Tim Jordan arrested

[golfballs]

Literally 100% of this thread either owns a gun or smokes weed

I’d go as far as to project that a good 30% chunk probably does both.

Getting caught sucks but it’s not like he copped an aggravated assault w a deadly weapon. Sucks it’s a felony in Florida though.

Tim Jordan did nothing wrong

Ok I’ll play the devil’s advocate: if marijuana was legal he wouldn’t need the gun. Or the marijuana.

 

[901 Orange]

Was he a Pruitt recruit?

No

 

[RockyTopTexas]

welp now the RB room is even smaller. Lenneth lets ride!

 

[Volfan76]

One of the preferred walk-ons just got their shot!

 

[Dudleys87]

In the Tyler Smith case the gun had an altered serial number. I’m not a big gun guy but logic tells me that is a huge no no

Big big no no.

The difference is that most of us carry legally. He wasn't charged with owning a gun.

This is nothing more than an opportunity to redeem himself. Ask JJ about second chances. I’m rootin’ for the young man.

I hate that Jauan is always referenced when some player gets arrested. Jauan was stupidly kicked off because he just said out loud what everybody knew about an incompetent and petty coaching staff. He was never arrested

I don't think this logic helps very much. The bottom line is that it isn't legal where he was caught with it and ignorance of the law (and I'm sure he knew the local law, anyway) is no excuse for breaking it.

Tim Jordan isn't valuable enough as a player for the UT coaching staff to burn any political capital over. I will be shocked if he isn't dismissed.

 

[VolForLife83]

With just weed...probably back soon; with the gun charge...you are exactly right! Strange to me how folks will carry a gun without a permit as easy as permits are to get.

Tim picked the wrong place as he was arrested in the FL County where the Sheriff is Grady Judd. Can't stand the dude as there is not too many days his ugly face does not appear on Tampa News.

Arrested in Florida at 5am with a 17 year old in the car with him, with a loaded gun, marijuana, scales, and little bags.

Does not sound good

We had a BAMA OL caught similarly in Lousisiana a few years ago but his drug was more serious than weed. It went away. This can go away if the will to make it so is there.

Right, and was stated that if he were caught in Tennessee we’d be talking about a misdemeanor with a maximum 11 & 29.

My only point is that this isn’t quite a damning or condemning offense imo.

 

[livefaith]

The fact that "he could not be caught after running from police" is not included in this story, should be the most concerning problem for Vol fans.

 

[manUTe__VOL]

Scale? Bags? Gun?

Sounds like he was dealing. Opinion on pot legality aside, that's pretty irredeemable for coming back to UT, I'd say.

You ever heard of Hess Hall

Yes 100%.

Plus, consider how much good Josie Wales did for everything using non-permit concealed carry.

 

[Rickyvol77]

Tim Jordan did nothing wrong

Except dealing drugs with a minor

You are incorrect

 

[Rickyvol77]

Ok I’ll play the devil’s advocate: if marijuana was legal he wouldn’t need the gun. Or the marijuana.

So he was dealing drugs because it was illegal?

 

[greenbacknative]

I think we are in the "If you can't be a good example, you can, at least, be horrible warning " territory. l'il weed is one thing...a gun. Jackpot!

with a teenager in the car too....bye

 

[tn88volfan]

Loaded gun and marijuana

Tennessee Vols running back Tim Jordan arrested with loaded gun, marijuana, police say

Maybe he will get the same DA that Hootie Jones and Cam Robinson got: "stolen weapons and drug charges" "dropped because they had to practice football outside without air conditioning"

 

[djohnnyg]

He's gone. We move on. Not the end of the world.

 

[bray2milton]

In before the holier than thou chumps......wait....that’s impossible.

Give him a second chance

 

[BigOrangeCrush32]

Correct me if I'm wrong @lawgator1, but in the state of Florida, he could have the gun in the car, but not on his person, if it was at least a 3 step process to get it firing ready. I.e. in the middle console while in the locked holster. So step 1, open console, step 2, pick it up and step 3, get out of holster. This is if you don't have a CCW.
