Hill Arrested Reckless Driving

[maroonmadman]

Be prepared for the ole miss controlled media to spin the dangers of reckless driving and the evils thereof. Much, much worse than say....shoplifting, which every able bodied college student does. No college students ever drive recklessly, except for those devil spawn leg humpers wrongly influenced by their Scientologist debbil himself Dan *******!111!!

Indeed. I've grown about 4" of mullet since typing that post this morning**

Hill just secured himself a place on the bench for most of the 1st half of season. Mullen always likes the older guy anyway, just more fuel to not play him much.

I was told recently that Hill could easily become a locker room issue if his college coaches can't break some bad habits and correct his attitude. Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come.

I was told he is actually an human/avian hybrid extraterrestrial with mind control capabilities and was trying to get up speed to make it back to the mother ship for a beer.

Seriously? You really think Mullen's going to sit a guy for half a season for a traffic violation???

In Virginia, 20 over the posted speed limit gets you a 'reckless driving' citation to go along with the speeding ticket.

I've known plenty of people get the 'reckless driving' tacked on in Mississippi as well when it was 15-20 over the speed limit, but I think a lot of that was city cops, not Highway Patrol. No 'go directly to jail' moments though in those.

I did have a friend get arrested for reckless driving on Highway 49 coming up from Gulfport towards Hattiesburg. He was going about 90 though.

Patrolman pulled us over, looked at me, and said "I hope you can drive because your buddy is going to jail" before he took a license, breathalyzer, anything.


Really, Mississippi's reckless driving law § 63-3-1201 paints a pretty broad spectrum:

Any person who drives any vehicle in such a manner as to indicate either a wilful or a wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property is guilty of reckless driving. Reckless driving shall be considered a greater offense than careless driving.

Reckless driving is no joke. It's not really a "traffic offense" like speeding (you'll notice he was arrested). At the same time, it doesn't reflect as badly on the university as a crime of moral turpitude like shoplifting. Make him do some community service, some type of in-house punishment, and sit him for a quarter or a half. It was a stupid thing to do, but lots of college students are really ****** drivers. Make sure he knows he could've hurt somebody else or himself, address the behavior and correct it. That's what coaches are for, IMO.

120, per Sammon.

 

[Dawg1976]

I didn't say all. But I can see him sitting him quite a bit. As I said, he always likes the older RB anyway.

 

[Msubulldogfan1]

Can't hate on him. I've gone 120+. Only a couple times tho, as it is pretty scary.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

Sammon says no other penalties for Hill, other than the fine. I'm sure he'll have some "extra" conditioning, but doesn't sound like this incident will cost him any playing time. He must be the real deal.

I've done it before too. When the car starts to vibrate, you're going too damn fast.

Mullen seems to have extremely high expectations for younger guys. You might remember this board having one or maybe two discussions about A. Williams sitting behind B. Holloway until more than halfway through his RS So season. And A Williams to my knowledge is not a trouble maker or an attitude problem.

One thing Hill may have going for him is that A Williams is the only one that we know is not halfway in the dog house, and somebody has to be the second RB. He probably needs somebody like D Lee to use the wrong fork at inner or something though to give him a chance.

All I can think about is, one mistake and it's all over. I don't get s rush from it like some people seem to do.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

He must've been going 200mph, bc you have to reaaaally be going fast/acting reckless to get arrested.

I've heard he hits the hole going 120 too. His education is just beginning.

Gonna be ok.

That's what she said.

 

[HotMop]

Should his new nickname be "The Bandit"?

 

[VillagepeopleDogs]

Bad look for cuttin' donuts.

 

[sandwolf.sixpack]

Doing wheelies down the road and engaging in other profligacy on a crotch rocket will get you arrested for wreckless driving waaay faster than cutting a few doughnuts in a car. I know a few people who can attest to that.

I am somewhat conflicted about this. On one hand I support punishing people that are this idiotic as harshly as possible. On the other hand I support Darwinism when it comes to grown ups doing stuff that is this stupid....but not if it puts other people in danger, so I guess I have to throw my support behind harsh punishment.

I got a reckless driving ticket for going 107 in a 70 zone (I-55 South just north of Canton). The first thing the highway patrolman said was, "We usually take you to jail for going over 100." That got my attention. Thankfully, I didn't go to jail. He just wrote 2 tickets. I don't remember how much the fine was, but I remember it being low enough that I was relieved that it wasn't higher. The real killer was my insurance premium skyrocketing for a few years.

That was over 10 years ago, and it was my last ticket.
