Packers fullback Davenport arrested
Player accused of breaking into dorm, defecating in closet
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MIAMI, July 8 Green Bay Packers fullback Najeh Davenport was arrested Monday, accused of breaking into a university dormitory and defecating in a womans closet.
DAVENPORT, 23, SURRENDERED TO POLICE Monday and was charged with a second-degree felony count of burglary and a misdemeanor count of criminal mischief, said Richard Master, a Miami Shores police spokesman.
The former University of Miami player was wanted on a warrant issued in April. He was released Monday from a Miami-Dade County jail after posting a $6,500 bond. If convicted, he could be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison. This whole thing is a misunderstanding. Najeh had nothing to do with the situation, said Richard Sharpstein, Davenports attorney. According to police, Davenport crept into a dorm room at Barry University around 6 a.m. on April 1. A woman sleeping in the room, Mary McCarthy, told police she was startled by a strange sound and saw Davenport squatting in her closet. Davenport then allegedly defecated in a laundry basket, McCarthy told detectives. McCarthy told police she didnt know Davenport. Campus security identified the football player from a picture in the University of Miami yearbook.
Sharpstein said he was confident authorities would drop the charges against his client. The Packers released a statement Monday saying team officials have spoken to Davenport about the allegations. It would be inappropriate for us to comment further on this matter, however, until the legal system has run its course, the statement read. The 6-foot-2, 248-pound Davenport was selected by the Packers in the fourth round of the NFL draft.

I guess the age-old collegiate laundry basket question "is this REALLY dirty? [sniff]" is resolved without controversey.

second-degree felony count of burglaryWhat burglary?!?! The guy brings something and it's now called burglary? If you take things is it now considered giving?
To: zarf
Did he "take a dump?" Wouldn't it be more proper to say that he "left a dump?"
To: Rodney King
Somebody needs to tell this dude that if he wants to become the "Phantom S#!++er", the secret is to avoid detection and capture.
To: Rodney King
He misunderstood where she said the toilet was?
To: Rodney King
Najeh had nothing to do with the situation, said Richard Sharpstein, Davenports attorney. Should be an interesting lineup!
