2 Gators Suspended For First Football Game
POSTED: Tuesday, July 20, 2004
University of Florida football players Channing Crowder and Jarvis Herring will miss the Gators' Sept. 4 opener against Middle Tennessee State after being suspended for one game, according to a report.Crowder and Herring were suspended by the university for their involvement in an off-field incident earlier this summer, Local 6 News partner Florida Today reported Tuesday night.Crowder, a 6-foot-2, 241-pound linebacker from Atlanta, was a second-team all-SEC player last season after leading all freshmen nationally in tackles. Herring, a 5-11, 198-pound safety, played in 11 of 13 games last season, racking up 24 tackles.According to a Gainesville Police Department report, Crowder was arrested for disorderly conduct around 2 a.m. on May 16 and spent the rest of the night in jail. The incident took place at the Palace nightclub in downtown Gainesville, where the linebacker got into trouble last April, along with teammate Steven Harris for his involvement in fighting in the club parking lot.Crowder pleaded to lesser charges in the 2003 incident, paying court costs and fines and agreeing to six months of probation and counseling.It was Crowder's third brush with the law. Charges were dropped prior to his freshman season when he was the subject of a police investigation involving the destruction of rearview mirrors on several cars parked in Gainesville.According to the GPD report of the May incident, a policeman asked Crowder to leave after he got into an argument with an unknown male outside the club. He then started to walk across the street, stopped and started yelling at another man in the club parking lot."The defendant kept approaching the second male to fight him even after his friends were trying to hold him back," the report said of Crowder.When police approached what became a large crowd that had gathered around Crowder in the parking lot, the second male started running away from the scene. Crowder ran after him, chasing him for several blocks before catching him. By then, a second policeman caught Crowder and detained him.
