Remember when former USC QB Todd Marinovich was arrested last August after walking naked and carrying drugs in an Orange County backyard? Marinovich is scheduled to have an arraignment hearing today on multiple misdemeanor charges and faces a maximum three-year prison sentence if convicted.
Here are the charges: Unlawful public nudity, attempted aggravated trespass of a dwelling, trespassing with intent to interfere with business, possession of controlled substance paraphernalia and possession of a controlled substance. There is also an infraction for possession of marijuana.
He sold his soul to the Raiders not a USC problem anymore
He sold his soul long before the Raiders. I’ll say a prayer for TM.
Poor guy – needle took the man.
The only one who can save him is….. him.
Good luck with that game plan – life is full of trap doors.
So what ? He’s the only one who can save himself
Poor guy needs a lot of help. Start with 6 months in a locked rehab facility, and a boat load of counseling.
He’s had plenty of help and chances, he’ll stop when HE wants to stop, and he doesn’t seem to want to stop.
Can’t go to prison on a misdemeanor. Know the facts…it’s your job.
” Marinovich, who has a history of narcotics-related arrests, faces a maximum three-year jail sentence if convicted of the drug and trespass charges, according to the Orange County District Attorney’s Office. ”
Looks like SW did his job
That’s jail genius…not prison. Two entirely different places. Violent criminals go to prison; drug users go to jail..
You are correct. Too bad he can’t go to prison.
Thanks, I actually learned the difference between jail and prison from your post.
Remind him that Darryl Henley is in prison, not jail.
You can wind up in a county jail for misdemeanors for up to, I believe, 1 year. While it’s not hard bop prison, you’re still incarcerated.
Do you feel sorry for him ? I don’t.
I understand your sentiment but it’s hard not to feel sorry for him. He got himself to this point but it’s not like he woke up one day hoping to run around naked in other people’s backyards. Addiction and mental health are weird, complex problems.
He’s had more chances than most people would have had because of who he is, maybe if he’d had the hammer dropped on him just once it would have woken him up, it did for Robert Downey Jr. NO ONE shoved the drugs down his throat, he made that choice, and when this country starts making people responsible for their choices instead of making them victims, we’ll all be better off
Maybe if people got the mental healthcare they need in this country we’d have a lot fewer problems on the streets. Addiction is a nasty beast to a lot of folks.
Again, NO ONE makes you drink, smoke, snort, inject or swallow pills, NO ONE.
This began by the way he was raised as a child. He basically had a full time job when he was ten years old.
What’s your excuse?
I don’t have one or need one. My life is pretty damn good. What’s yours for being a middle age, loser, UCLA troll, who still working a minimum wage job in the fast food industry?
I understand now 12. you’re a self – medicator. Two big Mackerel combos and 2 pints of ripple and you think your life “… is pretty damn good.” Flunk on.
Foster Brooks only acted drunk. In fact, he hardly drank at all. You seem to have that recipe down pat. That tells me that this your “medicine” to help you get through life.
I hope Mike Rae’s caddy is not his lawyer.
He’s too busy pillaging foundations
If he is, Marinovich will be convicted of the Kennedy assassination.
Why is sw so good at covering these types of incidents? Why not give us some coverage, with details, about recruiting and practices.
Recruiting is in the dead period, what is there to report ?
Take a breath USC FootballMay…. We’re going to the Rose Bowl, there is plenty to hype this time of year. Past Rose Bowl Victories, games vs Penn St, Rose Bowl MVPs. Come On Scottie, get us pumped, juiced for the game. It’s easy to hype our Bowl game this year, take advantage Wolfman
Oh yeah !
This isn’t the Hype Board. That is what wearesc is for.
Hey scott, I was talking about reporting in general; throughout the year. Instead of posting reports that are half written or ending with unanswered questions you should have answers for. Be more detailed in what you report. USCfootball, you are sw right? You write like him.
If you think I’m SW, you’re delusional
Lol
You write incomplete sentences like Golly Nerd.
A bozo u grad, what do you expect?
USC just lost their big recruiting man in Florida Keynodo Hudson to Lane Kiffin and Florida Atlantic. He’ll be the DB’s coach. He was helped bring Leonard Williams to SC. I still think SC will fine down in Florida and congratulations to Hudson.
Administrative assistant’s recruit ?
He was our eyes and ears in florida. Kiffin gave him a position today.
his mom and dad must be so tired of this…he needs to hit bottom and stay there a while…he abuses all the opportunity and help he has ever had…sad
Daddy has a hand in what he’s has become.
Will the Marijuana charges be dropped since it’s now legal to possess it in the state of California? I don’t think a jury will convict him on those counts even if it was technically illegal at the time.
I think that’s the least of his worries at this point.
Agreed
His drug problems have persisted for decades, so it’s high time we call him what he really is – a LOSER. According to history, Todd will wait out this storm, then get high.
