Didba 5,256 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Attempt to elude is a pretty weak charge, waiting to see what transpired before passing judgement. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnWarVet 46 Posted August 4, 2022 Author Share Posted August 4, 2022 Apparently this is stemming from him not wearing a helmet while riding a moped...This is ridiculous...just write a ticket and be done but to issue an arrest warrant for a dang helmet? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,001 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 (edited) I have been reading so many other schools situations like this and thinking "Thankfully nothing has happened at Auburn." Nevertheless, it could be a lot worse. So interesting he would allegedly get caught up in this after his amazon partnership. Gracious. But seriously, if it was about a helmet, did they really have to take him into custody? I cannot wait to hear all the facts.

Didba 5,256 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So, I am hearing he successfully eluded police on his moped and turned himself in the next day. Which makes me think he maybe had some weed/other stuff on him and eluded to ditch it, was probably surprised he actually got fully away, went home ditched the stuff and realized he needed to turn himself in. LMAO, that he actually successfully eluded LEOs on a moped. if true. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,499 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So according to pay site admins, he got pulled over for riding a moped without a helmet, but he took off. Cops recognized him and told him to come in about it. Gave him a few days and TJ never showed. So today, he got arrested for attempting to elude police. Mensa candidate right there. 1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdc81 90 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 He is a marketing genius Has Amazon NIL and now his name is pasted all over social media, any publicity is good publicity. We ought double the 2023 recruiting class by sundown Should make bank on this in exchange for a ticket. If someone has a video tape he'll be able to buy a stable of mopeds and rent them out to AU fans who want to relive the moment. He deserves a start in the first series just for trying. Little doc, some of my fondest memories involve eluding Barney Fifes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dilligas 581 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 He prob burned rubber across campus and lost them in haley center. Seriously, there was an LSU player years ago that was an elite sprinter who was fleeing cops on foot. The big surprise to me was that he was caught on foot on campus by a campus cop. Incidentally, hIs crime was breaking into a girls on campus apartment and groping her in her sleep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
