LaMichael James arrested for domestic violence [with Update]

PrintJust when you think this offseason couldn't get any more ridiculous, it does. Early this morning, Oregon's star running back, LaMichael James was arrested for domestic violence by the Springfield Police. The Lane County Sheriff's Office website lists James' charges as strangulation, assault-4 and menacing.
Obviously, this is not good news, and if these charges are even close to what happened, James' actions are totally unacceptable.
But, let's take a step away from the cliff, Duck fans. There have been 3 incidents so far this offseason. None related, and none similar. While it will be the popular angle to talk about the decline in standards at Oregon, we have a long way to go before we reach that level. On top of that, none of the incidents that have occurred so far this offseason have been addressed publicly by the athletic department, which is to be expected until all incidents are addressed legally.
Unfortunately, at this point, all that we can do is wait and see how this all shakes out, and there's no reason to think that'll happen soon. So while it's not looking great for James, let's not make big pronouncements on the state of the football team just yet.
[Update] James has plead not guiltu to one count of strangulation, two counts of fourth-degree assault and two counts of physical harassment. All of these are misdemeanors.
James was taken into custody on Tuesday after a fight with his girlfriend on Monday. So the arrest happened long after the alleged assault took place. James' girlfriend is alleging that "he grabbed her neck during an argument and pushed her to the ground."
There is conflicting word on the bond in the case. though ESPN is reporting that it's $40,000. The Oregonian is also reporting that James will likely be released in the next 24 hours, but will wear an ankle bracelet and be under electronic surveillance, though at this point, it's not clear if this means he will be confined to a specific area or not.
Chip Kelly spoke out on James' status as well, though was not forthcoming with details, and it seemed to be pretty standard coach-speak for an issue like this. I wouldn't expect much from the athletic department until all of the legal issues in this case get sorted out.
Unfortunately, it looks like we're in for a long wait on this topic, as James will not have his pretrial hearing until Mach 24th. Spring practices start on March 30th.

What movie is that from?
can’t believe this
They are all misdemeanors
And it IS SOP in Oregon to assume all domestic violence incidents are valid and put the accused in jail for the night.

This is true, and happened to Terrance Montgomery earlier last year.

at least montgomery didnt get kicked off the team at the time
Stackin' wins like legos; toastin' Pac-10 like de eggos
I’m pretty sure he left the team for totally unrelated reasons.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
And as Portland State student
I am reminded of when two of our guys on our basketball team were arrested in Mexico after the 2009 NCAA tourney. They were released after it was revealed that there was no evidence connecting them to the incident.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
this was county sheriffs, not Springfield PD.
I know there’s a big diff between the Sheriff’s dept and the Tijuana police.
everything is history, eventually.
The arresting agent in this case is listed as Springfield PD

um…any chance we can pay off the cops like they did?

I saw the evidence, it was nothing. It was clear in retrospect that the cops just grabbed two random white boys off the street.

Let's just give one example
The guy who was attacked had his jaw broken. Their was NO evidence on either of the player’s hands of the sort of trauma you’d expect if they had done something like that.

Because a friend of the dude who was attacked took pictures of them and said, “Do these guys look like they could have been the ones that attacked you?” and the dude said yes.

most def. not sure i can rationalize keeping him around even if he pleads down to something less. and i fully supported keeping LGB around.

LGB committed no crimes
Except in the heads of Boise State f-ers.
"Good evening Blazer fans, wherever you may be!"-Bill Schonely
LGBs action made sense in a way...
but strangling a woman? How do you rationalize that?
no one is. we’re not in the SEC.
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
Thats what I am saying
There is no explanation (except it never happened) that would make this seem OK.
Which is why, in this case, it will be very important to wait and see what actually happened. In domestic incidents, it’s amazing what they will charge.
This is why I view all initial charges incredibly dubiously.
If he is guilty, then that’s incredibly sad, and I hope he can get counseling and move forward with his life.
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
What the hell, dude? Bringing up the SEC in this completely unrelated incident reminds me of LSU fans who insisted (and some who still insist) on bringing Nick Saban into completely unrelated conversations.

