Dustin Doe arrested

[leakbrewergator]

No, this isn't an old thread from 2 years ago. Dustin's GF is a good friend of mine and apparently the LB was arrested last week due to some unpaid traffic tickets.

This obviously is nothing too serious but I'm sure it will add more fuel to the "Thug U" fire that's being perpetuated lately.

I couldn't find too much info online about the actual arrest, but as anyone who has been arrested for traffic tickets will tell you, a cop just served Doe a warrant, took him to jail and locked him up for a few hours.

Just wanted to report this even though it's no biggie, especially with the way parking tickets are meted out in Gainesville lately.

LBG, you and I both know that the media will blow this all out of proportion.

Doe isn't a "thug"; he's a moron. He should have taken care of those tickets as well as his driver's license; there's no excuse for stupidity like that.

Some of these cases, their not bad guys but they make dumb decisions.

Meyer has suspended him indefinitely until Doe can get this stuff sorted out. He won't be with the team on August 6 when they start practicing.

If this is the third time, it's likely a three-strikes-you're-out - that, or he'll be suspended for the first two games.

^^That would be the case if this were a more serious offense. However, unpaid traffic tickts definitely does not warrant him missing any game time, let alone a whole season.

This kid has a dire need to get his ducks in a row.

Disappointing to say the least. These things have a life of their own and I'm sure once the season commences it, along with the other arrests, will raise it's ugly and distracting head w/ a vengeance.

According to Charlie Strong, Doe's expected to return once he gets his legal issues resolved: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/2009/08/gators-lb-dustin-doe-expected-to-return-one-day.html

They got Spikes, Hicks, Stamper, Jones, and the other Jenkins.

They got Spikes, Hicks, Stamper, Jones, and the other Jenkins.

And all of those guys would start in every single college in the country

Doe could be back as early as this week: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/sports_college_uf/2009/08/gators-lb-dustin-doe-plans-to-rejoin-team-this-week.html

Who should start at LB besides Spikes? I think Stamper and if he gets his act together Doe because all three are seniors and should at least start the season as starters. If Doe can't well, Hicks, Jones, and maybe Jenkins can fight for the spot.

i would would say brandon hicks, he has shown he can make plays and i think he would give doe a run for the linebacker position
