I am guessing " Get The F*ck Out Of South Bend"

Damnit Sully, you spoiled the fun!

 

[dshans]

But Notre Dame is not in South Bend.

It abuts South Bend, but is a separate "entity."

Has its own zip code and everything ...

 

[ShawneeIrish]

He is starting to feel like a less talented version of Lawrence Phillips.

Well I did not really mean to the degree of offenses more just to the point of cannot stay out of his own way and is constantly having one run in with the law after another. Although the incident you are referring to is held in suspicion and more than a few believe it may have been self defense. Nonetheless Phillips did commit multiple violent offenses, including against women, so it was a poor comparison. Phillips was both a much better talent and had much more serious run ins with the law. Lawrence also came from a tragic background and Nebraska football and the revered Tom Osborne merely used his talent without any real effort to help him find his way in life or find a new path. A tragic life and story. Just came to my mind because Lawrence Phillips and Cecil the Diesel are always the first players I think of as unworldly talents who threw it all away due to criminal behavior.

Ah, in that instance I getcha

Thats what he meant. Get out of SB where there are real consequences and back into the ND bubble where the worst that happens is you get send to Community Standards.

This legitimately makes me sad. Hate seeing a guy waste his potential for a life of dumb petty crimes. Bruh, you go to ND....just behave reasonably well(stay away from the ganja and stealing stuff) and you'll be rewarded a hundredfold.

Arrested Friday for Possession in Whitley Co

Arrested Friday for Possession in Whitley Co

UPDATE: Former Irish football player Stepherson in jail for violating probation

By Angelo Di Carlo, Jason Krug, Karina Flores | Posted: Tue 12:25 AM, Jan 30, 2018 | Updated: Tue 6:10 PM, Jan 30, 2018

ROCHESTER, Ind. (WNDU) - A former wide receiver for the Notre Dame football team was arrested and taken into custody before his court hearing Tuesday morning.

Kevin Stepherson arrived at the Fulton County Courthouse in Rochester for a violation of his probation. Upon his arrival, he was arrested before stepping foot into the courtroom and taken to the Fulton County Law Enforcement Center.

Stepherson cannot post bond and will remain behind bars for at least a week while he awaits his next hearing on Tuesday, February 6.

This comes after multiple run-ins with the law over the last six weeks.

Stepherson was originally arrested for possession of marijuana in August of 2016 when he and four other teammates were pulled over in Fulton County. In March, Stepherson entered a plea to have his charges removed as long as he could stay out of trouble for one year. In June, the court accepted that plea for what's known as a conditional discharge.

But the former Irish wide receiver, who was kicked off the football team earlier this month, has not stayed out of trouble.

On December 14th, Stepherson was pulled over in Marshall County. He was later charged with possession of marijuana, speeding, and no valid driver's license. The next day, he was arrested for shoplifting a pair a pair of sweatpants from Macy's at the University Park Mall in Mishawaka. He was picked up walking out of the store wearing an stolen $59 pair of Nautica sweatpants he allegedly did not purchase. He's been charged with conversion, a class A misdemeanor from this incident. Both of those incidents were first reported by WNDU.

Then on Friday, Stepherson was arrested again for possession of marijuana, this time in Whitley County.

Fulton County prosecutors first filed a petition to revoke Stepherson's plea deal for conditional discharge on December 29th and have amended that petition a few times since then; including as recently as Monday, when they filed an amended two petition to terminate his conditional discharge.

A judge will decide on one of three options: continue Stepherson on the conditional discharge program, put him on probation, or terminate his conditional discharge and sentence him for time behind bars.

If sentenced, Stepherson could face up to a 180-day sentence and serve up to half of that time. Possession of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor.

He still faces charges for possession of marijuana in Marshall and Whitley counties as well as the theft charge out of St. Joseph County.

Despite the August arrest last year, Stepherson did not sit out a single game in 2016. He finished 2nd on the team in receiving.

