Its a felony for sure. Here is the burglary statute for reference. Pretty much what dude did to the letter.
There is a reason the guy left two different schools and tried for #3. Obviously has issues. Now he has managed to throw his football abilities totally away. Very sad. Hopefully he can somehow get his life together without football. Suspect it will be tough.He couldn’t and least wait till he got to Boulder?
What a wasted opportunity by not using his head..
When you need that sex, you need it NOW!
He said "Proof? you want proof?"
Hope he turns it around???? WTF! The Huskers are the kid's third team. He probably will get probation, play 1 year at NE West Central State college and then play in the NFL. Where he will play half the games due to suspensions.
If the store wasn’t so overpriced it would’ve been under $1200 and he could’ve just bought the item’s anyway. Boom, there’s his defense.
Could do 1-5 years and will probably never set foot on a football field and/or a university campus again.I look at this pragmatically. Why would Nebraska incarcerate Gilbert? That cost the state money. Give him a fine and probation and send him back to his home.I tend to agree with this in most instances. It’s a choice/decision that young men, who often lack a healthy childhood, make and often regret. He may claim mental illness, he may infact be suffering from some sort mental illness, but in the end he made the poor decisions and he will pay a steep price.
There is a silver lining for Arik, if he humbles himself and recognizes it. He will likely, not 100%, be given a light sentence or possibly a diversion program (depending on his record) simply because of his affiliation with the university/football program. It all depends on the judge, but if he shows humility and takes responsibility for his actions, most judges don’t want ruin the life of a young man with potential to be a successful contributor to society. But, if he’s defiant, blames others and deflects responsibility for his decisions… yikes
I don’t use any tobacco substances. Dislike them all but I do enjoy the smell of a cig on a cold morning in the duck blind.
First, it’s prove beyond reasonable doubt, not “know.” And it might be the part where he threw a concrete chunk, more than once, at a closed store’s locked glass door, kicked down another, then filled a bag with stuff he wasn’t really able to purchase at that time, oh and the hands up acquiescence when confronted by officers. But maybe I’m overthinking it.
bonehead. deserves to be gone. That said, on paper one of the most physically talented players on the team, so that seems like par for the course.
^^^ lol this, exactly. Physical talent unfortunately is as important as brain cells, in football.
Maybe when he was a freshman
He was damaged. Can’t disagree. ‘Wish him the best’. He’ll find his way to the NFL regardless…
doubt it
As a good friend who is a probation officer likes to tell the kids he works with- "At some point, your background issues are no longer excuses and you have to be held responsible for your actions."
How easy do you think it is to make an NFL roster? This dude hasn't cracked the 2 deep over his last couple years of college and now he should be looking at jail time. He should consider himself lucky if he gets an XFL tryout.
