Indiana radio announcer arrested before IU-Purdue tipoff

Let's see ... cross one name off my 25th high school reunion list.

 

You're a Lawrence North guy?

I *knew* I had you figured for a total prick.

 

I was at LN B.C. (Before Cheating). Well, before blatant cheating, anyway.

Leary and I have crossed paths on the job a few times and had a few chats, but we weren't close in high school. He did cheat off of me on an English test once ... that's when I knew he was a stone-cold felon!

Actually, he was a damn good high school player who lucked out as a pawn in Knight's quest to get Montross. If memory serves, he was going to commit to Minnesota until Knight got in his ear.

I'm actually kind of surprised, and a bit saddened, to hear this. He's not a bad guy, but that's some pretty damning shit he's facing.

As damning as the charges are, they aren't as funny as the comments on that Indy Star story. It's like the essence of Hoosier stupidity was scraped up and served on a platter. Stuff like this ...

"Maybe if he hadn't been so quick to turn on Coach Knight when he was let go from IU, this wouldn't have happened. If it weren't for Coach Knight, TL would be nothing. There's something to be said about loyalty and how you should own a bit of gratitiude to those that do things for you."

Salute the General!

 

I don't know that felon is the word I would have used after "stone-cold" there...

 

Horseshit. I don't care how many counts and how many felonies. If they're non-violent, give the guy a chance to turn himself in. These cops were probably high-fiving later on and bragging about how they marched into Assembly Hall and busted a former IU basketball player.

I doubt that. It can't be politically advantageous to arrest a former Hoosier at Assembly Hall right before a game.

 

Maybe he was wearing a Saints jersey.

 

This.

It was a non-violent crime, which means, it wasn't life or death that this guy be arrested immediately. They knew where he was, they could have waited to arrest him without making a spectacle out of it.

 

For the record, Zag, ex-teammate Brian Evans gave up Leary after the latter left his firm to work for ex-Colt Ken Dilger -- WHO WENT TO THE SAME HIGH SCHOOL AS JAY CUTLER!!!!!

 

Real estate fraud is a helluva long way from drug dealing. Get real.

 

But if you're a cop, you're given the chance to turn yourself in on felony charges. Even if those felony charges include murder -

You people really don't want to see the difference between a violent crime and real estate fraud?
