Jadeveon Clowney was pulled over Saturday evening for speeding after police said he was going 110 MPH in a 70 MPH zone in South Carolina.

Troopers say Clowney was pulled over in a Chrysler 300 around 7:30 p.m. Saturday night on Interstate 77 near mile marker 39.
Officials say he was immediately ticketed, but not arrested in the stop. No word on what kind of fine was issued.

USA Today

Highway Patrol Lance Cpl. David Jones said Clowney was pulled over in a Chrysler 300 around 7:30 p.m. Saturday northbound on Interstate 77 in Fairfield County, about 25 miles north of Columbia.

Jones says Clowney was issued the ticket and allowed to drive away. It carries a $355 fine and six points, which are half the points needed to suspend a driver's license.

What a clown.

It doesn't seem like this will affect anything though.

 

[Feep]

But now how is the East going to win the East West bowl?!

[EBCubs03]

Speeding is dangerous but this seems like a silly thing to post as news

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

A 300? who's paying the bills?

Updated the OP with the USA Today Info.

No arrest. $355 fine and 6 points on his license.

Who hasn't done 110 at least once?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

It's in the OP brah, you just have to look for it.

 

[dankir]

A 300? who's paying the bills?

Poor man's Bentley.

 

[DietRob]

This person is not well known enough for me to care. Weird name though so I was a little intrigued at least. Enough to look him up.

 

[Vanillalite]

A 300? who's paying the bills?

I wouldn't want to speculate as I know nothing of his family.

Still a 300 isn't exactly a cheap car that most college kids I know would be driving around.

 

[GashPrex]

He didn't get arrested? That's crazy, usually 30+ is a criminal charge

 

[yogloo]

Is this some corrupted version of George Clooney?

Star CFB Player gets pulled over by highway police around the city that his college is in...

I'm not sayin I'm just sayin

Poor man's Bentley.

Round my parts it's called a "mini Bentley"

Same here, so he is a top 3 NFL draft pick?(dunno shit about drafts or sports) and his dad held up a check cashing center.

Lmao that one got me.

Who hasn't done 110 at least once?

In college, I did that about every weekend. It's one of those things that is stupid, but pretty common among young adults.

 

[Ace Harding]

OOOOF. Wow that is a monster hit.

 

[PhoenixDark]

A 300? who's paying the bills?

SEC.

 

[Arkos]

So he was driving too fast while sober. Oops.

Spoiler

did he forget to have sex with a drunk girl?

 

[Z_Y]

I bet he was winded when they finally pulled him over.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

He had PJ Hairston riding shotgun.

You can go 40 MPH over the limit and not get arrested but you can go to jail for not going to jury duty.

That's america for you.

 

[thesoapster]

110 is crazy around traffic. But if done on an empty road, not so much. Since the roadway was popular enough for a cop to be there, probably a dumbass decision.

Are you actually saying that you should be able to refuse jury duty whenever you feel like it?

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Nobody from gaf around to give him a flash?

77 isn't exactly the busiest interstate in the country. It connects Columbia (SC - you see how I had to explain that) and Charlotte. There's a reason you've never heard of it.

You are really making a problem out of what I wrote.

No fun allowed.

 

[FindMyFarms]

I've never heard of this guy, but Jadeveon is easily one of the blackest names in the business right now.

 

[weekend_warrior]

He'll make a good Texan.

 

[dekline]

Not even fast

 

[cdyhybrid]

I bet he was winded when they finally pulled him over.

:jnc

 

[Manmademan]

hmm. didn't realize going 110MPH and getting caught was really newsworthy. Happened to me once, but talked my way out of it.

 

[Lamel]

:jnc

What does :jnc mean?

 

[impirius]

I'm not convinced his heart is really into driving unless he gives 110 MPH on every single road

 

[Yaboosh]

Haha - what's his real name?

Ha'sean. But what does that have to do with Jadeveon?

 

[Chinpoko_Master]

"Jadeveon". Hm.

 

[cdyhybrid]

What does :jnc mean?

Josh needs chalupas.

[BigDug13]

I got popped doing 101 in South Carolina in the middle of nowhere on the interstate. Not really anyone on the road and I had a radar detector so I thought I was ok. This was 1997 and I guess they were using something called "instant on" and so the detector didn't chirp until it was too late. He was already pulling out of the trees to come get me.

$300 and some points. Could have been worse since that's "impound your car" levels of speed. I was young and it was a 13 hour drive normally...

 

[StanleyStutters]

I'm surprised it took as long as it did for someone to post this. Speeding is tame compared to what most athletes get busted for, I doubt he receives any real punishment.

I bet he was winded when they finally pulled him over.

Well done.

dat draft stock be falling