While it was never acknowledged by Notre Dame, Stepherson was suspended for the first four games of 2017 for what sources tell NewsCenter 16 was a violation of team rules. He eventually returned to action and became one of Notre Dame's most reliable wide receivers, catching a team high five touchdowns during the most recent football season. Stepherson started three games, catching 19 total passes for 359 yards.

Former Irish wide receiver Kevin Stepherson was arrested Friday for possession of marijuana, hash and possession of paraphernalia in Whitley County, according to Irish Sports Daily who first reported the news.

The arrest is Stepherson’s fourth arrest in a fourth different Indiana county since his first arrest in August 2016 in Fulton County.

Stepherson to spend 5 more weeks in jail
https://www.diehards.com/notre-dame/former-notre-dame-wr-kevin-stepherson-spend-5-weeks-jail?utm_campaign=SF_NotreDameDieHards&utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social

Former Notre Dame wide receiver Kevin Stepherson denied violating his conditional discharge on Thursday morning at a Fulton County courthouse and was remanded back to jail again.

According to a report from Alex Wilcox of WNDU-TV, Stepherson will now have to remain in lockup until his next hearing on March 13. It’s been a devastating fall from grace for the one-time Irish big-play threat.

Stepherson caught 44 passes for 821 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons in the Notre Dame rotation. However, he was suspended from the Citrus Bowl and ultimately dismissed from the program after he landed a drug charge and was arrested for shoplifting in the same month.

Since the dismissal, his legal troubles have continued. He was arrested again in January for possession of marijuana, visiting a nuisance and possession of paraphernalia, which was his fourth total arrest.

That violated his probation and landed the Jacksonville, Fla., native in jail, where he’s remained ever since. Now, a once-promising career has been reduced to a lengthy stay in lockup for a kid who simply couldn’t get on the right track.

Stepherson was one of four Notre Dame players dismissed from the program after the bowl win against LSU. Running back Deon McIntosh, running back C.J. Holmes and defensive tackle Brandon Tiassum were also let go.

Focus on your health, young man.

No mistake is too great to honestly confront through change.

You have people pulling for you, including many a Notre Dame fan.

 

[T-Boone]

It is all pretty minor stuff. Except the disrespect to the court for breaches of parole conditions and such.
I don't know the ins and outs of college football programs like most of you. My question is: Is he any chance of getting on a college football team from here? The answer I want to hear is yes he still has a big chance to make it.

My guess would be 0% chance to ever be on the team again.....seems to be a magnet for bad decisions and trouble

On a team? Sure. Oklahoma would take him in a second. Many SEC teams would likely snag him up.

Players who can make a difference will always have second chances, even if they hit women in the face.

I still remember the video of Stepherson talking to the police office when they were caught (his first offense) and he sounded so young and scared. I really thought he was a good one who was caught in a bad situation.

He needs counseling and then I root for him to succeed. Would love to hear a success story about how he woke up after his incarceration.

Yep. Thats where I am at with it. All this stuff seems immature rather than straight up bad. Hopefully a month inside grows him up and he goes and makes a living off his talents.

Lulz at " a month inside."

He's done nothing that deserves confinement. All that's gonna do is piss him off more.

Not saying he should be on the ND roster ever again, but kicking him out of school and locking him up isn't teaching anyone anything.

How can you be so sure?

He obviously doesn't take stealing seriously. Maybe time in jail will be enough to make him understand that stealing is not to be taken lightly and you better have a healthy respect for the courts.

What he is doing is self-destructive. He and his family need to know why. The answer to that drives what needs done here. But it is obvious this is beyond the Scope of what ND can do with disciplinary action, and should no longer be engaged here except to provide his family support. This is well beyond teaching anyone anything.

Lulz @ "he's done nothing that deserves confinement"

He's violated probation multiple times and shoplifted. We must have different definitions of what constitutes acceptable behavior in society.

He continues to make the same exact mistake. He is a moron. And IMO shouldn't play another down of college football ever again.

What about the concept of consequence?
