Ex-Ohio State star Clarett accused of robbing couple
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State University running back Maurice Clarett was accused of using a gun to rob two people in an alley behind a bar early Sunday and taking a cellphone, police said.
Clarett, 22, who helped the Buckeyes win the national championship in 2002, fled when the bar owner or manager, who knew Clarett and the victims, came into the alley and identified him shortly before 2 a.m., detectives said.

According to police, he left the scene in a white sport-utility vehicle with two other men and got only the cellphone from his alleged victims. Neither was hurt.

Clarett is wanted on two counts of suspicion of aggravated robbery, police said.

Clarett sat out the 2003 season after he was charged with misdemeanor falsification for filing a police report claiming that more than $10,000 in clothing, CDs, cash and stereo equipment was stolen from a car he borrowed from a local dealership. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.

Ohio State suspended Clarett for misleading investigators, and for receiving special benefits worth thousands of dollars from a family friend.

He later began an unsuccessful legal fight that went to the U.S. Supreme Court to be allowed in the NFL early. He was chosen by the Denver Broncos in last year's draft, but the team cut him in August.

Dammm.. I hate to read these kind of stories.

The guy is (was) a hero in Ohio right? He could get a cush job at like SmithBarney or something! He could even make it back into the NFL. He could have a hot girl and living good. Using a gun in an alley??? WTF?

really a sad deal, but the guy has made a lot of poor decisions over the last three years...

I always knew this guy was a piece of shit.
Its sad, but he must of not had anything else to fall back on but football. Football or nothing it seems like with him.

What makes me laugh, still, is that I can run the 40 faster than him right now - and I'm so out of shape, I get winded using a rotary phone.

Hey Imagine If He would of never tried to go to the pros early. It just
shows you one mistake can fvck up everything.. We All can learn from
this. Clarett will turn his life around,i am confident. But if somehow he
doesn't he is a piece of dog shit. He needs to stop smoking that weed
and get back in the gym and try to be the RB for the Arizona Cardinals
they didn't have anyone better than him.

how ironic that clarett signs with a team that called the hitmen today

now if that isn't funny enough. they only have 4 players on this team right now

Former Ohio State star running back Maurice Clarett, who failed to catch on with an NFL team after being cut by the Denver Broncos last year, has an oral agreement to play with an indoor league team, the Columbus Post-Dispatch reported Thursday.

Clarett was expected to sign a contract with the Mahoning Valley (Ohio) Hitmen of the Eastern Indoor Football League, the newspaper reported.

Hitmen coach Jim Terry said he sent the contract to Clarett on Wednesday, the Post-Dispatch reported.

"I've never seen a player this excited at this level of play," Terry said of Clarett, the newspaper reported. "This isn't a runner's league. It's a passer's league. And (Clarett) is going to try to make it on the ground."

Clarett led Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, then was suspended and took on the NFL in court, challenging the requirement that players wait three years after high school before turning pro. After losing on appeal, he was drafted by the Denver Broncos, then cut before the team's first game last fall. He hasn't played since the 2003 Fiesta Bowl against Miami.

It's unclear if Clarett will ever play for the Hitmen, because the team currently has just four players on its roster, the newspaper reported.

The Hitmen plan to hold open tryouts in August, the newspaper reported, and Terry hopes the league will begin play in January or February.

"I don't want this to be like a bowling league with a new guy or new team leaving every year," Terry said, the Post-Dispatch reported.
