if you're that curious, call the clerk's office and ask for a copy of his file. It's public record.


They normally make you do that in person. It's about a 4 hour drive for me.

Figured someone in the Tuscaloosa media would have published a story about it. I guess the media there is implicit as well. really good at keeping stuff quiet, unlike the Athens media that has people paid off at all the bail bonds places, which is why Weiczer always has the 3 am scoop on the arrests for the Athens Banner Herald.

No they don't. I have to request records like this all the time. They're not free, but you can always get them if you need them. Many clerk's offices will e-mail them to you.

I don't know why you're trying to turn a misdemeanor DUI offense into a conspiracy. DUIs are negotiated down all the time. And prelims are reset all the time.

Crap, man - I was lurking and your dumb arse made me sign in just to respond to you.
I grew up there - the TPD used to cover up the freaking coach's drinking problems 20 years ago (not Bear - he could do anything). The Tuscaloosa media LOVES an arrest of a Bama player - it gets so many clicks. There's no way they cover stuff up.
The car was running, so the LAW says that there was a potential DUI taking place. The hearing has been postponed until the first of the year. It was in the news - I'm surprised it didn't turn up in your search.