So, when someone asked “How do you rationalize strangling a woman?” and you replied “No one is. We’re not in the SEC,” you meant that wanting a kid that robbed you to still play constitutes rationalizing strangling a woman?

i’m too lazy to look it up. if my memory is correct the interview went something like this:
“aw schucks, i know he stuck a gun in my face and asked for my wallet but we gotta big game this week. its not like he shot me in the face. and he’s a starter. we need him on saturday. i mean…this is Tennessee football after all and i’m just a person.”
Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
Yeah. I don’t think anyone rationalized the crime. It’s at a higher level, but the same as with us and LGB. No one rationalized the punch. No one said “It’s okay that he did that.” People said “What he did was wrong, but we’re giving him a second chance.”
What Hood did was way more wrong, and there was way more time before he was given his second chance. But no one at any point said “What he did wasn’t wrong.” It was just the matter of how long it should be before he got a second chance, if he did at all.
Also, are you going to take Kiffin’s actions at Southern Cal as emblematic of how the Pac-10 is? Then don’t take Kiffin’s actions at Tennessee as emblematic of how the SEC is. Look at all 12 effing schools. Or at least more than one.

Yeah, I know. The people up here who make fun of the South remind me, exactly, of the people left in the South who make fun of blacks. They defend their stereotyping with the exact same arguments.
Basically,
and stereotyping SEC fans is always fun.

What point?
I’ve made several points in this thread. Which one is the ridiculous one?
That Pac-10 fans who always have to bring up the SEC in unrelated conversations are being like LSU fans who always have to bring up Nick Saban in unrelated conversations?
That no one rationalized Hood’s crime; they rationalized giving him a second chance at this juncture?
That stereotyping Southerners is just as morally unacceptable as stereotyping blacks (or Asians or women or men or any other group where there’s societal pressure to not stereotype)?

your 1st point is valid. yet i stand by my sarcastic point.

i guess that leaves your 3rd point as the ridiculous one. btw, i said the SEC which would infer football fans and programs located in and about the “South”.

Yes it is
In Domestic Disputes the accused is always arrested and held, no matter what. It’s because of the nature of what they’re being accused of, police deem it unsafe to release them until I want to say 12 hours later. Remember we had a player (I forget who) also arrested for a “domestic violence” claim last season but he was never charged with the crime. In fact, it was an incredibly similar situation.
Again, if he’s charged and found guilty, then fuck him. But until that happens, as far am I’m concerned, he’s a victim of his own celebrity and an opportunistic accuser.
I don't support someone who strangles women
But from a legal point of view, a class A misdemeanor does not mean much, if any, jail time and so is not a big deal.

just because someone says it’s not much in the grand scheme of things doesn’t mean they support strangling women. Come on

Crime is crime. It’s ultimately about the consequences of your actions. It ultimately doesn’t matter the sexes of the people involved.
Obviously, domestic incidents have a whole different feel because a lot of times they include disputes where one party has a significant physical advantage over the other party. An abuse of power in this way is despicable, no matter the sexes of the parties involved, or if its domestic or not.

