Surprising and shocking news: Another Florida Gators football player arrested!

GAINESVILLE -- So, I get back from covering the Daytona 500 and, guess what, another Florida Gators football player has been arrested. Defensive tackle Gary Brown this time. The 19-year-old redshirt freshman was busted in Alachua County on Sunday morning for allegedly slapping one woman and scratching another.

[PICTURED, Gators defensive tackle Gary Brown modeling the Florida football team's alternate home jersey.]

The violence happened at a party. Apparently two women asked people to leave and Brown's inner idiot expressed itself. Brown was booked in Alachua County jail on two counts of misdemeanor battery. The charges will likely be reduced, spring practice begins March 17 and yada, yada, yada. Alabama steamrolled Florida's rush defense in the Southeastern Conference championship game.

Brown was released from jail on Monday. Acting UF football coach Steve Addazio suspended Brown from team activities. UF coach Urban Meyer is currently taking a medical leave of absence.

By official count, this is the 12,374th arrest of a Florida football player in the last year. An official count of the Gators' arrest total during the Urban Meyer era is not available simply because the only people who can count that high are currently working to fix the space station and the global economy.

Florida coach Urban Meyer is pretty smart but he made a mistake a few years ago by setting moral standards for his football players and then making those standards public. One of Meyer's tenets of coaching, one of the University of Florida football team's reason for being, according to Meyer, is to treat women with respect. Should be interesting to see how Meyer disciplines Brown. Meanwhile, Meyer has one more reason to throw up his hands and quit coaching all together.

Gators are two over the scholarship limit. Have to cut or have two of them transfer...Brown's gone if these charges are legit, IMO.

Wow Jo, Your either tired of reporting about gator arrests or this is no big deal. You know, boys will be boys. Wich one is it.

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

Obviously, by the tone of this blog, I'm pretty SICK AND TIRED of covering Florida football arrests!

-jo-

[When Will It End.]

Leave it to the gators to get to the scholarship limit by way of incarceration. Way to represent U Felony.

[The []_[]]

Thats what I thought. Cant wait for the Florida faithful to start spinning this one in 3 - 2 - 1.......

[emilio]

so don't jo, do what your boy urban does: turn the other cheek. Or you can expect the player to take himself out of game as punishment.

[ReptilesRule]

Wow, pretty scathing report. Look, I'm pretty sick of hearing about this crap too but it's not a Gator exclusive. Checked the University of Tennessee lately?? But that's not an excuse, some VERY clear and VERY harsh laws must be laid down for the team or we are going to go thru another year of nonsense. And no Gator wants that.

[emilio]

wasn't he a five star

OTFLMAO.........

[Rawpimple]

Should be interesting to see how Meyer disciplines Brown????

Just like the other 12,374, the AD will talk to a buddy, have the charges dropped or reduced, and then he will be at practice on March 17.

These incidents will eventually catch up to the University but not Urban, he will be long gone while the University suffers through the death penalty.

[NFL SECOND TEAMERS THATS UFELONS]

OH WELL YET ANOTHER FIVE STAR ARREST URBAN CYRER WILL SUSPEND HIM A HALF A PLAY AND GAYWHORE CANESVILLE WILL CELEBRATE OH YEA FYI:Tebow is a much slower mike vick; another lefty who sucks as a passer lamo 8=======D CHOKE ON IT

another day, another gator football player arrested. I'm glad Meyer recruits classy kids. Just win you 4 and 5 star recruits, we'll take care of the pr.

[FZB]

Worry not Lizard fans, Urbie the fruit cake will not be blame at all...you see he is on sick leave .

the current coach in charge will take the Rap,
( no fun intended ) and life will be back to normal at gaysville, I think you guys are averaging what 1 arrest per month...what a fine human being Mr. Brown must be...

I hope even the most rabid Lizard supporters are getting tire of this ....what say U lizards ?

Florida coach Urban meyer has found an interesting way to get under the scholarship level. Transfer you say? Nope. We just wait untill one of our players gets INCARCERATED and believe you me we dont have to wait long.

Urban is looking into the current coaching regime as we speak. Addazio better tighten up and I mean quick. Urban wont stand for any players getting arrested.

