Day Of Legal Fun Continues: Frank Clark's Turn
Zero details on this yet but a Frank Dominick Clark shows up on a 14th District Court preliminary exam list with a charge of "Home Invasion" in the second degree:
CR-W-12-0000797 FH
CLARK, FRANK DOMINICK
PRELIMINARY EXAM - JG SHELTON
LEWIS, DOUGLAS ECount:
001
HOME INVASION - 2ND DEGREE
Slight possibility this might be some other Frank Clark—google did not turn up confirming evidence of his middle name—but there were some rumors going around some weeks back about Clark being in some sort of trouble so the chances this is a mixup are very low.
The charge is serious…
(6) Home invasion in the second degree is a felony punishable by imprisonment for not more than 15 years or a fine of not more than $3,000.00, or both.
…but is probably similar in nature to the Marvin Robinson issue that drew an identical charge and is in the process of turning into a misdemeanor of some variety.
UPDATE: Hoke confirms it's that Frank Clark. Indefinite suspension, wait for outcome, etc. Also this is what he allegedly did:
Frank Clark is accused of stealing a MacBook Air from Stockwell Hall, according to police.
I don't think he should have allegedly done that.
This is precisely why you don't schedule really hard games to open the season. Players do dumbass stuff during the offseason and have a ton of time to do it. You should assume that you'll have to suspend at least one or two starters for the first game, so you might as well schedule a cupcake.
But you're playing another team. By your logic, they will also have one or two starters suspended. Unless you're implying that Michigan is worse than others.
Alabama does not arrest their players. They just take them to Saban's front porch.
Replying here so people will see:
Frank Clark is accused of stealing a MacBook Air from Stockwell Hall, according to police.
The hell was he doing in Stockwell? Isn't that place still girls only?
Edit:
Derp, not since the 2009 rennovation. My bad. Coed now.
Not since the renovation in 2010ish
If accusations turn out to be true: Fucking idiot. These kids have so much to lose. How hard is it not to steal a Macbook? Or drive drunk for that matter.
Evidently he has more expensive taste than Marvin Robinson.
please don't suspend titz. that would ruin my life.
I make no excuses for a DUI, but that can be a misjudgement on your level of intoxication. Stealing someone's laptop is a choice. That said, sometimes "borrowing" can become stealing when the person/insitution who loaned it gets PO'd. Once the court case plays out, it turns out that Clark stole the laptop he should be off the team. Period.
Where the hell is the accountability for one's actions? This is embarrassing.
The directory is useful.
Double dukes!
What the hell? How hard is it to stay out of trouble?!?
Unreal... I hope that old saying, "Trouble comes in Threes" is just an old superstition.
HAMBURGERS!
Man what a shitty Monday. First off, it's Monday and then all of this just adds on to it. Hopefully the young men can learn from their mistakes and grow from them.
This is actually much more embarassing. Minor impact on the program, but this is the kind of thing that can't really be chalked-up as a mistake unless he was in desperate need of money, in which case there are boosters... (kidding)
Please stop posting anyhing else today, Brian. Save some for the rest of the week.
Nope, get it ALL out today. Who wants more days like this?
If Lewan's twosie is in fact a photoshopped onesie, I'd like to know NOW!
This day of shits and giggles continues. Great day for the B1G. Maybe they should send the entire team to the Navy training from now on, not just seniors, because this team lacks discipline right now. 7 Fucking arrests in 16 months now. Not all of these are Hokes fault, but time to for him to step up and send a fucking message, make sure this shit doesn't happen again.
are Hoke's fault.
There. Fixed it for ya.
He has already sent a message, he kicked Stonum off the team. Not sure what else you expect him to do. He has to deal with 125 kids from the age of 18-24.
"He has to deal with 125 kids from the age of 18-24. "
I get that. But so does every other NCAA football coache. Not every other school is dealing with this.
Ideally, I'm over reacting, Hoke's message will be sent, and soon these arrests will stop, especially when he gets his recruited players on campus. But until it happens, I'm going to be cynical. That's the type of person I am.
Look around NCAA sports and all year long you read about kids being arrested and doing stupid things. Every coach has to deal with this at some point or another. Just look at Va Tech last year before the Sugar Bowl, they sent two of thier kickers home because of legal issues, that played a key role in our victory. Look at MSU, OSU, Auburn, Alabama, ND and so on the fact is all school's have to deal with this. I for one think that Hoke has been very fair with his punishments, compared to other schools.
Coach Hoke has set a stance as a no bullshit coach who is not afraid to sit, suspend, or kick a kid off the team. He can only do so much, he can only have so much face time with each player, he has to trust these kids will make the right choice.
Yes you are right, got my facts mixed up. However I think I made my point.
That home was coming right at me!!!
It sucks but kids do really dumb shit all the time. In Fitz's case when you drink to intoxication, (dumb thing), leading to hapless decision making, (inevitable thing), have access to a car, (dangerous thing), bad shit happening is only a matter of time. Hope he learns his lesson the first time.
As a man who doesn't forget what it wa like to be a teenager and currently being around many as well, I wouldn't say that is an extreme exaggeration. I don't think he is saying young people drink and drive all the time, he's saying they do stupid things all the time, and that's true. Whether it's sliding over car hoods dukes of hazard style, making small pipe bombs to see if they will blow up mail boxes, drag racing on empty streets etc etc. The fact is kids just don't understand at this age that what they do can have lasting consequences beyond the instant gratification they are getting from them. It's sad, but it's true.
I'm not condoning what they did and think they need to have consequences for their actions, but pretending things like this don't happen all the time (as sad as that is) is burrying your head in the sand
Well it's time to turn off the computer and go sit by the pool.
Not sure if serious.
Goddamit what the hell guys!? So much for our exceptionalism.
haha Brian, very funny. Is this some type of July 23rd fools of some sort?
maybe this nimrod is trying to take some of the sting away from Fitz's dumbass.
I honestly for the life of me cannot comprehend how this continues to occur.
You literally have to DO NOTHING, and you will be fine...
They need to take some lessons from Kunu.
The weather outside is weather?
"When life gives you lemons, just say 'Fuck the lemons,' and bail."
I'd say that's pretty fitting for today.
Where's the "Monday afternoon: What are you drinking thread?" when you need one?
It's "Ohyo".
