Concealed carry? Dude, he was selling crack with two of his friends.

quote:

According to [sheriff’s office Capt. Jason] Rivarde, members of the JPSO narcotics division were at Meyers Boulevard and Field Street about 8 p.m. Friday investigating a report that men with handguns were peddling crack cocaine.

Deputies spotted Starks next to his car with two other men, Rivarde said. When deputies tried to detain the group, Rivarde said, Starks and another man took off while the third man stayed put.

Starks ignored “several verbal commands to stop,” but deputies caught up to him and handcuffed him after a brief struggle, Rivarde said.

Deputies said they found a loaded handgun in Starks’ backpack.

Haha I didn’t read all that! Just saw that he was caught with an illegal firearm.

Side note: how does an LSU football player get chased down by sheriff deputies?

Could’ve been intoxicated or on some kind of substance. Or he took off and got trapped by another deputy a few blocks down from the scene.

Yeah I'm wondering if the deputy has any eligibility left.

He had grade issues and qualified late as well. I think 2 years JUCO and maybe see where his head is. It might be worth not cutting all ties similar to how Tech did with Dakota Allen.

Hope he can turn it around and not let this define him. Good luck to the kid.

So it sounds like the “gun charge” was just carrying a concealed handgun without a permit.

All such laws are infringement upon the 2A so he didn’t actually do anything wrong.

Did you actually read, or did you just jump on to the one piece of the story you could comment your support on?

I read. The cocaine part demands some discipline since it can mess with your heart, not something you want while trying to compete at a high level.

But the gun thing is a non issue. Shall not be infringed.

It's sad when kids do stupid things. I never had a drug or gun charge but I did put myself in a position to be forced to join the military. Obviously kid has talent, unlike myself, and can right the ship and continue his career.

I called it A year and a half ago and knew he wouldn’t make it at LSU and even got banned for nearly a year for stating my concerns. The gun thing was minor in the grand scheme of things and LSU went out their way to help this kid be successful. He needs to grow up, but I wish him the best of luck going forward.

If Donte ever gets his mind right, he will play in the NFL. If he doesn’t, then he’ll serve hotdogs and cokes in NFL stadiums.

I taught in a Jefferson Parish middle school just before I retired three years ago. Our dean of students - responsible for discipline issues - had transferred over from Ehret H.S. His attitude was “Don’t bother me unless someone is in mortal danger.” Ehret had the reputation (still does) for being a school that was out of control. If I were Coach O, I would be hesitant to recruit any more athletes from that environment.
Oh, and that useless dean of students? He’s been elected to the Jefferson Parish School Board.