[The []_[]]

Brown allegedly slapped one girl in the face, and scratched the other girl as she attempted to stop Brown. Neither victim’s injuries were serious enough to require medical attention.

Dude got into a purse fight with two chicks. This is not the type of player the gators recruit. Give me A AK-47 shootin baller any day of the week.

Breaking news !!!!

Urbie the fruit cake just made a statement moments ago from he's suite at the Chattahoochee mental hospital were he is recuperating ......and I quote.

Lets all not jump to conclusions here, maybe the young lady in question had it coming, besides, this is NOT MY RECRUIT, this is one of Ron Zook's kids.

I hear Meyer is just gonna go with those prison issue stripes next year for uni's cause its easier to get them in the game after they come right out of the slammer.

Truth be told I think gator fans are even tired of this crap. They need to get this stuff straightend out and quick or the NCAA will be lurking in the shadows. If their not allready.

[He "Scratched" her eyes out and pulled her weave]

Gary Brown sure looks the part but A purse fight? Some one needs to tell him that this will not gain him any street "cred".

[NigeianCane]

what a mug shot! dude looks like silverback!

[Mark "Crimson Crier" Ingram]

It's unfortunate that Gator players continue to screw up their chances for a quality education and a chance in the NFL, but at least Florida does not lead the SEC, because the University of Georgia Curdawgs have well over 30 arrest during the same time period.

[Super Cop]

This just in, according to anonymous sources on a hurricanes blog, 2 Gators were caught on camera in the express line at Publix with 11 and 12 items each (respectively). It was also noted that when confronted by other patrons, one Gator called a patron a "doo-doo" head while the other read the Enquirer (without paying) prior to putting it back on the magazine rack.

Coaches noted that both un-named players are to be suspended and given coody shots.

The real problem occured after being confronted by the other patrons the gator players performed an old fashioned purse beat down on them. Then scratched their eyes out while tugging on their weaves.

The tradition continues. Maybe UF can be a dynasty at arrests.

[FZB]

Hey guys, check out how really corrupt the head coach of the lizards is...

http://articles.orlandosentinel.com/2009-06-14/sports/florida_1_uf-johnson-gainesville

[Dru2012]

If you (or any of your like-minded readers, the South Fla. Gator-haters you cater to) had bothered to do any actual journalism, you would have learned that Brown was already in the doghouse for his poor work-ethic and general laziness; without a wholesale attitude change, not to mention a renewed dedication to strength-and-conditioning (which in Brown's case has apparently been completely lacking until now), with all the incoming talent this red-shirt freshman was about to have a hard time making it to third-string on the depth chart. Now he may very well be headed to Transferville, another DT who didn't pan out. Coach Meyer will give a young man second chances if/when he shows he wants it badly enough, and has the character and determination to face his demons and flaws and do the work required on the long road back to his coaches' and teammates' trust. Otherwise, he's just taking up valuable space.

[The []__[] SUKKKKKKKKKKKKs]

Brown should get at least five years hardtime for the scuffle.

Regardless, UM STILL SUKKKS
4th place ACC CHUMPS

[Dru2012]

P.S. Of course, this won't prevent Brown from eventually playing in the SEC. No matter how badly you screw up, there's always some other less-discerning conference member willing to take a chance on physical talent. Auburn supporters are in no more position to crow about this than many others who quietly pick up our ill-behaved cast-offs. Maybe Cam Newton really HAS completely changed from the thief and weasel who threw away his scholarship and the promise of possible Gator-greatness with the stolen laptop he pitched out a high-rise window rather than face the police (and let the owner get it back in one, un-smashed piece). The Tigers are staking their immediate future on it, and trumpeting it as a "great juco pickup".

[FZB]

Hey Dru2012, so you're saying since this guy is not really that good, urbie the fruit cake should go ahead and set an example of the guy.

but on the other hand , if the guy was a stud, he should get a second or even a third chance ?

can you say double standard ?...you are a douche

[Miami native by birth, gator by the Grace of God]

Hey you know what? yeah our players have become a bunch of thugs, but we win football games. THERE I SAID IT!

UM had a bunch of thugs during their good years and now we do too.

