Is this the type of behavior that a small mid-major college that specializes in one sport encourages? Xavier University’s star point guard Drew Lavender was busted this past weekend with disorderly conduct and possession of marijuana. Drew was just hanging out in the middle of an intersection and was chillin. He was probably waiting for the hot dog stand man to mosey up to the intersection and help him with the munchies. You can’t blame him for that.
After “the man” searched Drew and found some Mary Jane they took him to the pokey. He posted a $2,000 bond and was set free. Drew’s response to this situation:
“It was just a misunderstanding, but that's all I can say because my attorney told me I can't say too much about it.”
What part was the misunderstanding? The part where you wouldn’t get out of the intersection or maybe the fact that they found drugs on you? Either way, it sounds like the coppers probably misremembered what happened. I am on Drew’s side…pause…NOT (thanks Borat).
I can’t speak for anyone else, but who would send their kid to this type of institution? Drunken behavior, drug fuelled basketball players and nuns running around naked (those rumors are unfounded at this point). Until these student athletes have to face consequences for these ridiculous actions, they will never change. They should be required to live up to higher expectations because of who they are. It might not be fair, but hey, Lavender is going to sign a multi-million dollar contract to walk down the floor and toss a leather ball into a basket.
But, if Drew has the facts right, and it sounds like he does, this is all just a huge misunderstanding. Thank God.
