Violence Against the Pregnant A football player for the Miami Hurricanes
was arrested in 2021 after he beat up his pregnant girlfriend.
His name is Avantae Williams, and he was arrested in July on a single count of aggravated battery
on a pregnant woman.
According to the arrest report, officers with the Miami-Dade Police Department arrived at
the apartment where Williams was living with his girlfriend.
They had been arguing because even though his girlfriend was pregnant with his child
they lived together, Williams was messing around with another woman.
When confronted with his treachery, the football player kicked his pregnant girlfriend out
of his apartment instead of owning up to what he did.
At least he gave her the courtesy of packing some stuff up before she left.
He went out for a bit, hoping that when he got back she would be gone.
But when he returned, his girlfriend – er, now ex-girlfriend – was still packing her
items into boxes.
He was so mad that he grabbed her by the hair and started throwing her around.
He then dragged her outside and threw her on the ground, and that was when the neighbors
called the cops.
Williams was ranked the top safety in the 2020 class.
But after it came to light what he had done, UM’s athletics department dismissed him
from the football program.
He was also suspended from all team activities.
In other words, he can look forward to never being a sports star ever again.

Bad Volleyball Players Two women’s volleyball players for FAU walked
into a fitting room at a Macy's retail store in Boca Raton back in 2017.
According to the Boca Raton Police Department, when they entered the fitting room, their
bags were pretty much empty.
But when they walked out, their bags were practically bursting.
Emily Hise and Koreen Varney were arrested by the police for shoplifting.
They tried to get away with over $1400 in women's activewear clothing, along with a
few choice pieces of Calvin Klein.
They were busted by the asset protection representative at the retail store, who found the two young
girls incredibly suspicious.
They were carrying bags that were too big, they were acting dodgy, and they were clearly
stuffing clothes into their bags while in the fitting rooms.
The young women were arrested and charged with grand theft, then kicked out of Macy's
forever.
But all these years later, the horrible mistake of shoplifting hasn't completely ruined their
lives.
In fact, it actually looks like getting caught helped to push the young women back on the
right path.

Spitting on the Fans UCLA basketball player Mac Etienne got in
some big trouble in early 2022 for allegedly spitting on fans during a game!
It's important to note the fans were from the rival team, but it was still a pretty
unsportsmanlike thing to do.
It happened after his team lost to the University of Arizona at the McKale Center in Tucson.
After he lost, as he was returning to the locker room, he started spitting on the fans.
Then once he was in the locker room, the university police officers detained him for assault with
the intent to injure, provoke or insult another person.
He was arrested and taken away, though the police never put him in handcuffs.
It's a weird situation, and one that is still ongoing.
As of right now, Mac has pleaded not guilty to what became a misdemeanor assault charge.
The case will probably be going on for the better part of the rest of 2022.

The 2006 Murder of Bryan Pata In 2021, an arrest was finally made in the
case of Bryan Pata, the murdered football player for the University of Miami.
He was shot to death almost 15 years ago outside his apartment building in 2006.
His murder had gone unsolved ever since.
But now, police in Miami have finally confirmed that it was Rashaun Jones, Bryan Pata’s
teammate from between 2004 to 2006, who did the killing.
According to the detectives on the case, Bryan – just 22 years old at the time and an NFL
hopeful, was walking from his car to the staircase of his apartment building on November 7.
As he approached the building, he was shot in the back of the head.
It was brutal, but at least he didn't feel any pain.
There was no suffering, or even fear.
He was just walking, and then he wasn’t alive any longer.
After the murder, Bryan’s family was in disarray.
Especially because they had a pretty strong hunch that Rashaun Jones was responsible.
But the police failed to put the evidence together that they needed to make an arrest.
It took them a decade and a half to finally build up a case against him.
The case basically consisted of phone records, a ping from a cell phone tower placing him
at the scene of the homicide, and an eyewitness who identified Jones in a lineup.
Do you think 15 years is way too long to put together what honestly seems like a pretty
simple case of brazen public murder?

A Homeless Man with a Knife Celia Barquin Arozamena was a star college
golfer from Spain who met her untimely end while playing a round near her campus in Iowa.
It happened back in September of 2018.
Celia was finishing her degree at Iowa State University and was one of the best golfers
in school.
She had been working toward joining the pro tour and was almost certainly guaranteed a
spot.
But on Monday morning when she went to play her round alone, she ran into somebody she
had never expected.
A homeless man had wandered onto the golf course with a knife.
He stabbed Celia to death and then chucked her body in a pond.
Her corpse was only discovered when another player found her abandoned golf bag and followed
the trail of carnage.
A man named Collin Daniel Richards, just 22 and already known to police for his history
of violence, was arrested shortly after and charged with murder.
According to investigators, Richards had an urge to kill a woman.
That was his only motive.
He had wandered out from his homeless encampment near the golf course until he stumbled upon
Celia, who just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Murder at a Gas Station A former football player for the University
of Georgia has been charged for a brutal shooting death that happened in March of 2021.
His name is Ahkil Nasir Crumpton, and he was the wide receiver for the Bulldogs in 2017
and 2018.
But in 2022, he was arrested in Philadelphia for murdering a gas station clerk!
Crompton walked into the gas station dressed entirely in black and holding a handgun.
He simply walked to the counter of the RaceTrac gas station near the outskirts of Watkinsville
and shot 23-year-old Elijah Wood to death.
It was cold-blooded murder.
Sadly, this is a tragic example of a promising career going straight down the toilet.
Crumpton had earned himself all-state and all-Catholic honors while playing football
at his high school.
Then he played in college in California, before being transferred over to Georgia.
He remained relatively successful until 2021, at which point he dropped out and didn't graduate.
After he left school, he became a murderer.
We still don't know why he shot Elijah, he didn’t even know him!
Elijah was working graveyard shift by himself when Crumpton walked up and shot him for no
reason.
In the security footage, you can see him committing this crime, walking back and forth a few times
in the store, and then leaving without taking a single thing.
It's been devastating for Elijah’s family, especially since it all seems so pointless.

