Perhaps it's my lame Ohio-ness showing through, talking about a guy who hasn't done anything in 3 years. But is this guy a douschebag or what? Had it all at OSU, tried to go pro, failed, and now he's resorted to mugging people on the streets. Sounds like a real winner there.
He got arrested for mugging someone? Haha, he really is a dousche. They guy tried to go pro before he was allowed thus ruining his chance to continue playing in college, that performed poorly in the combine.

Yeah if he would've stayed at OSU for just 2 more years, he would be a millionaire now. You can't tell me that he had to do a whole lot there. When you have someone like that attending your college, the professors tend to be a little lenient with grades.

COLUMBUS, Ohio Jan 3, 2006 — Former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett appeared in court in handcuffs and jail-issue clothing Tuesday when a judge set bond at $50,000 on charges that he robbed two people with a gun in an alley behind a bar.
Clarett, who helped the Buckeyes win the national championship in 2002, will have to post 10 percent of the bond set by Franklin County Municipal Judge Amy Salerno. He did not enter a plea and did not speak in court. His next hearing is Jan. 12.
"We are looking forward to investigating the allegations," Clarett's attorney, William Seppina, said outside court. "That's all I can say." Each of the two charges of aggravated robbery carries a possible sentence of three to 10 years.
After spending the better part of two days wanted by police, Clarett surrendered Monday night, about the time the fourth-ranked Buckeyes were completing a 34-20 win over No. 5 Notre Dame in Tempe, Ariz., for their third Fiesta Bowl victory in four years.
The 22-year-old Clarett was wanted since early Sunday, when police said he flashed a gun and demanded property from a man and a woman behind the Opium Lounge in downtown Columbus.
Police said he fled with two men in a sport utility vehicle after he was identified by the bar owner, who happened to come out into the alley. No one was injured, and only a cell phone was taken from the alleged victims, police said.
Clarett sat out the 2003 season when he was charged with lying to police about the value of items stolen from a car he borrowed. He later pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
Ohio State suspended Clarett for misleading investigators, and for receiving special benefits worth thousands of dollars from a family friend.
Clarett also unsuccessfully challenged the NFL's requirement that players wait three years after high school before turning pro in a case that went all the way to the Supreme Court. He was chosen by the Denver Broncos in last year's draft, but the team cut him in August.
Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel said the day before the Fiesta Bowl that he had recently spoken with Clarett about playing in Europe.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - Maurice Clarett, a one-time star college running back whose career sputtered amid legal troubles, was being held on Wednesday after leading police on a car chase and the discovery of four guns in his vehicle.
Clarett sped away early on Wednesday when police tried to pull him over for a traffic violation, Columbus Police spokesman Sgt. Michael Woods said.
Clarett, 22, pulled into a parking lot but would not leave his vehicle, and officers sprayed him with Mace and attempted to use a stun gun to extricate him. The stun gun, or Taser, which delivers a jolt of electricity, was ineffective because Clarett was wearing a bulletproof vest.
Four loaded guns, including an assault rifle, were found in Clarett's vehicle, though police did not speculate what he was doing with the weapons. He faces felony charges, Woods said. <!-- ### Top News -->
Clarett had been free on bond from charges stemming from a robbery behind a Columbus nightclub in January in which he allegedly flashed a gun and stole a cell phone from a couple.
A freshman star at Ohio State University, Clarett scored the winning touchdown in overtime against Miami in the Fiesta Bowl, giving Ohio State the 2002 national championship. Before the next season, he dropped out of school amid allegations of academic cheating, theft and giving police a false identity.
He then challenged National Football League rules restricting the drafting of underclassmen, but lost in court. Clarett was drafted in the third round in 2005, but was cut by the Denver Broncos before the regular season.
