89Tornado 10 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Sorry to not have a link available, but I received a tech sideline email, it had a short article on it. He was arrested from an ongoing drug bust there. Apparently, he sold drugs to a undercover cop there at the school. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 This is a sad and a happy story all at the same time. It is sad that these young people are potentially throwing away a future that they have sitting on a silver platter right in front of them. On the other hand it is a happy story because it is cleaning up some of the drug problems in Virginia's high schools. I had never thought about police departments putting undercover students in schools to bust other students for drugs...but it seems like a very effective ploy. I wouldn't mind seeing it used around here. I hate to see the future of these kids ruined, but if they are going to do such dumb things they deserve to be caught and face the punishments. I just hope that Beamer doesn’t let this one pass. Surely he has learned his lesson from past troubled athletes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlueAlum 12 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 [ QUOTE ] Who said they wasn't????????? [/ QUOTE ] I guess you are right. There just hasnt been any reports of any busts using undercover agents that I can ever remeber. But you are right, that they could be conducting suc inverstigation right now and we would never know.

tbgfan 856 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 As a parent your heart breaks to hear this. As a sports fan you say, oh no here we go again, abundant talent, but no maturity to see the consequences of wrong choices. As a Christian, Peter Rose needs our prayers at this time.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 That's the only thing that VT could do. They've done it before with the DB recruit from Charlotte who was his senior class President but got caught stealing computers from the school...he ended up at Louisville...

[/ QUOTE ] The sad thing is he probably didnt throw everything away. He will still get an offer form some school, and will still have the chance to make it to the pros. Thats the reason athelete do the things they do...because they can always get a second chance, and and a third, and a...you get the point.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Everybody deserves a 2nd chance, but a 3rd, 4th, 5th.... That shouldn't happen, at some point kids have to face the consequence of their actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
