Bouknight charged with evading responsibility, interfering with police and more

[uconnell]

Nature provided human beings with an instinct to fight or flght When seemingly threatened. Sometimes the instinct can be controlled or not,even when the threat was caused by oneself.

I have felt threatened several times in my life and I chose flight.

Child does dumb thing in first weeks of college. More at 11.

 

[MattMang23]

Maybe they need a team curfew from now on.

Also I wonder whose vehicle it was, aren't freshmen not allowed vehicles on campus?

Players will often drive the team managers’ vehicles. Obviously I don’t know to whom this vehicle belonged but there’s a chance it was a manager’s.

 

[cohenzone]

Why can't we just make these things just go away, like every other Big time basketball school in the country?

Why should we?

 

[uchusky32]

Why should we?

Kid and team need to learn. Life lesson.

Ever since Rashad did the Scream prank, we’ve been cursed.

Didn't take ESPN long to get it up on there NCAAM site. #1 story currently. Clowns.

Can't wait to see this quickness on the court

Nah, it will be PTI... oh wait, never mind.

Stop. There is a zero tolerance law for those under 21. A former UConn football player recently wrote about it.

Think about it. "[College Campus] police in some cases don’t have the training or experience to arrest kids from the hood... (Don't even get me started on that)," but they can pick up on the slightest indication of when drugs or alcohol are at play.

After a month long investigation, I would think they'd have charged him with something alcohol/drug related. My point is that there is no reason to speculate on unsubstantiated charges after they've been filed.

Lol how can you charge someone with a DUI if they run and you can't test their BAC? You can't.

He had to be drunk, makes too much sense. In that case running was the only option.

 

[Palatine]

Doesn't anyone at UConn sit these kids down and read them the riot act --BEFORE-- they do anything stupid?

Ths happens habitiually at UConn, so obviously their orientation to campus life has a huge hole in it somewhere. Figure it freaking out.

I think that’s what I was saying. He shouldn’t be let off the hook like other “big time” programs.

 

[Husky25]

You seem to give the police a clear benefit of the doubt that they are always on the up and up. I hardly ever.

In some cases, suspicion is enough. I'm referring to those where someone fails to submit. Fleeing could certainly be considered failure to submit to someone with a loose interpretation. If the police are prone to throw the book at someone who flees, it wouldn't surprise me if this would be a no-brainer charge. Even if it were thrown out in court, wouldn't it be a bargaining chip for the prosecution. The fact that, after a nearly 4 week investigation, it is not? I don't know, but to me it speak volumes.

 

[UCDaveD]

FREE BOUKNIGHT!

 

[Scrutineer]

Why is it that UCONN seems like the only school who hangs their players out to dry.

And other school this would be swept under the rug and handled internally.!!!!

Same with the scooter incident

If only we paid our security officers more, and gave them more generous health and pension benefits.

 

[HanDurley]

Was a friend's car. Would've gotten in more trouble if he didn't run. Jalen got 1 game suspension for crashing a scooter. This is worse. I predict three games.

 

[UconnU]

In situations like this does the university typically do an internal investigation? Interview people he was with to see if he had been drinking? Or will they just let the legal process play out on its own?

jalen also fled

If he were an SEC football player he would have to sit out the first half.

I guess no reasonable adult ever thought about your suggestion before.

Are you being serious? Do you think this is only happening at UConn? It's universal. My kid was an RA at a different university and this is nothing to the stuff he's related to us. I went to Bucknell during the horse and buggy era. Some kids snuck into a room and put lighter fluid on a sleeping kid's cast and lit it. They trashed a floor so badly the damage costs per student exceeded the room and board charges.

Do you honestly think Dan Hurley is the type of coach who doesn't understand the behavior of kids and didn't read them the riot act? Were you in another universe when he disciplined Sid?

If he were an SEC football player he'd earn a star on his helmet.

Jalen also did this under Ollie, who I would imagine was alot more tolerant than Dan Hurley of his player's bull****.

Or drugs in the pocket
