Not Again! PSU Players Caught Smoking the Ganja

Submitted by Charlie on May 4, 2009 – View Comments

After last year’s incident, you’d think that they’d be more discreet about it.  It turns out some kids never learn.

The CDT is reporting that police raided the room of 4 Nittany Lions the night of the Blue-White game after an RA called them to help break up a loud party.

Penn State University police searched the apartment where four football players reside on campus the night of the spring Blue/White game April 25, court papers say.

According to an application for a search warrant, police wrote that around 11:10 April 25, university police responded to apartment 4103 in the Nittany Apartments complex on campus to assist residence life with dispersing a loud party.

As soon as they entered the apartment, police say they could see marijuana “in plain view” in the kitchen and smell it throughout the apartment.

The police officer responding could smell the odor of burning marijuana as she approached the apartment, and knocked on the front door several times but received no answer, court papers say.

This is not good.  I’m not going to kill kids for smoking weed (seems like the twentieth time I’ve said that), but come on, guys.  At least be discrete.

We have an UPDATE: according to the Scout.com Premium Boards someone has come forward and claimed possession of the marijuana.  If Scout.com is correct, that person is not a Penn State player, and Daryll Clark was not involved.  We can only pray that they are correct.

Update #2: FightOnState is claiming that the residents listed in the search warrant do not match those we have above.  As always, we will stick to our story until it is proven otherwise. While it is possible that the student directory is wrong, we are confident in that source and in our other sources.

Update #3: We are repealing the part of the story which has come into question.  Though we feel that we had every right to print those names, and that they should have been correct, it seems now that we were misinformed.  We do not know, or claim to know, the current residents of Nittany Apartment 4103.

Update #4: In the story that never ends, we might finally have an positive ID on the players, and we were at least 2 for 4.  The Morning Call is reporting that the four players who live at Apartment 4103 are Devon Still, Stephfon Green, Eric Latimore, and Johnnie Troutman, but that none of the four have been charged…yet.

    We all knew that Clark was one ‘hit’ away from being sidelined. Too bad the red jersey couldn’t protect him in this case.

    NO!!! Please tell me its not Clark. Hyperventilating already on a Monday.

    And let me guess, Madeina or whatever his name is who is up for reelection will go after this like a pitbull. I mean football players and students DEFINITELY can’t be treated equally like residents. If this was the son or daughter of a local townie, think it wouldn’t be a harsh warning and some community service?