One thing that bugs me with the current state of college football
And I see it here now, is the justification of keeping someone around because no legal action took place. The wait-and-see approach. The “oh if these charges ended up getting dropped, then he didn’t do it” No, often times he did but a lack of evidence forced the DAs hand in not bringing up charges. Didn’t mean it didn’t happen
Now look, I am not one to believe in guilty until proven innocent, but its also clear to me that things happen a lot of times that end up not being prosecuted due to one reason or another. But the fact is, it still happened (I know he is technically “innocent”, but does anyone in here honestly believe OJ Simpson did NOT murder Nicole Brown??)
What I have to wonder is how long this is going to happen before something is done about it. Chip Kelly has kicked some people off the team, but it appears that for a player to be kicked off there either needs to be A) legal action, in which case really any head coach’s hands are tied; or B) it is a non-scholarship, non-role player. So when is a stand going to be made?
And by the way, I was the first Oregon State fan to say that Al Afalava should have been kicked off the team immediately following his DUI Hit-and-Run, so I don’t want to hear anyone claiming that I’m just a homer here
by The VD Special on Feb 17, 2010 11:14 AM PST reply actions
college has such a strange line where you can’t judge them all together i think. its supposed to be a place where you can learn and grow into a man. what responsibility does the coach/program have to be a father/mentor to all athletes when they promised the kids parent(s) to do exactly that? or at the first sign of trouble, to protect the coaches image, they boot a kid. i’m a believer in second chances (depending on the first offense) depending on the individual.
the part i think that gets fans, and opposing fans, fired up/annoyed is when a program uses the individual players worth (starter vs walk-on for example) to make these decisions. CK hasnt done this yet.

That kind of reminds me of a local police bureau out here in the East PDX Metro.
They started a formal complaint against the judicial courts because they were letting people they arrested or pulled over free without any charges. Their basic argument was “If they were innocent, we wouldn’t have arrested them or pulled them over to begin with”

Nahhh I agree completely
Football and sports in general do not reward good character, they reward talent and strenght. Alot of what is required to succeed in football is also what ruins the character of the person. Agression, a focus on only the physical and a “nothing can stop me attitude” can lead to the worst of acts, yet they will also get you paid millions.

So when is a stand going to be made?
A stand about what? Are you actually saying that people should be kicked off the team if they are innocent? And how in the world are you going to decide if someone is innocent or guilty? Or what actually happened? This type of attitude is why there are currently a significant amount of innocent people in prisons.

If nothing legal happens, then chances are that nothing of substance happened.

though that’s different from saying domestic violence doesn’t take place. Its usually the woman deciding not to press charges, or it comes out that the woman was hitting, too, and they mutually decide not to press charges, or something like that. But with domestic violece, there’s almost always fire with the smoke. Not saying everyone’s always guilty, but the chances are very high that LMJ did something.

yeah I think its as close to a given as we'll say that something happened
the question is two-fold
1) was it mutual
2) is it enough to warrant immediate ejection from the team
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
'Something'
is pretty vague, though.
‘Something’ that involves him angry with his hands around her throat is reprehensible. Even if she dropped the charges (and with DV, that could be because she’s afraid of retaliation), I would want him off the football team if that’s what came to light.
‘Something’ that involves an overreactive or vindictive ex-girlfriend trumping up charges is a different story. It happens. I’m not saying I think it happened here, but it happens.

Holy moly, is that my boy Masoli?
If he's not immediately suspended, I'm very disappointed.
If he’s convicted, he’s off the team.
If he’s convicted and NOT off the team, I’m off the team.
Violence against women is my personal line in the sand.
This isn’t Nebraska. I don’t want players acting like Lawrence Phillips.
everything is history, eventually.
Fun Fact:
when Lawrence Phillips got in trouble for getting in a “fight” with one of his teammates, i’m not sure they ever said who it was. well, one afternoon, Phillips came back to his apt to find Eric Crouch sleeping w/ his gf. Eric Crouch ended up getting thrown down the stairs, etc. wow that team was crazy.

good Ted Miller article:
Here’s a guess that Kelly delivered a stern message about personal conduct in a team meeting in late-January. That message, however, may not have sunk in, at least based on the allegations against James.
One of the tough things about being a college coach is you are held accountable for things which you have little to no control over. But that’s part of the job. Guys get paid very well to win and run a clean program, and the buck ultimately stops on the coach’s desk.
Here’s another guess. Kelly, now a wizened coaching veteran, will again deliver a stern message to his team. This one may go up to 11 on the volume, too.
Oregon fans surely will hope this time the message resonates as if it were coming from the Oval Office.

