« Former Tech hoops star arrested in Gwinnett on DUI charge »

Former Georgia Tech basketball player and current New Orleans Hornets guard, Jarrett Jack, "was arrested in Gwinnett County Sunday morning on charges of DUI, speeding and failure to maintain lane" according to the Gwinnett County Sheriff's Department.  Jack was a key member of Georgia Tech's 2004 team that advanced to the NCAA championship game.

I am very disappointed to see a former Georgia Tech student-athlete in this kind of trouble.  Whether these athletes want to be role models or not, they are and this type of behavior sets a bad example.  That being said, Jack should not receive any harsher treatment by the legal system than a non-celebrity arrested on a similar charge.  Likewise, he should not receive any more lenient treatment.  He should be treated just as you or I would be if we had made the incredibly dumb decision to drink and drive.
