The problem the cop faced. .... If you shoot him, you'll just make him mad.

"Misdemeanor reckless conduct"?

Do that in Athens, Ohio, and they'll nail you for assaulting an officer.

I thought that behavior was considered assaulting a woman in Athens, Ohio.

A candygram would've headed all of this off.

A candygram would've headed all of this off.

Sheriff Bart: "Candygram for Mongo, candygram for Mongo ..."

Mongo: "Mongo like candy ..."

(Bart exits, stage left, inner ears covered for impending explosion)

That guy in Conway, South Carolina just burst into tears and has no idea why.

I seem to remember former Cincinnati basketball player Art Long laying a haymaker on a police horse's mug.

And pulling down 14 rebounds the next night. Huggins sure ran a tight ship.

Seriously, years ago my brother was involved in an altercation among fans at a football game. Alcohol was involved. Police stepped in, police's horse stepped on my brother's foot. My brother punched the horse in the ass. I can't remember exactly what the aftermath was -- he wasn't arrested, but at the very least was given a stern lecture by the cop.

Not defending Huggs' discipline, but it should be noted that Long was acquitted of the charge. During court - I was there - Long's and witnesses' testimonies said it was an open-handed patting, not even hard enough to be called a slap. Cop overreacted.
EDIT: FWIW, only charge I remember sticking was an underaged drinking charge against Danny Fortson. Can't remember if he suited up the next night.

I covered a kid named BJ Grove in high school. A 6-11 center that went to George Jr. Republic (a residental reform school in Pennsylvania). Talking to the kid after the game he could not even understand the most simple words. One of the least intelligent kids I have ever encountered that had a crazy past (gang involvement, drugs, assault, etc.) Guess where he ended up playing in college? Huggins' graduation rate was pathetic...I think only Keith Gregor graduated in five years or less during his time in Cincinnati (not sure, but this is what I heard). At least Huggins never claimed the players were at UC to get an education.

 

[Killick]

Gregor wasn't alone, but Huggs' record was far from good. He had 27 players graduate during his 16 years at Cincy. Far from good, but not as bad as you think, Carlton.

Oh yeah, and I forgot about this: Long was acquitted of the "Mungo" incident, but did later get convicted of choking his girlfriend. Oi vey.
