Stevie Clark arrested...

Hood is simply an abbreviation of neighborhood. Boasting of education & using urban dictionary as a source in the same post. Oh the irony.
 
He was riding around with a guy who has been kicked off 3 football teams. ECU, NEO and UCO. He wasn't in Stillwater during the season. He is making stupid choices.
His teammates won't help because half of them were smoking with him in Florida. It just happened to be his room and when his room was searched they found his supply for the whole trip.

He needs to get his life in order quickly.

LK knew what he was doing when he quit recruiting the kid. And yes he did pull the scholarship offer before he committed to OSU.
 
I sincerely hope the young man get himself straightened out, but until then, I'm very grateful that he is Ford's problem and not LK's.

Ford was not available for comment on Clark’s situation or status on Wednesday.

Clark, however, was busy for a time on Twitter.

“It could have been anything he was gone try to ruin me anyways.”

“Can’t ride through the hood in peace sooo … all the police.”

I think I almost have more issue with the tweet about the police. He left to much open to the imagination of what he was going to say ( and I assume not nice) and left at "all the police." That shows great disrespect to authority. Is not Ford an authority figure? I would very much be questing hs pyche about being coached if I was Ford. (And yes I do realize there can be bad police just like bad coaches, but he said all the police.
 
In fairness to Stevie, he's a team player. He took the first suspension for the team. Also in comparison to the precedent, Stevie is still good compared to the rapists and drug dealers that OSU have supported in the past.
 
I'd like to think of myself as a compassionate person who feels bad for anyone who makes a mistake, especially someone as young as Stevie. Stupid move or not, he's still a teenager barely out of high school who seems to be putting his desire to smoke weed ahead of everything else right now.

I was young once myself (yes, I know that's hard to believe), but I'm not too old to forget the temptations I experienced in my late teens and early twenties. I could have (and probably should have) landed in jail, or worse, for some of the stunts I pulled.

Do I believe that Stevie deserves to be let off of the hook if his determination to destroy his college career continues? Absolutely not. Travis Ford will do him a great disservice with another slap on the hand for his second offense. If I was in Ford's shoes, I would make this one hurt...a lot! And, if he didn't learn from it, there would not be a third chance.

:clap:clap:clap Obviously this kid has a bad marijuana habit, but of course those who smoke it will tell you one can't develop a marijuana habit with it being harmless and all........I would think something that has no addictive properties would be easy to quit, if even just long enough to salvage, say a college education, or pro athlete career. *sarcasm alert*

"Hood" can simply mean locale or place where one lives. It's just the vernacular. Doesn't mean bad neighborhood or ghetto.

Exactly. Little rich kids who attend Deer Creek, Edmond schools, Norman schools, and home school in Gallardia often refer to their immediate neighborhood ad the hood. I know this from counseling so many of them who get addicted to pain pills, and e-pills after stealing out of their parent's purses/wallets. Hood simply means where one lives, at least in 2014 to the youth of America, even the ones from the hood.

Lol @ Edmond not having a hood.


Hahahahaha...... no doubt. Some arrogant Edmondites would be shocked and amazed watching UCO athletes drive through the ready made drug dealing apartment complexes scattered around Edmond...... When I did child abuse/neglect/sexual abuse investigations at DHS, myself and the other investigators would chuckle each time we got a bad referral in Edmond. They certainly have some seedy areas I wouldn't want to live in. Child abuse, sexual abuse, meth cookin', drug dealin', wife beatin', it goes on in Sacred Edmond folks.......

I actually saw a guy try to site urban dictionary as a source for an academic paper on racism....... The professor quickly added the site to the DO NOT SITE, SITES, LOL....... I can picture a bunch of 17 yr. old white kids who have never spent 10 minutes in the inner city, updating the site with the latest offerings.... Hahahahaha.... So many of the urban, hip hop culture generated words morph into totally different meanings after a few months.... They were using twerking in Wash DC back in the 90's, and it certainly didn't mean shaking your butt. It was more sexual in meaning back then.