Obviously we’re a few carts before the horses here, but if he’s convicted of any of these things, then yeah, I’m guessing that’s what’ll happen.

finally we have a tad bit of information. the register guard article with interviews
key excerpt:
springfield police arrested James, 20, on charges of fourth-degree assault, menacing and strangulation, all under under the state’s Abuse Prevention Act. Bail has not been set and he remained in custody this morning at the Lane County Jail.
Udner the oregon abuse prevention act, the police MUST make an arrest when domestic violence is involved/alleged.

You have to make an arrest in a DV case here in Washington as well. Usually, though, it is simply a 4th degree assault booking
by Brian Floyd on Feb 17, 2010 12:47 PM PST up reply actions
my theory there is that since strangulation is alleged, and the arrest wasn't made during/immediately after the confrontation, there had to have been bruises, finger markings on her throat
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
and one final statement from bellotti
"I think we’ll have more information this afternoon and I think that we’ll have a statement," Bellotti said
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
I believe so but I only checked oregon's online
anyway the point is that all she has to do is allege it, and the police MUST arrest him. Regardless of what happened, the charges are filed based upon her story.
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
another key excerpt
Police said James’ 22-year-old girlfriend alleged the incident occurred Monday evening outside his apartment on Gateway Street. She reported it to police Tuesday afternoon, and officers arrested him a short time later at an apartment near Autzen Stadium, Springfield police Sgt. Tom Borchers said.

Life is about growth. People are not perfect when they're 21 years old. - Bill Walton
yep. I think we'll know a lot more once the ducks themselves make a statement today
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
163.187. (1) A person commits the crime of strangulation if the
person knowingly impedes the normal breathing or circulation of
the blood of another person by:
(a) Applying pressure on the throat or neck of the other
person; or
(b) Blocking the nose or mouth of the other person.
(3) Strangulation is a Class A misdemeanor.
{ + (4) Notwithstanding subsection (3) of this section,
strangulation is a Class C felony if:
(a) The crime is committed in the immediate presence of, or is
witnessed by, the person’s or the victim’s minor child or
stepchild or a minor child residing within the household of the
person or victim;
(b) The person used, attempted to use or threatened to use a
dangerous weapon while committing the crime;
© The person caused physical injury to the victim while
committing the crime;
So it appears to me that you can be charged with strangulation for covering someone’s mouth OR nose, which I think is not probably what most people think about when they hear that word, I know had a different idea. We also know that no physical injury was incurred because he was charged with the misdemeanor instead of the felony. This is why we wait to see how things shake out in the end before drawing conclusions.
I wasn’t there I don’t know what happened, but my theory based on absolutely no first hand knowledge is he arguing with his girlfriend, she’s screaming at him in front of his place, and he covered her mouth and said stop yelling at me in front of the whole world. I’m not saying that is what happened, nor am I saying that justifies laying his hands on her in a fight, but it is a whole lot less serious than if he had STRANGLED her the way I was thinking about it.
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
The report says:
That she is saying he grabbed her by the neck and threw her to the ground. So the strangling may have been incidental to him throwing her. I too was invisioning him with both hands around the neck….either way he’s an ass but to understand I need to know what precipitated the confrontation…
Here you go
Thanks.
With fairly clear allegations being made, and an arrest being made, I think we’ll have more info on this fairly soon (at least compared to the Masoli situation).
--AddictedToQuack, SBNation's Oregon Ducks blog
belloti expects a statement to be released sometime today
Proud winner of the 2009 ATQ Jersey Contest
The 4th paragraph said "pushed her to the ground" Not "threw her."
When I saw this ‘small’ difference. it puts the situation in a different seeming context to me. I don’t want LMJ to be an asshole maybe,
"We'll go."
remember that a lot of these get pumped up too by the accusee due to hightened emotional states

