Vonta Leach Arrested


According to The Robesonian, Vonta Leach was arrested this week for misdemeanor simple assault when he hit a man in the face with a beer bottle (link via HDH; thanks Chris).  Apparently there are two separate accounts of the story, and Leach claims that he was accosted and he then defended himself.

I love the Human Coke Machine, and so does the Robeson, NC area where Leach was arrested because of his extensive charity work in the area, which is his home.  I don't have near the amount of information necessary to even speculate on his guilt or innocence, but I hope this works out for him.

Total support for Vonta.

Obviously he just got a little zealous in blocking an underage kid from buying beer. I hope he is in a o=good hospital. Vonta is a good blocker (he’s kept me from getting laid on more than 5 occasions!).

No worries here..

Misdemeanor simple assault is a wrist slap if thats the charge he received. Technically there can be a small amount of jail time with it, but if he takes any plea whatsoever then he will get some probation and community service. Unfortunately I know from experience >.> but Leach probably won’t miss a game or practice day from this.

He’s lucky they didn’t charge him with a felony like aggravated assault (attacking someone with a weapon including a beer bottle) or battery (because he actually hit the guy). Those could give him multiple years in jail and would be much harder to make disappear.

Ryan Moats disagrees with your analysis

So you're saying that now I have to think of some witty Sig that will be applicable across all the SBN sites? Go TexanHornStroKets!
