Police use Mace on Clarett, arrest him after chase

Associated Press


COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Maurice Clarett was arrested early Wednesday after a highway chase that ended with police using Mace on the former Ohio State running back and finding four loaded guns in his truck, a police spokesman said.

Officers used Mace to subdue Clarett after a stun gun was ineffective because the former Fiesta Bowl star was wearing a bullet-resistant vest, Sgt. Michael Woods said.

"It took several officers to get him handcuffed," Woods said. "Even after he was placed in the paddy wagon, he was still kicking at the doors and being a problem for the officers."

Clarett was taken to police headquarters to be interviewed. Police planned to charge him with carrying concealed weapons and other counts, Woods said.

Clarett made an illegal U-turn on the city's east side and failed to stop when officers, in a cruiser with lights flashing, tried to pull him over, Woods said.

Police were pursuing Clarett on eastbound Interstate 70 when he darted across the median and began heading west. Clarett drove over a spike strip that was placed on the highway, flattening the driver's side tires of the SUV, Woods said.

Clarett exited the highway and pulled into a restaurant parking lot, where officers removed him from the SUV after he failed to obey numerous orders to exit the vehicle, Woods said.

After Clarett was placed in a police van, officers discovered a loaded rifle and three loaded handguns in the front of the vehicle, Woods said.

Woods said he did not know where Clarett got the guns or why he had them, and that federal authorities plan to trace their ownership.

Clarett, 22, is currently awaiting trial on two counts of aggravated robbery, four counts of robbery and one count of carrying a concealed weapon in a separate case. Authorities said he was identified by witnesses as the person who flashed a gun and robbed two people in an alley behind the Opium Lounge in the early hours of Jan. 1.

Messages seeking comment were left Wednesday morning for Clarett's attorneys in that case, Nick Mango and Michael Hoague.

Clarett scored the winning touchdown in the second overtime to lead Ohio State to the 2002 national championship, the school's first since 1968. But that was the last game the freshman played for Ohio State. He sat out the 2003 season after being charged with misdemeanor falsification on a police report, then dropped out of school. He sued to be included in the 2004 NFL draft and lost in court.

A surprise third-round pick in the 2005 draft, he was cut by the Denver Broncos during the preseason.
 
what a dumbass, this guy needs to just get locked up for about 5 years, he is done, he isnt going to be in the NFL, his days are over. either put him in jail, or just euthenize him. some people never learn.
 
I feel bad for people like this. The kid just can't help himself.
 
he already has peding charges, now he drives around in a bullett proof vest?
its not like he is some drug dealer, because if he was, he wouldnt be a little stick up man. obviously he hasnt learned from his mistakes.
 
I heard the Bengals scheduled a press conference at 6:00 p.m. to announce his signing after he makes bail.

He will fight with former Rival Back from Michigan Chris Perry to backup Rudi Johnson.
 
^arent you a OSU fan? why arent you backing him? i know you must have been Clarrett fan #1 back then, haha.
 
are your saying you feel bad for him?
 
I don't feel sorry for him but I take pity for him. That he surrounded himself with bad people, that no one older and wiser was able to step in and correct this before it got out of hand.

Where were his parents? Where was everyone else? This guy needs mental help, he's paranoid and a bonafide schizophrenic.

He shouldn't be anymore pissed at OSU then he is at the Broncos we both booted him off the team. Kid needs help..lock em up for a few years.
 
Wow! Sounds like he was getting death threats from rap thugs he owed big money to. Crazy story. I still don't feel sorry for the guy, he brought this on himself, but it does make a small amount of sense.

And I can't believe he was drinking vodka at an NFL training camp. "I gotta get my Goose on!" Lol! What a loser.

Dude, listen to Spielman on Sports. Chris called him up personally and offered to help him out, as did a number of other people like Tressel, Jim Brown, etc. I mean, JIM BROWN for Pete's sake! People recognized long ago that something was mentally amiss, and went way out of their way to help this guy. He didn't listen. I agree with that ESPN guy. Prison is the best place for him.
 
hmm from what i heard, it was suge knight who was the rap mogul...
