Smh.. Cotton district driving a 2016 escalade... 17ed his draft status...
Per Bonner Twitter. Not good. Not good at all
Well Clairon ledger just broke what I heard at the baseball game. That's gonna be an expensive mistake.
Don't drink and drive fellas.... I actually found out about this around 8a this morning but wasn't sure it was true...http://on.thec-l.com/1pn42Uo
Yup I heard at the baseball game. Surprised it took this long to break. Gonna be a very costly mistake.
yeah- gonna cost him a round most probably
Dumbass. He just decreased the number of teams that will draft him.
Now every team is going to think he is just putting up a front when he portrays to be a God child. This sucks! Damnit DAK you couldn't get anybody to come pick you up
Hard to believe he made such a dumb mistake.
Can we let the whole story come out before we convict him of a DUI?
Got to give the Clarion Ledger credit, this is now the top story on their website - much more important than 1000's of state residents currently losing their homes to flooding.
Absolutely a boneheaded move. Hope he learns from it.
It's been confirmed by Starkville Daily News by calling SPD Chief. He was arrested and charged with a DUI this morning near the Cotton District.
Meh, Dak can't make those mistakes, but teams make decisions by getting to know the player, not by a random DUI.
The truth is that the scouts that truly know Dak are excited about this because they now think they can get him a round later.
It's not right, but my guess is that everyone on this board has driven under the influence before and so have the scouts and GMs. Good teams don't make political draft pics. They do their research and take who they feel can help them the most.
Nice job by SPD. Give him a pass and drive him home for all the good he has done. Freakin Barney Fifes on SPD. Dak did indeed screw up but the SPD should have covered this crap up once for all the good he has done for our school. Pisses me off!!
Wow I honestly can't believe you typed that out. If you drive drunk and get caught, I don't care if your mother Teresa, you should be charged
One bad move erased all the good leadership qualities he supposedly had. Costly night out.
If the Starkville PD released this to the CL he's already convicted in the media perception arena.
SPD cost Smoot some big money in March 2001 before the draft. Smoot attends a house party, cops come in, roach found in a garbage can and Fred's the one arrested. SPD dropped the charges 3 weeks later but the 1st rounder became a 2nd rounder. Back then the SPD chief was an OM guy.
But Dak's gotta be smarter than that.
Did the CL say this was actually good news for Dak?***
Hate it for Dak and he should have been smarter. I can remember numerous times I should have been smarter too, but wasn't. I was never caught when drinking while driving, but I never had as much on the line as Dak either. I was lucky. I never condemn a kid for this because I know how many times it could have been me. I just hope they learn from it and hopefully the next guys coming up (Ross, etc.) learns from it.
Yeah. None of us have ever driven a tad over the limit. I was just saying, that all the revenue he has generated for Starkville should have told Barney to say. Hey pal, gonna give you one free pass and I will get you home. If we see you out again tonite or ever again driving drunk, you are toast. Quite frankly, I can't believe that MSU doesn't have a policy in place withSPD to cover this crap up internally and be handled by the coaching staff.Dak screwed up, but his character leading up to this unfortunate incident should have been considered. Nice job Barney. Go shine your f ing bullet
The SPD is in no way to blame. They just did their job. Dakota has to be smarter and not give Turtle any nights off now that he is NFL-bound. Its a mistake he will hopefully learn from
assuming he actually was drunk. last time i drove back to the Cotton District at 1am on a weekend, i got pulled over for touching the line on my right as i made a hard right turn off old 182. then was told i blew a .07 when all i'd had was 2 Coors Lights. time before that i was pulled over for no seat belt. still got the ticket after i blew solid. that area is worse than Gordo or Reform at that time of night on a weekend.
Unless Dak blew an absurd amount I agree with Bmydawg. Dak brought Starkville an extra couple mill last year alone. SPD hit the jackpot for DUI arrests while MSU's football team was #1 in the country. Gotta think they've hit way over their quota of DUIs the last two years. They should of let this one get an escort home.
In the late 90s & early 00s Starkville cops hated MSU students.