Basketball Star Turned Murderer Teshaun Hightower was the Tulane college basketball
star who turned into a murderer.
The 22-year-old was arrested in April of 2020 on a homicide charge.
Up until the murder, he had been leading the Green Wave in scoring and had recently been
declared for the NBA draft.
But his dreams of stardom were shattered on April 8 when he got involved with a group
of people who committed a homicide in Stockbridge, Georgia.
The victim was Devante Anthony Long, dead from gunshot wounds after he was caught in
a violent confrontation.
According to reports, Teshaun was with a group of six men, including his brother, when they
confronted Devante.
Devante had apparently pistol-whipped one of Teshaun’s friends, and the confrontation
erupted in gunfire.
It’s unclear who exactly pulled the trigger, although Teshaun’s lawyer claims it was
his brother.
Whatever the case, and whoever pulled that trigger, all six men were involved in the
murder and they're all going down.
Hightower was immediately let go from his team and skipped over for the NBA draft.
He was just over one week away from getting into the NBA and he blew it to commit a murder.

The Bizarre Story of Nigel Brannon Austin Peay football player Nigel J. Ron Brannon
was arrested on charges of aggravated assault after he slashed another player's neck during
a fight over a room key.
It happened on July 22, 2021.
It was about 7:00 o'clock at night in the University Landing Apartments.
The victim and the football player, who happened to be roommates, were looking around for Brannon’s
key.
The key had seemingly got lost, and Brannon wouldn’t let his roommate leave until it
was found.
This turned into a really violent argument, at which point Brannon pulled out a knife.
When the man tried to leave the situation, Brannon slashed him across the neck and cut
his wrist.
Luckily, the victim was able to fight back, push Brannon out of his way, and sprint out
the door.
About 6 minutes later, the victim flagged down a Clarksville police officer and reported
what had happened.
He required stitches to his neck and had to get the deep laceration on his left wrist
sealed.
When the police asked Brannon what had happened, he said he was angry because he thought his
roommate stole the key to his room.
It proved to be a pretty terrible decision for Nigel.
He was suspended from the team – and things spiraled from there.
Shortly after this incident, on November 1, he was discovered dead in Oklahoma City.
According to the police, he was inside a vehicle with a man named Paris Tolver conducting illegal
activity.
Something went wrong between the two men and Paris pulled out a gun and shot him.
The ex-football player was killed and Paris was booked on first-degree murder.
Even though Nigel Brannon was clearly a troubled individual, this is still a tragic case.
He was a rising football star with a promising future, and it all started spiraling down
the drain the moment he let his anger get the better of him and picked up that knife.

An Unwanted Butt Slap Cleveland Brown wide receiver Odell Beckham
Jr. was issued an arrest warrant by the New Orleans police.
It was following a post-game celebration after LSU won the NCAA football championship in
2020.
It all started because a complaint came in that Beckham had behaved inappropriately at
the celebration.
He had slapped a woman on her behind while inside the LSU locker room at the Mercedes-Benz
Superdome.
It wasn't just any woman either, it was a police officer.
The officer whirled around and confronted Beckham about his inappropriate touching,
but he wasn't arrested at the time.
She decided later to file a complaint and go through with the arrest.
Beckham started at LSU before he was selected by the New York Giants, and later traded to
the Browns.
The arrest warrant fiasco was actually retracted before he got charged with anything.
He got away clean, but this should stand as a pretty good lesson not to slap a stranger’s
behind – even in a locker room.

A Weapon on Campus A Georgia football player was arrested in
November of 2021 on three felony charges related to property damage and carrying a weapon in
a safety zone.
His name is Nyland Green, and he was the freshman defensive tackle for the Bulldogs.
He was in the national top 100 in the 2021 signing class, and had appeared in three games
up until his arrest.
Here's what he did according to the University of Georgia Police Department report.
Security at the university responded to a complaint just after 4:00 o'clock in the morning
on Sunday, November 14.
A man was on campus with a gun dry firing it in the direction of another man.
Dry firing is when someone pulls the trigger but there are no bullets in the weapon.
It's not technically firing the weapon, but it's still extremely frowned upon – especially
on a school campus!
When the university police showed up, they found the football player in possession of
a BB gun.
It wasn’t quite as bad as a real gun, but still a weapon.
They also discovered a second BB gun hiding in his dorm room.
It was enough that the school officers wished to pursue criminal charges.
Then shortly after, in what appeared to be the result of a fit of rage, the police were
called yet again.
Nyland Green had smashed out some windows by shooting them with BB guns!
