Shortly after the Akron Zips clinched the Mid-American Conference regular season title, point guard Alex Abreu found himself in handcuffs following a trafficking and possession bust for marijuana. …Five pounds of marijuana. …Two third-degree felony charges.
He and an 18-year-old buddy were arraigned in court this morning. Bond was set at $5,000.
In many ways, Abreu was a natural force of leadership on the team. He led the team to what was a nationally stunning 18-game winning streak and to a near certain NCAA tournament entry point.
The PD’s Elton Alexander has the details on Abreu’s seasons thus far, which ran headfirst into a brick wall this week. The PD story also features the typical round of intellectual comments on this story, so do check into those, as well.

Nice going, idiot. Way to screw up your season, and kill any chance your team had to continue their promising season. The fail train is right on schedule.
