Not all sunny in LA

Southern Cal may have just embarrassed Ohio State, 35-2 on Saturday, but its their cornerback Shareece Wright who should really be embarrassed. Wright was charged with felony resisting the popo after being detained at a party in Colton last weekend. The party was for a friend who was being deployed to Iraq. Unlike several others, he was not arrested at the scene, but he was later charged.

The University says it does not plan to discipline the Junior, saying “We went through the whole thing. We understand what happened.” Unfortunately, the popo are not as understanding, watch out Shareece, because the popo are on your tail!

UPDATE: USC has yet to decide what to do with Shareece Wright after the cornerback entered a not guilty plea on Wednesday to one count of resisting the popo at a friend’s going away party in his hometown of Colton. In the wake of the plea, more light has been shined on the incident. As previously reported, the party was thrown in honor of his friend Luis Alvarado who was being deployed to Iraq on Wednesday. The popo arrived at the house in response to a complaint about the noise level of the party. While three people were arrested and apparently one person was tasered (did you really need a taser?), Wright was not charged until after the incident because he refused to leave his friends house. Apparently Wright had a suspended license and admitted to have been drinking. From the facts at hand, it kind of seems like Wright is being charged for doing the right thing. Would you prefer him to drive while intoxicated with a suspended license or stay the night at a friend’s house? Although, was there no one there to give him a ride home? (source)
