Former Tech QB Hamilton arrested for DUI
A popular quarterback who led Georgia Tech to an ACC football championship was arrested on drug, alcohol and hit-and-run charges early Tuesday, about a week after getting hired by his former team. Joe Hamilton, 31, is facing charges of marijuana possession, driving under the influence of alcohol, hit-and-run and open container, according to a Georgia Tech police report. He was taken to Fulton County Jail. The former Heisman Trophy runner-up was pulled over shortly after midnight by a Georgia Tech police officer because his black Ford Expedition matched the description of a car that had been involved in a hit-and-run collision nearby. An officer smelled alcohol on Hamilton's breath, and asked him if he had been in an accident. Hamilton admitted that he hit another motorist from behind, according to the report. Hamilton failed a series of field sobriety tests, including walking in a straight line and standing on one leg, the report states. "He was unsteady on his feet while doing the exercise, and he was losing his balance during the evaluation," an officer wrote of Hamilton trying to walk in a straight line. While Hamilton tried to stand on one leg, he was "swaying while trying to balance and was unable to keep his foot from touching the ground," the officer wrote. Hamilton also agreed to take a breath test that measured his blood-alcohol content. In two attempts, he recorded a 0.193 and 0.199, the document said. In Hamilton's car, police found an open bottle of Heineken beer on the floor board behind a passenger seat and a marijuana cigarette in the ash tray, the report said. The hit-and-run collision, meanwhile, occurred at Williams Street and North Avenue. The other motorist, Charles Curry Jr. of Decatur, told police he was stopped at a red light on Williams when another motorist rear-ended him. Curry motioned for the other motorist to pull into a nearby parking lot but the motorist drove off, he told police. Hamilton told police that he "tried to wait on them [the other motorist] but it took the victim too long to arrive," the report said. A witness got the driver's license plate number, which matched Hamilton's, the report said. Hamilton's car had white paint on its front bumper - the same color of Curry's car, which had a dent in the rear bumper, the report said. Tech athletics director Dan Radakovich issued this statement: "The matter is under investigation, and appropriate action will be taken upon completion of the investigation." Hamilton received his history, technology and society degree from Tech last August. The 5-foot-10-inch quarterback played for Tech from 1996 to 1999. He led the team to an ACC championship in 1998, and finished second in the Heisman Trophy race the next year. He moved on to play in the NFL and the Arena Football League. Hamilton joined the Tech staff on April 28 as the assistant director of player personnel. His duties include assisting with recruiting and helping the players. Hamilton did not immediately return a voicemail left on his cellphone. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ A RATTLER TO THE VERY END!  |

He wasn't using one iota of his common sense.

Oh well he'll be out of a job. The dumb bunny would have already had a job at Maryland under Ralph Friegen but he failed to complete degree requirements at GT. Then when he does get the paper (notice I didn't say earned) he screws up like this. What a dummy he didn't learn anything. A friend of mine has a son who was Joe's roommate at Tech. He indicated Joe was no stranger to drinking and smoking the icky sticky.

"WTH kinda major is THAT?" Hell ... I bet a lotta folks on this Board coulda double majored in a little "Earth, Wind & Fire" back in the day too - if they had only been as crafty as GaTech ... and created an actual curriculum for it!  Why not just set up some semi-legit sounding smoke-&-mirrors degree like say "Recreational Therapy" - like FSU ... and quit coming up with some inexplicable BS like this. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Just Remember...

---------- Hamilton declares he's 'innocent' Former star Tech QB apologizes after DUI arrest By TIM EBERLY, ALAN JUDD The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 05/06/08 Wearing the same tan golf shirt and slacks he was arrested in the night before, former Georgia Tech quarterback Joe Hamilton professed his innocence Tuesday evening in the Fulton County Jail. But he says he's sorry. "I apologize to the Georgia Tech community and my family," Hamilton, 31, said while sitting in a small courtroom inside the jail, moments after a bond hearing. "For the confusion and commotion — the negative spotlight." Hamilton, who led Georgia Tech to an ACC football championship in 1998, was arrested early Tuesday during a traffic stop on Tech's campus, about a week after getting hired by his former team. He is facing charges of marijuana possession, driving under the influence of alcohol, hit-and-run and open container, according to a Georgia Tech police report. Hamilton's arrest is the second incident in less than a month that involved allegations of drugs and Georgia Tech's athletics program. Junior baseball player Michael Hutts was found dead April 11 from a drug overdose amid reports that he used heroin. A toxicology report showed Hutts, 21, died from morphine toxicity, but authorities are still investigating what drugs he took. ..... |