There is no ghetto in Edmond, Oklahoma. If you think there is, you are naive. Bad things happen everywhere. At no point did I remotely suggest Edmond lacked child abuse, sexual abuse, meth, drugs or domestic violence. If the occurrence of those things made somewhere a ghetto our entire nation would be a ghetto (or darn close).

When I lived in Edmond there was a mass murder at the post office.

When you have apartment complexes controlled by gangbangers and drug dealers, no matter how nice it looks passing by on the streets, you have a ghetto area. If you have a trailer park with about 40% of the residents without water/electric, no matter how nice the surrounding area, you have a ghetto. It just depends on your/my definition of ghetto. In my world, it's not just a black area with projects. It's an area where residents feel unsafe due to a presence of bad characters. Like this ghetto complex in EDMOND, Ok......


Edmond police raid another apartment complex looking for drugs
Chapel Ridge Apartments in the 500 block of W 15 was the site of the second drug bust in two days in Edmond, police spokeswoman Glynda Chu said.

A day after a roundup at a north Edmond complex, law officers hit Chapel Ridge Apartments in the 500 block of W 15th Street, police spokeswoman Glynda Chu said.

Thirteen people were taken into custody and 12 were booked Thursday at Edmond city jail, Chu said.

Bobby Barnes, 28, Bruce Carter, 20, Antryon Clark, 21, Celeste Fenton, 24, Robert Watkins, 19, Raven Summers, 18, and Drew Summers, 22, were all booked on complaints of possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Patrick Limon, 24, Laya Muhammad, 35, and Andrew Roberts, 22, were arrested on warrants. Alfred Robinson, 33, and Robert Watkins, 19, were booked on complaints of possession of drug paraphernalia. Echele Thomas, 19, was arrested on a warrant and a complaint of possession of marijuana.

Apartments targeted

The arrests are part of an ongoing investigation into illegal drug activity at Edmond apartment complexes, Chu said

Wednesday, six people were arrested at Rolling Green Apartments, 400 E Danforth Road, where marijuana, steroids and guns were found.

"This morning was the same type of raid as the sweep we did yesterday," Chu said.

"It was basically due to the same complaints we'd had at both apartments about increased gang activity. We felt like action was needed."

Chu said a helicopter from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement was used to assist law officers on the ground.

She would not comment on the possibility of future raids.

"We have to keep these things quiet or they're not effective," she said.



There are apartment complexes in Edmond, Ok where drug dealers, white and black, between 18-25 stand in the parking lot and sell drugs. I was in one yesterday checking on one of our mentally ill patients who lives there. Each time we roll up in our company vehicles, they are there, baseball hats on, pants sagging, patrolling the parking lot. They stare you down, make random statements about police looking caseworkers, etc...

They scare me about 0.0000000%, but some of the young nurses and caseworkers I work with are really scared of the punks. I have never seen the complex on the 10:00pm news, but I see the dealers each time I go to the woman's home. In my opinion that is ghetto, because the other residents are afraid to confront the kids.... Their major source of wed sales comes right off the campus at UCO.......Many of them active athletes.


Of course Edmond isn't Chicago, Detroit, or LA, but it's not Mother Teresa's back yard either.

Edmond also has a high amount of illegal pills being sold daily to high school and college aged kids. It is fertile ground because 1) young kids there have access to money, and 2) Most dealers recognize Edmond doesn't want to admit they have any issues, so they quietly ignore the fact pills are plentiful on their high school campuses.........

I dealt with MANY high school aged pill heads at North, Sante Fe, and Memorial. When we worked with them, most told us they got the piulls at school, from parent's stash, or from friends, and no one wanted it known they were on pills. Parents find out, and the story goes away. It's the rich area way.....

With all that said, Edmond is a great place to raise a family, if that type of environment suites you, but it's not without it's hidden secrets. Cops, social workers, and people in the life know where the areas are.....

Drug Bureau: Cartel activity increases in Oklahoma

Mark Schlachtenhaufen The Edmond Sun

EDMOND — Mexican cartel-related activity is increasing in Oklahoma, a prominent drug distribution hub along with several other states near the border, an official said.

