3A Cuero RB in big time trouble!

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Cuero's Jackson arrested for pot possession
BY MIKE FORMAN

Felony possession charges have been filed against Cuero running back Trent Jackson.

Jackson, 17, was arrested Friday, June 10, in Cuero and charged with possession of more than two ounces and less than four onces of marijuana in a drug-free zone.

The arrest came as a result of a traffic stop that occurred about 10:30 p.m. in the 700 block of East Clayton St. near an elementary school, according to the Cuero Police Department.

Police Captain Steven Ellis told the Cuero Record that as officers were questioning the occupants of the vehicle, they witnessed suspicious movement.

The officer said narcotics and paraphernalia were found during a search of the car and the four occupants were detained.

Jackson was released on a $15,000 bond.

Jackson set school records for rushing yards during his freshman and sophomore seasons.

Jackson earned all-state honors as a freshman and sophomore.

Jackson rushed for a school-record 385 yards against Calhoun last season before injuring his knee during Cuero's fifth game.

He missed the rest of the season.

[/quote]he'll probably get a 1 year sentence but serve 7 months if the judge drops the hammer down.

He will have to suffer the consequences for his actions, but he's still young and has time to pull his head out of his behind before he throws away his entire future.

Most colleges will take his bad choices into consideration, but he'll still be recruited based on his talent level alone.

I'm not sure. I think he'll be senior next year, if that's the case he may have to set out his senior year.

[Mr. Buddy Garrity]

Well i guess we all know he's not going to UT. Mack trying to keep a clean image as of late.

[purpleeagle]

Yes he can play with a felony. He can play on the prison team.
More than likely it will wind up being a state jail felony and he will receive 1 yr. in state jail.

Blue, if you were the judge and jury on this young man's case what you do?

[BLUEDOVE3]

Maintain a strict probationary period- one year or till graduation. Home to school and practice during weekdays. Attend a church and drug counseling. Keep grades up. Community service hours about 30 hours.
