MSU WR MacGarret Kings arrested again
2nd alcohol related incident. He was projected to be starter this year.

EL Police Dept.
That was such a ridiculous statement he made last year. When offenses go unpunished there is no deterent for the person from commiting one again. Where's the Freep's overzealous reporting when you need them.
What's so ridiculous about it? He has run his mouth ever since he has been there and gotten a free pass from the media.
"We will manage this incident internally"
If I had a dime for every time I heard that one from Dantonio... Well I'd probably have a couple bucks
"Hello?"
"Hey Tom, its Mark. Can you tell me more about 'weird guys?'"
"Okay, Mac...this is strike two. One more and I'm going to have to do something. Please don't let it come to that."
He was suspended for spring practice. Maybe he just doesn't like spring practice...
When it comes to Dantonio and zero tolerance, he means the punishment......
...on East Grand River Ave...
I had to idea that Gholston had opened his own store in EL. Good for him.
I went to that place when I was a little kid. Bought a few packs of baseball cards there. Thanks for the memories.
Looks about the same as it did 30+ years ago. And thanks to that photo, it should be obvious where to go in East Lansing if you need to buy a newspaper.
'considered "super drunk" under Michigan law.'
Please tell me that's bad reporting and not the actual wording of our law.
pretty sure that is the actual wording.
He'd be able to tell you.
The "super drunk" designation applies here. If you go over .20, the technical term is "super duper drunk". If you go much over .40, the technical term is "dead". Seems like the second poorly-worded statute that's in the news these days ... .
And for our troubled MSU player, to get nailed a second time at that high of a BAC suggests he has a serious problem with C2H5OH. I hope he gets some help, and glad to hear he did not kill anyone while driving that intoxicated.
Craig James Killed 5 Hookers have to do with this drunk and disorderly charge?
oh...wait
It wasn't blatantly clear that Mr. King was driving during the incident. The article states that he was "arraigned Monday on charges of drunk and disorderly conduct and disorderly conduct, resisting, hindering or assaulting a police officer."
So he was drunk, apparently super drunk, but not necessarily behind the wheel. I think the distinction is important.
It's based off of Massachusetts' "Wicked Hammered" law.
I thought it was based off of Alabama's "Fuck it, it's Tuesday" law?
"super drunk" is part of the law. Blow a .17 or higher and expect a stiffer penalty.
...the term caused this wonderful bit of an ad that I found:
An experienced Michigan Super Drunk attorney will file pre-trial motions, challenge the traffic stop, challenge the operation of the vehicle, challenge field sobriety tests, challenge the admissibility of statements, challenge the probable cause to arrest, challenge the admissibility and accuracy of blood results and/or the admissibility and accuracy of DataMaster results.

(no endorsement of the above attorney(s) implied by posting this - I have no idea who they are)
oh wait, I forgot, he's into elder law now...
So, basically Michigan frat party Treetops level drunk...
Obviously nothing will happen to him in regards to punishment.
Obviously you've never had a massive hangover....
He doesn't go to Michigan bruh
MSU will probably suspend him for their opener against Western, and then reinstate him for their showdown with Oregon.
Western shouldn't be a pushover so he won't take any chances.
I saw the aftermath of the poor woman who was delivering pizzas in the Novi/Commerce/Wixom area a month or so ago. She was rear ended by someone who was super drunk and her car exploded burning her to death. I arrived in time to see the steam from the water as the fire department put out the fire.
I have no sympathy for any asshole who drives that drunk much less someone who didn't learn his lesson the first time. I hope he's locked up for a long time. He shouldn't get a reprieive because he was pulled over before killing someone.
he was just drunk and disorderly which on the street usually means 'contempt of cop' when contacted outside of a local bar/restaurant/party scene.
they'll have to try to find Waldo when they get to Kalamazoo. That distraction alone should be enough to throw them off their game.

Schefter reports that Oakland is interested in drafting him in the first round, but SanFran might trade up to get him sooner. Should be a good draft.
Unlikely to get off this time. Resisting arrest = not good.
"He was sentenced to 13 months probation in July and was ordered to pay $750 in fines after he pleaded guilty to the charge, a misdemeanor. Despite being sentenced to probation for 13 months starting in July, Kings' previous case is listed as closed. In December, his attorney made a motion to remove him from probation early and, after paying off a little less than $300 in fines in January, Kings' case was resolved, records show." Huh, what a surprise.
I guess the legal slap on the wrist Kings received along with the slap of being suspended for spring football last year wasn't much of a deterrent. Shocking.
Dantonio says it will be handled internally.

Or he could pull a Dantonio and suspend him for half a practice.
