Barrington arrested, faces more driving charges

USF sophomore Sam Barrington, expected to move into the starting lineup at middle linebacker and be one of the team’s defensive leaders, was arrested Wednesday afternoon on a misdemeanor charge of driving without a valid license.

Barrington spent almost five hours in jail after being pulled over near the intersection of Martin Luther King Boulevard and I-275 in Tampa. Barrington was released on a $250 bond shortly after 9 p.m. and will be due in court next month to face charges of multiple driving infractions.

Barrington’s arrest comes five days after former USF cornerback Jerome Murphy, a third-round pick of the St. Louis Rams in April’s NFL draft, was pulled over in Tampa and charged with driving without a valid license on Saturday afternoon.

The Bulls report for the start of fall practice a week from today.

Somehow I managed to get all the way through college (at USF) without getting arrested for ANYTHING. High school, too, for that matter. And for many years since - no arrests! I’m not sure I know anybody who HAS been arrested. Ever. For anything. Why is it that USF athletes get arrested several times a year?