Given recent news headlines including an Edmond traffic stop netting 8.2 pounds of marijuana and the “Cathouse” case testimony about Mexican drug cartels and $100,000 drug deals you may be wondering about the current local situation.

A number of Mexican cartels — The Gulf Cartel Federation, Juarez Cartel, an association of cartels known as the “Federation” and the Tijuana Cartel Federation — control regions bordering the United States, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

Mark Woodward, spokesman for the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics, said Oklahoma is a destination and transit area for shipments of drugs coming from Mexico.

On a scale of 1-10, with the low end being quiet town USA and 10 being at the high end of Mexican cartel-related drug activity, Oklahoma is currently a 10 along with other states near the border with Mexico, Woodward said.

“It’s frightening because of the amount of drugs and the violence of those cartels,” he said. “These same people are operating in Oklahoma.”

Drug trafficking organizations and criminal groups use Oklahoma’s intersecting interstate highways to transport illicit drugs into and through the state, Woodward said.

Drug dealers look for locations where neighbors do not communicate and isolate themselves, according to the OBN. Money is a key element for the drug dealer. If a dealer establishes a drug house in a neighborhood where youth and adults have money to buy drugs, business will thrive. Woodward said it’s likely the southwest Oklahoma City house mentioned in the “Cathouse” case was a probable “stash house.”

“Drug and property crime rates skyrocket when drug dealers move into neighborhoods,” Woodward said. “Stolen property and identity theft are frequent means of feeding an addiction.”

Glynda Chu, spokeswoman for the Edmond Police Department, said the level of Mexican drug cartel-related activity in Edmond is currently low to moderate. Through drug investigations, the agency is continually gaining knowledge of this activity, and how drugs are coming into the community, Chu said.

“The more knowledge we have, the more effective our arrests will be,” Chu said. “We are concerned about any distribution of drugs in Edmond.”

Edmond Police are equally concerned about drugs whether they are coming from Mexico or western states like California and Colorado, which have legalized medical marijuana more potent than that coming from Mexico, Chu said.

Additionally, the majority of marijuana arrests in Edmond have involved medical or hydro marijuana, Chu said. Police also are concerned about prescription medication commonly being abused by teens and young adults, she said.

“While the effective pseudoephedrine law in Oklahoma has created a decline in meth labs in the state, we have found the Mexican cartels have stepped up production to fill that void,” Chu said.

Chu said Edmond residents are a part of the solution to the local drug problem, and police rely on information obtained from concerned citizens.

Chu encouraged anyone with information about illegal drug activity, or any other illegal activity, to text 625-TEXT (625-8398), the Police Department’s text tip line. It is anonymous and no one in the agency will know from where it came, she said.

Residents should not be disappointed if an arrest isn’t made immediately after submitting a tip, Chu said. Investigations take time, and police want to make sure they have a solid case before making an arrest, she said.

“Parents also need to check their children’s text messages on their phones, and speak to them about the dangers of not only street drugs, but the abuse of prescription medication and new experimental drugs arriving every day,” Chu said.

Edmond is fighting the drug problem by developing informants and various information sources, obtaining search warrants and working with the OBN and DEA, Chu said.

Oklahoma City, location of the “stash house,” is also aggressively combating drugs.

Oklahoma City Police Capt. Patrick Stewart said his department is partnering with other agencies and uses strategies at the street level and gang level, and has units for large-scale anti-drug operations.

It's in all of our cities and towns. Some worse than others, but it's there. I cut through Nichols Hills almost every day on my home to the Village. I see the same 2 girls walking the beat, thumbing at cars. They are obviously prostituting in NICHOLS HILLS........One drug cartel, one small gang, or one sex trafficking organization can ruin a good neighborhood quickly......

I guess the next thing you tell us is that there is gambling in Casablanca.
 
Stay on topic.....

I'm not sure that it is me that is jumping the rails here. The topic was Stevie getting arrested. Who cares what you think about hookers in Nichole Hills or pill poppers at UCO. How's that for a topic change.

I know you like to argue. I was joking with you. I was actually making fun of myself for getting off topic. Maybe I should have added......:D or :ez-laugh:


Sorry for the hijack guys. Back to Stevie... I'm off my box.
