EAST LANSING – Michigan State University running back LJ Scott was arrested Wednesday for driving on a suspended license, the seventh time Scott has faced that or a similar charge.

Scott, 21, was arrested and later released on a personal recognizance bond, East Lansing Police spokesman Lt. Chad Connelly said Thursday. He declined to comment further because Scott has not yet been arraigned.

The charge carries up to a year in jail if Scott is convicted because he has at least one prior conviction on the same charge, which is typically a 93-day misdemeanor.

Scott could not be reached Thursday. A message left seeking comment from James Heos, Scott’s attorney, was not immediately returned.

A Michigan State running back was arrested for…driving with a suspended license?  What?  Who cares?  All the wild athlete arrest stories and we’re seeing headlines about a damn suspended license? Just this morning I blogged about Pat McAfee getting hammered and jumping in a freaking canal.  Who hasn’t driven with a license issue one ti……wait a minute.

Scott has been charged for driving without a license or on a suspended license at least six other times in Ohio and Michigan since last year, according to court records.

SEVEN TIMES?!?  How is that even possible?!?!  That’s incredible.  Absolutely astonishing.  I honestly think you have to lock this guy up for the rest of his life, not because of this particular crime obviously, but as a pre-crime type thing, for the other things he could be possibly predisposed do in the future.  I mean you just can’t have less of “IDGAF about the laws” attitude than driving with a suspended license, getting arrested, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again, driving with a suspended license again, getting arrested again.  It’s insanity.  For the good of the community lock up LJ Scott and throw away the key!!!
