The story I made up was just for fun, but the Andy Griffith clip is pretty much how I imaging the cop for making such an arrest over such a reportedly small issue.

Should he have lied...no.

Was it stupid...yes.

Should he have been arrested...NO.

Was that stupid...yes.

Will CNS encourage him to do anything in court except apologize for his actions and take ownership of them while administering some minimal corrective punishment of his own...no.

Should CNS do more than that...no.

Will the charges be dropped..TBD, but I'm still saying most likely.

Is this discussion really anything like the denial that the barners have for $cam and the dirty cruitin...no, in that we all know he did something wrong, but the punishment should fit the crime.  It just wasn't something for which I feel he needed to be arrested.

Well for sure good buddy, if you are there I trust your kknowledge.  Barney would say good job chief. Glenn Ford just pumped Barney up. If Barney ever married Juanita the force would have been better. RTR!

Hey che: I wasn't aiming my spear at anyone, it was just a generalization of what I think.

Well, one thing is for certain.  It is very refreshing to come on here and see people have a civil debate about a difference of opinion instead of it evolving into a full out flame war.  This would never happen at TideSports, or pretty much any other forum I have seen.

E-cred for everybody in this thread.

Totally agree, SC. It is good to have an exchange of ideas without getting flamed for having a different opinion. Kudos to you and the mods and my fellow posters for making it so thus far.

Even the white "village idiots" around here will burn your house down for ratting. Not merely a "Black" thing.
