Is WOWK the ONLY tv station with the video of OJ Mayo being issued a citation for weed possession?

Saw the spread from the car on the video, and didn't necessarily look like a "small" amount of weed, as the prosecutor described in the interview.

he's a spoiled little kid.. thats why it was called "small" if that had been any other person they'd be parading him around showing off the "huge bust".

But no he's good with a basketball so he'll get off with a slap on the wrist.. still get his huge scholarship to a nice school where he wont even attend class and then move on to make a stupid amount of money in the nba until he gets in trouble again for sumthin stupid like this..

I don't know what paper you were reading, but:

Police: O.J. Mayo cited on marijuana charge

By Travis Hubbard, The (Huntington, W.Va) Herald-Dispatch
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. â€” Huntington High school basketball star O.J. Mayo was one of four young males cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana late Friday night, according to Cabell County Sheriff's Deputy Doug Adams.

Adams, who was working in a Cabell County Sheriff's drug task force unit assigned to serve a search warrant at a house on the 2200 block of 10th Avenue, said a suspicious car was pulled over with Mayo inside.

"This was unrelated, but the car kept circling the area and was stopped," Adams said. "Along with Mayo, there were three other people in the car. The driver had a small amount of marijuana on him, and in the back of the car in a spare set of shoes was more marijuana."

Inside the car were three adult men and one juvenile. Mayo, the 19-year-old Huntington High senior hoops star, was seated in the front passenger seat of the car that Adams described as a Cadillac.

He is considered one of the top prep basketball players in the United States.

Adams said all four individuals were cited with simple possession because none of the passengers claimed ownership of the marijuana. Adams did not recall the names of the three other passengers but said they were not Huntington High basketball players.

Mayo was not arrested or taken into custody. He will have to appear in Cabell Magistrate Court, but the date for his appearance could not be confirmed.

He transferred to Huntington last August for his senior year from North College Hill in Cincinnati, where he had been since spring of 2003.

The Huntington native had transferred in 2001 from Huntington's Cammack Middle School to Rose Hill Christian in Ashland, Ky., before the transfer to North College Hill.

Huntington High senior basketball star O.J. Mayo was in a car stopped by police for a traffic citation Friday night, according to a WOWK-TV report.

Cabell County prosecutor Chris Chiles said the driver, who was not Mayo, had a small amount of marijuana on him, and another small amount was found in the rear of the car. Mayo was in the car with three adults.

Nobody was arrested. At least one person was issued a citation to appear in magistrate court at a later date. Mayo declined to comment to WOWK

my fault i assumed that he wasnt cited when i read it... but it says "at least" so it is opened ended...

Here's a kid that has EVERYTHING going for him and he hangs out with a bad crowd... Makes you wish for the days of Jerry West...

I dont see nothin wrong with anyone smokin' herb... It just irritates me that the little bastard is going to literally have the good life handed to him and he's just laughing at it!, a judge should throw his spoiled ass behind bars for a week or so and then lets see how big and bad mister basketball star is.

And no, huntington doesnt have a hood, huntington IS a hood..

If I had a future as bright as the kid does you couldn't PAY me to come out of the house unless I was going to a game, period. What a moron. He should have never have put himself into that situation whether he is guilty or not.

Dave:

I agree with you... But when you are young and everything is handed to you and you are adored by fans, you lose touch with reality. This kid seems to be spoiled... I hope he cleans up his act... There are many stories about young phenoms who fall into the wrong crowd and destroy their lives...

How can anyone put together such a list and not include:

Randy Moss?

Mark Hallburn · Post by **Mark Hallburn** » Sun Mar 11, 2007 10:11 pm

I thought about Randy Moss. But I don't recall him ever being arrested for drug use. And though his career isn't going well with the Raiders, whose career is? The team is a total failure and I can't blame Moss for that.

The others on my list crashed and burned...

And let me add one more name: Len Bias...
