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 woman’s 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, Davenport’s 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 didn’t 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.

In the NFL, you can be #1, but be careful where you do-do #2!

Well, it was a misunderstanding - what she actually said was "sit."

Thanks for the chuckle.. ya can't make this stuff up....LOL!
Reminds me of a childhood sleepover we had where a cousin became confused when he woke up needing to go in the night. He peed in the toybox. Next morning when another child went to retrieve a mask from the toybox... well you get the picture.

"Misunderstanding" bump.

Of course. You people are awfully cruel about all this - is there anyone here who can honestly say that this has never happened to them, that you thought you were in the bathroom when you were actually taking a dump in your own laundry? I'm sure that's happened to all of us...right?

Okay, so there's me, and...don't all hold your hands up at once now...and...me...and...okay, maybe it's just me and my man Najeh, then...

Martha Stwart could do a show on this. There must be a proper way to break into an apartment and leave your mark?

Yeah, I know guys who have urinated in closets before when they are drunk.

A friend of mine pi$$ed in my guinea pig's aquarium while he was three sheets to the wind...

Good thing there was a nice, thick layer of cedar shavings in the bottom. Can't imagine what it must have been like from the guinea pig's perspective.

Under the influence of much beer, I once regurgitated over the railing of a 2nd floor balcony, but never committed nuisance in anybody's laundry.
