USF's Ford arrested for driving without license

Driving infractions have caught up with USF running back Mike Ford again, as the junior was arrested on campus early Thursday morning and booked on a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license.

Ford was arrested by University police at 12:42 a.m. and was released from the Orient Road jail on $250 bond at 5:58 a.m., notable because this happened in the middle of final exam week for USF's fall semester.

Ford, who rushed for a season-high 74 yards and a touchdown Saturday in USF's loss at Connecticut, has gotten in similar trouble before. He turned himself in to Sarasota police in 2007 on an outstanding warrant issued after he missed a court date for driving without a valid license or registration. This is at least the fourth time Ford has been cited for driving without a valid license of registration.

Ford, 23, was suspended for the first two games of the season for an unspecified violation of team rules. He has rushed for 243 yards and five touchdowns, and with senior Mo Plancher having recent problems with fumbles, he could have a larger role in USF's next game, against Northern Illinois on Jan. 2 in the International Bowl in Toronto.

Here is more information on Ford's arrest from mugshots.tampabay.com. USF coach Jim Leavitt could not be immediately reached for comment, but the Bulls are expected to return to practice Thursday afternoon.

Read closer einstien. This is the 4th time. And the State of Florida as well as every other state thinks its a big deal. I don't get will all of you "big deal" people. I have never even been close to being arrrested or with anyone who was arrested in my 33 years on this earth so I don't quite understand how getting arrested is no big deal.

:Duh

WTF how hard is it to go down and get a license... wonder if he pays his taxes... this is a big deal he either has a suspended license or is just to dumb to go an get one.

:nope

[zarnozdabull]

lol he still has a pretty intimidating look

[Rizman]

He has problems and he will not get help to grow up and deal with his internal issues.  So, instead he continues to make bad choices in his life and throw his opportunities away.

Usually, the too lazy or dumb to go down to get a license is a sign of worse problems.

Well, get ready for the Jamar Taylor and lindsey lamar show next year.

[E.T.]

He's probably hit with the "abitual offender" rule and lose his license for 5 years.

After a year, he can get it for work, church, shopping, etc.

It's a big deal for him, not for USF.
