Never a good idea. I laughed at the part of finding him hiding under a car UCF wide receiver J.J. Worton was arrested and charged with felony resisting arrest with violence and felony battery on a peace officer early Sunday morning, according to jail records. Orange County jail records state Worton, a 20-year-old from Homestead, was attending a St. Patrick's Day block party outside of popular UCF area bar Knight Library when an Orange County Sheriff's deputy ordered him to leave the area. Worton cursed at the deputy dressed in his official uniform and refused his orders. A sheriff's deputy reported he placed his hands on Worton's arm, but Worton resisted and swung at the deputy with a fist in an attempt to punch him. The deputy evaded Worton's punch, and Worton ran south through the parking lot. After deputies searched the area, they found Worton hiding under a parked vehicle. He agreed to move out from under the vehicle. When the deputies attempted to place handcuffs on Worton, began to physically resist arrest. The deputy grabbed Worton by the waistband, and reported Worton "punched me in the face with a closed fist." Deputies forced Worton to the ground and deployed pepper spray to subdue him. Worton was booked under the name Jimmy Worton in the Orange County Jail early Sunday morning. He posted a bond for an undisclosed amount and was released from the jail later Sunday. Worton is a promising receiver who was projected to start for the Knights during the upcoming 2012 football season. "When I collect all of the facts and know exactly what took place, we will deal with this situation in an appropriate manner," UCF head football coach George O'Leary said in a statement released by the school's athletic association. - http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2012-03-18/sports/os-ucf-jj-worton-arrest-20120318_1_knight-library-deputy-read-iliana-lim-n-s-ucf ------ Its funny how ucif'ers are actually defending him on their message board and not wanting him to be kicked off the team. Hypocrites, as has already been shown MANY times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oct. 31, 2004: While a junior at Central Florida, Marshall is arrested at an Orlando Denny's restaurant on charges of assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, trespass and resisting arrest without violence.

Hypocrites, as has already been shown MANY times. If you haven't denied water to a dying sickle cell student, you really don't have to worry about being suspended from the team. UCF policy is clear on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
