Heading for the Bottom

Half a bottle of vodka, a hatchet, 4 guns, and a bullet resistant vest. Sounds like a wild night, huh? Or maybe an average one if you're Maurice Clarett, who was arrested last night after fleeing police when they tried to pull him over after making an illegal U-turn. Clarett had to be maced to be subdued since the vest made a taser ineffective. Apparently the guns were loaded; they included three pistols and one "assault rifle". (Disclaimer: "Assault Rifle" is a media term for any big gun that looks mean.) That sound you hear? That's Clarett punting whatever future he had left away.

UPDATE: Clarett was pulled over just blocks away from the home of a witness in his burglary trial. That doesn't look good at all. Apparently he also called ESPN's Tom Friend last night and talked about his life. Go read that article, it's sheds a lot of light on this story.
