UPDATED 1:17 w/ mugshot: Sammy Watkins arrested

  • uscshoe said...

    He was arrested for Mary J possession.

    I'm guessing he lives with some frat boys (just as Taj does) and I'm guessing they take one for Whoopi.

  • #1, I am amazed that the Clemson University police department would actually arrest an athlete.

    #2, I am astounded that the town cops released even this pitifully tiny bit of information.
    WSPA-TV must have applied some heavy pressure.

    That's what my Clemmy neighbor is saying. MJ and pills.


    So are the Clemmers saying that Sammy was set up by Gamecocks?

    Clemson University police arrest two students

    Clemson University police arrested two students on drug-related charges early Friday.

    Samuel B. Watkins IV, 18, a freshman communication studies major from Fort Myers, Fla., and member of the football team, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and simple possession of marijuana, both misdemeanors.

    Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia, 18, a freshman in parks, recreation and tourism management from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and member of the men�s soccer team, was charged with simple possession of marijuana.

    The men were arrested when police stopped the car Watkins was driving after an officer saw it scrape against a curb on campus and because the temporary license tag was not illuminated. When the officer pulled the car over in a parking lot off Commons Court, he smelled marijuana. During a search he found marijuana and two pills for which Watkins did not have a prescription.

    The men were arrested and taken to the Clemson City Jail. Watkins was released Friday morning on a $1,620 personal recognizance bond, and Dia was released on a $620 personal recognizance bond.

    temporary license tag?

    New car too? I wonder where he got the new car?

    I feel bad for that police officer. He is probably looking for a job this morning.

    Wait, I guess I'm dumb and confused. Grookster, is this actually reported somewhere or did you make it up?

  • Am I correct in thinking that if Sammy was driving the car and they found weed and pills that they should have tested him? Is this not a possible DUI situation?

    I guess Sammy will find a way to get the charges "dropped"

    That's hilarious. You need to go post that in the comments section in the article. If you don't I will. Scroll down to the bottom of the page

    That was the exact four things I was wondering. Surely, some reporter will ask who owns the car. As for the arresting officer, I'd suggest he get the hell out of Dodge.

    That's what caught my eye as well. No way it'll ever be looked into, though.
