Police report provides additional details into JaâMarley Riddle arrest
Riddle was arrested on charges of possession of more than one ounce of marijuana and possession of a Schedule 1 controlled substance, both of which are felonies. Riddle was also charged with speeding, a misdemeanor.
Comments
Not much in the way of additional information other than that he initially lied to Police about not having any marijuana in his car. That and he smelled like he fired one up while driving.
Defensive driving courses are of little concern when facing drug felonies.
Everyone knows, or should know, that I-95 is a major drug pipeline up the East Coast and the police watch it like a Hawk. Therefore, if you have contraband in your vehicle, it would behoove you to follow the speed limit to a "T". Otherwise, you ought to just shout "I have dope in my car, please pull me over Police." While we may need help or depth in the Secondary, I think this is a situation where you just have to "cut a man loose."
When I read the 1st article about this, I made the comment to my better half that I wouldn’t be suprised if it happened on I-95. It didn't state that in the original article it was on I-95, only that it happened in Glynn County, city of Brunswick. As you stated, I-95 is the major pipeline for distributing drugs all the way up the east coast. And again as you stated, if you're crazy enough to try doing that, you better follow all the highway rules to a "T". Unless you want to end up in a situation such as this. He brought this trouble upon himself with his bad decision(s), nobody except him can be blamed for his actions.
Sounds like distribution and the end of a promising football career….
Gone.
Anyone that has frequently driven the I95 corridor knows full well that between St Marys and Darien you don't speed, more tickets have been given out in that short stretch of road than probably anywhere else in Georgia. Sounds of Lynyrd Skynyrd ringing in my head…
Whiskey bottles and brand new cars…Oak tree, you're in my way
There's too much coke and too much smoke…Look what's going on inside you… Ooh, that smell
And Riddle being from the area……Oh, you a fool you!
Send him back to ECU.
Great job on the defensive driving course Kirby! Riddle was confident enough to drive 95 on 95.
May want to enroll the players in a logic and probability class. It is not logical to drive 95 mph with drugs in the car. Also the probability of being pulled over goes up exponentially with each 5 mph above the speed limit.
I still want to know how much weed before I weigh in. I do not want to be one of those that come to a conclusion that is basically an uninformed opinion on this or any event. It usually takes a couple of weeks or so for most of the facts to come out.
He isn't the first to be doing 95 mph and not the first with weed in the car either. There was no accident and no one was hurt. It does appear to show a severe lack of even just OK decision making, I mean wow.
I do not know this kid at all and I doubt any one commenting here does either. Never met him, don't know anyone that has met him. I do know young people do feel invincible most of the time and I assume having more money than you ever had at one time in your life, feeling like you are on top of the world, having a good time probably, can strongly influence doing something extremely dumb. So, I get that. Again, I do not know anything about the person this kid is. If he has any redeeming qualities or not. Maybe he does not. Maybe he is full of them. Kirby knows. Many of his team mates know. People that know him know. I do not. But Kirby does. He will make the tough decision. And yes it is tough because Kirby really enjoys helping mold players for life, and say what you want, but not just toss them away and and there is a chance that their life becomes a downward spiral to who knows where. He wants to develop them for off of the field. Not quit on them easily. Not at all. Just the opposite. And challenges, are the ones he wants and that are the most rewarding if he can get through.
So, yes a tough decision for him. But he has most all of the info in this kid, not me. He could keep him on the team and it backfire majorly. Or he could decide the kid is a good kid who needs some things in his life he never has had before and if that is needed, that is part of the journey, part of the deal with players at his UGA program. Love. And also very tough love. I get it. I really do. Do all you reasonably can to help young men that need it to grow into the man they will be for the rest of their lives.
Kirby could be the one and only man they ever have in their life that they respect enough to get on the right track. That is the real reward for Kirby, when all is said and done. Loving and developing boys into men and those relationships.
Speeding. Marijuana. Could be a whole lot worse. I still want to know how much though.
This is not exactly a situation that supports the pro recreational cannabis crowd. Operating a motor vehicle at an excessive rate of speed is one thing. Doing so while having “Pepe-le-Pew” & his entire family hiding in a backpack on your backseat is another!!!
Deputy Dawg: “Son. Do you have marijuana in the car?”
Buford the Dawg: “DUHhhhh. Ahhh let me see. Nope, nope, nopee, nope! DUHhhh. I’m the only dope in dis car!!”
It’s no wonder the Dawgs have stumbled in the playoffs the last few years. Coach is having to waste all his time teaching kids to drive. Add in the fact he not only has to manage the roster from a graduation, NIL,& Portal standpoint, he has to play “whack an idiot” based on whose been arrested, whose waiting for trial, vs whose been exonerated or sent to prison. Maybe instead of physical traits & abilities, we need to be giving these kids IQ & cognitive tests before offering scholarships!!
Young man in a car that reeks of marijuana. That's 90% of the cars in Atlanta.
The defensive driving course only addresses the mechanical activity of driving it does nothing to affect the decision-making processes that are getting these young men in trouble with the law.
Well, I certainly didn't know about I-95 before this but makes sense given the fact that there was another cop + a K9 in the vehicle. I don't like to judge, but there are MANY other situations from other players that deserve far more sympathy than this one. Smoking pot while driving? 95+ mph? Lying to the cop? Literally had a bag labelled marijuana??? All from a local, a Junior and someone who had just transferred up from East Carolina? Sorry, but this one should be classified as a no brainer. You're gone and a liability.
90%? You really believe that? Are you of the crowd that since "everybody" is doing it it must be okay? That would be a disasterous way to run law enforcement.