We took your Championships and now, I guess as much as I hate to say it I must, we'll take your swagger too. (We need that swagger crap whatever it means if our team is ghetto right?)

JO - don't let it get to you. One of those don't kill the messenger type situations.

[The []_[]]

Huntley, Thanks for being a part of the team. Urban Meyer.

A part of the team? Without him florida would not have A team.

[drapp88]

with the aggressive nature of the sport combined with maturity levels (or lack thereof) of teens/young 20 somethings, one has to expect a few altercations/run-ins with the law to take place. The amount of arrests UF has produced over the last 5 years is however quite embarrassing. It's the fact that most players get big heads for being on such a team and think they can get away with making poor decisions. And this goes for numerous teams in the NCAA, every team has had their handfuls of trouble.

I can only say to myself that at least the majority of them are petty, and not serious offenses like rape, armed robberies, manslaughter, etc.

[gator fan, but still lauging my ass off at this!]

Maybe it's the kush talking. Have you looked at the time? Relax buddy.

Our players will keep on getting arrested.

The Canes will still stink.

I was only kidding about taking your swagger. We all know you have nothing else left.

[Ambulance Chaser Johnson]

That just stinks of corruption.

"Johnson declined comment on his fees but said he complies with NCAA rules. He also has worked pro bono in the past, he said."

I bet the guys phone number is readily available in the dorms. What a joke.

LMFAO: "23 of the 24 football-related legal cases the Orlando Sentinel documented during Meyer's four years as Florida's head coach."
I challenge you lizards, especially you Miami dumbass by birth, to find 24 UM arrests in four years.

Johnson should represent that UF student who got punked out by the Alabama chick. Getting b**ch slapped on National TV, during the SEC Championship Game, has to be criminal.

I agree, those particular cases are inexcusable and just wrong. I suppose I am being optimistic about it, because being apart of gator nation/gator alum this is honestly sickening. It is becoming a mockery and bringing down UF's image as a whole. But the majority HAVE been juvenile and just immature "I'm above the law" offenses

I agree with you drapp. Some of the stuff has been typical college trouble making. The problem is Quite A bit has been very serious stuff. The gator players cant afford even A parking ticket at this point in time. Even with the spot light on them they just dont seem to get it and untill the administration drops the hammer on these kids it will continue to be status quo. The real problem is at the top.

I think the players get A lot more leeway in these matters. Do you think the athletic department gets Huntley on the case for Susie in your biology class when she gets drunk and falls asleep at A red light. No, she is on her own. I would say the majority of petty things that would get A regular student suspended gets swept under the rug for football players.

[John B.]

I can only speak for my experience and when we had parties, more often than not the police were there at some point in the evening. The cops could've dragged any combination of us down town and processed us -- every weekend, but they didn't.

Funny, the guys that were tearing things up back then are now attorneys, doctors, and state legislators (scary right!).

Maybe the cops were different then, but I doubt 18-22 year olds are any different today.

[John B.]

The drinking age just changed to 21 my freshman year. I guess sensibilities were different then -- the party rule was always no blood, no foul.

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

John B.,

I feel where you're coming from on this, but there's a difference between Animal House and Jail House. I've done a lot of stupid things while drunk but never once hit, slapped, spit on, body slammed (against her will), scratched or kicked a woman. Disrespected, now that's a different story, but my mouth has always gotten me in trouble.

-jo-

[John B.]

I understand. It's been a while since I've been in G-ville and (to their credit) the University has put a lot of effort into shedding the party image it had back in the day.

OK so I had to check again myself at the list of arrests... and I realized maybe I was exaggerating bit with saying most were petty. There are quite a few serious charges... it is sickening. I didn't particularly say that Brown's charge wasn't serious either. Believe me, I feel that any violence toward women is just inexcusable and wrong. ...there's no need for the "trailer park trash" labeling

[JoeGoodyMiaHrld]

Ted,

Patchan will not compete in spring practice but should be ready by the fall, according to Meyer. As for Debose, his hamstring is coming along but it's a slow process. He has been cleared to run, which is steady progress. Before, he was only allowed to run in a pool. Debose will dress for spring but will be limited. I'd expect that he makes his full debut for preseason practice.