OT, and possible not the best forum fur such things
But does anyone know how to actually watch the olympics? I see womens downhill is happening live today, yet could not find it anywhere online or on television. Is it all just delayed coverage at select times? Am I missing something?
CNBC, and MSNBC have stuff on all day, but its usually stuff like curling. A lot of the stuff on NBC is tape delayed. There is also a site online at NBC Olympics.com you have to download their player, but you have to be a cable or satellite subscriber and they will need to confirm that, but there is a bunch of stuff there.
Say what you mean, and say it mean. - Clint Ruin
They are tape-delaying EVERYTHING for the “benefit” of viewers on the West Coast. Even though the events are happening in our time zone.
They can get away with this with the Olympics, because the Olympics are all about Casual Sports Fans, and they think we’d rather be “convenienced” than see things live.

To point to steroids, or even ask the question, is ridiculous. In this day and age, steroids is the answer to all questions, when there is plenty of evidence pointing to other things in cases like these.

This is all starting to remind me a little too much of the 1981 offseason..
.. what with the allegations of theft, fights, now an abuse arrest, and a general lawless attitude.
Back then it was a lack of institutional control, combined with players who had a skewed sense of their own entitlements.
At this point it’s nowhere near the crisis of the ‘80s — the NCAA isn’t putting us on probation this time — and the program is vastly superior now. Still, it hurts to see all this happening.
I do NOT want to win the Fulmer Cup.

Is it bad that I just had a huge grin thinking about winning the Fulmer Cup?

LMJ is weak compared to the Jones or the other past winners. 5 points? That said, he’s the highest profile of any contender.

While Project Eddie Pleasant Mayhem was unsuccessful in liberating young LaMichael, we did leave many flaming bags of poo on many doorsteps. We also gang-tackled anyone wearing an orange shirt (the Home Depot at Delta Oaks will never be the same again), and hit up the Cas Center for a light core workout. Man, that juice bar is delicious! All in all, it was a fun morning. Either that, or I’m at home with a cold and just had a really great Nyquil-induced hallucination dream. Either way, there are like fifteen Eddie Pleasants praying in a circle in my living room, and David Paulson is seated in the middle on a throne looking confused and, frankly, a little freaked out.

So, my day started out with the LMJ news.
Obviously, an ordinary day would be completely ruined at that point. But today was special. Today was the day that my shiny new monitor, which was unfathomably larger than the 15" piece of junk that came with my computer, was supposed to be delivered.
I rushed home early from work, delighted to find no “Sorry we missed you!” door tag on my apartment.
I came inside and waited. Not ten minutes later, I heard a sequence of knocks, followed by the familiar “UPS!” announcement. Success!
He placed the box in my hands. The box was even bigger than I’d imagined it would be. This was going to dwarf my crappy old monitor. It was exactly what I’d wanted, and was the only thing that could distract me from the LaMichael bullcrap. For a few brief seconds, I’d forgotten.
Excited, and mercifully distracted, I opened the box. I was greeted by a warning label on the protective sheer wrapping of the monitor:
I hate my life.

Maybe in your rage you missed some key words, letters or something?
I got the second draft!
When the University of Oregon became thug U, the world was a darker place. Nazis ruled the land with an iron fist with their trained army of velociraptors keeping vigilante justice in the streets. Only one man had the courage to stand up. That man was Nick Trebon. On a cold Tuesday afternoon, he stood up and said, “This is ridiculous!” The dinosaurs were shocked. They took Nick to a top-secret laser jail, where they were already holding Chip Kelly and Mike Bellotti. The head dinosaur, named Rick Neuheisel, went up to Hitler and said, “You had better set some off!” Hitler knew Neuheisel was right, and carpet-bombed the entire West Coast. He stepped out into the cold of winter and said, “This season rules, or if it doesn’t totally rule, it’s definitely my favorite.” Next thing you know, Oregon is going into poverty and malnourishment, and fear has taken hold. With the season turning to spring, and with their best players dead or on the run, the outlook was bleak.
