Rakym Felder arrested

What a moron.

Frank Martin needs to get a handle on his guys. Second major incident this year.

Per SECcountry

“The listed subject engaged an unknown person in physical combat, using personal weapons. When he left the sidewalk at the incident location and entered the roadway unlawfully, sucker punching the unsuspecting bystander, causing him to fall to the ground and lose consciousness.

“I attempted to apprehend the listed subject, at which time he began to flee on foot. Still in th roadway, ignoring several verbal commands to stop, the subject was apprehended when he ran into a fenced in parking lot.”

The report also states that Felder was apprehended “with the aid the X26 taser, which was used to gain compliance … he was transported to 700 Harden Street, where he began to resist, kicking and striking at officers attempting to place the listed subject into the transport van.

“The second listed victim, a (Columbia Police Department) officer, was assaulted during the listed subject’s attempted resisting arrest. The subject was eventually secured with a seat belt inside the transport van and was taken to (jail).”

Yeah ... he's gone.

Martin has, historically, signed borderline discipline problems. He's been successful doing it - but some of them have let him down when he's given them a chance.

There is a player outta Florida, a big man, perhaps the most talented big man in the country ... went to UConn if I remember correctly, decided to leave there after an altercation. Anyways, he wanted to transfer here but we didn't take him. Not sure where he ended up.

Point is, Martin does take discipline problems sometimes but he tries to hedge his bets and gamble on the kids that appear to be better odds. Gregory and Cobb were two of those ... so was Felder supposed to be.

Felder is as good as gone. He was brought down here to get him away from the thug life and his year at Fort Mill was trouble free ... but something triggered the thug in him and it's all but over.

Still yet, he's had far more success stories than failures - but we've yet to hear about those ... although, we will.

Big thing is to send another message, dismiss Felder from the team, then move on and win, go to the dance, win. Once that starts happening we'll be able to sign more kids with fewer background issues. It's a double-edged sword.
