Gresham vows silence

Gresham is probably upset because the arrest ended up making national news, including being one of the story links on espn. Thus reflecting negatively on him and OU, and possibly affecting his draft status and $$$. William says he is a retired officer and that this type of a warrant is usually only enforced if the subjuect encounters an officer randomly like on a subsequent traffic stop. So, THE REAL STORY is apparently about the PD. A follow up story should be done by NEWSOK. They could investigate how common it is too proactively arrest someone for not paying a seat belt ticket. And try to figure out how much the citizens ended up paying for this unnecessary and non SOP arrest. Good day Sir !

Being a retired police officer, I feel somewhat qualified to comment on this subject. The fact that he was a football player for the University of Oklahoma, is "THE ONLY" reason he was arrested on this warrant. Normally, warrants are issued when a defendant fails to appear. "Normally", the warrant goes into a file cabinet and the only time these type of warrants are served are if an officer comes into contact with a person who has an outstanding warrant. Basically, the warrant was served as soon as someone saw who the warrant was for. It's a bunch of garbage for law enforcement to waste time/effort & energy to serve these type of warrants. That's why they "Normally" don't serve them. But in this case, they made an exception. Don't get me wrong. He should have paid the fine and put it behind him.

Wow, I'm going to have to agree with John. I'm not entirely sure why you are steadfast in your disguist of someone, I assume, you do not know or have probably never met. The thing that people forget on these boards is that, whether I'm right or completely wrong (and he really is an "arrogant jerk" that thinks he's above the law), I was respectful. I didn't make any digs at other schools or other people, didn't curse those that disagreed with me. I simply stated what I had heard (because I know that a lot of people did not know his side of the story) in an appropriate way. So, whether I am right or wrong, at least people can respect the way I stated my opinion. Bob, even if you are 100% right, you're still are coming across in a very negative way. You seemed to insinuate that I was incompetent to believe the story that his mom told to a good friend of mine. I know people get personal online when it comes to college athletics, but save your digs for someone that plays that game. Otherwise, you just sound foolish.

There I type about someone's usage and sure enough, I typo "an" instead of "a".
