Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Freshman football player arrested By David Dadurka / Daily Progress staff writer July 18, 2004 An All-State running back from western Virginia and incoming University of Virginia football player was arrested Saturday in Charlottesville on charges of underage alcohol possession and obstruction of justice, both misdemeanors. A city police officer who was patrolling Elliewood Avenue at around 1:50 a.m. approached Ahmad Rashad Bradshaw, 18, of Bluefield, who was charged in the incident. The officer noticed Bradshaw was holding a plastic cup and asked what kind of drink he had, city police Sgt. Steve Dillon said. Bradshaw stated it was an alcoholic beverage, Dillon said. The officer then asked for his identification and Bradshaw gave the name and date of birth for a subject who was dead. Bradshaw, who ran track in high school and has rushed for 5,265 yards in his career according to virginiasports.com, fled on foot. The officer chased Bradshaw from Elliewood Avenue to the Rotunda, Dillon said. Bradshaw struggled briefly with the officer and was taken to the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail. He was released Saturday on a $1,000 unsecured bond. Dillon said that if Bradshaw had cooperated with police he likely would have been issued a summons and released at the scene. Bradshaw was named No. 8 on The Daily Progress’ Gold List and hailed as the 25th-best running back in the country, according to sports recruiting magazine SuperPrep. He also has been recognized as a standout basketball player, scoring more than 1,000 points in his career according to virginiasports.com.

Sources 10 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Ahmad may have more things to worry about than getting arrested, more like keeping his scholarship. Not because of his arrest though, but that Charlottesville has cops who can run him down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBlue02 11 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Did Coach Beamer really time the cop that ran him down or is that just a big ole rumour? I was reading that over on the LPD message board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigBlue02 11 Report Share Posted July 23, 2004 Wouldn't that be kind of ironic that a guy from blufield caught him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandman 13 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 To the Bluefield backers, these comments are way out of line from a group of fans whose high school produced Cortez Martin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
