[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 125826, member: 1944"] Of course the mayor is upset, but it is true. And a link to a local newspaper blog Youngstown mayor upset about comment by Clarett attorney 13 days ago Youngstown mayor upset about comment by Clarett attorney Printer Friendly | PDF | Email | digg The Associated Press Sep 24, 2006 8:23 PM (13 days ago) Current rank: Not ranked YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - An attorney for former Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett riled Mayor Jay Williams when he said wearing bullet-resistant vests is a way of life for people living in Clarett's former neighborhood. The comments from attorney Michael Hoague came after Clarett struck a deal that led to Clarett's guilty pleas last week to charges of aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon. "If you travel in his neighborhood in Youngstown, you see a lot of people, for whatever reason, wearing their tank tops with their flak vests," Hoague said. "It's a way of life with the people he grew up with." Authorities said Clarett, 22, was wearing a bulletproof vest when he was arrested on the concealed weapons charge. Williams responded to Hoague with a letter in which he called the lawyer's comment "lunacy." "If truth be told, Mr. Hoague, while traveling the neighborhoods of Youngstown (which, unlike you, I do on a daily basis), I cannot remember the last time I've seen anyone wearing a tank top with a flak vest," Williams wrote in the letter, the (Toledo) Blade newspaper reported Saturday. "Fact: Mr. Clarett is a grown man who must, and apparently has, taken responsibility for his actions, period," Williams wrote. "Fact: No one else is to blame for these actions; not Youngstown, not the people in its neighborhoods." Clarett pleaded guilty Sept. 18 and was sentenced to 7 1/2 years prison, with the possible release after 3 1/2 years. Authorities said Clarett flashed a gun and robbed two people of a cell phone early Jan. 1 outside a Columbus bar. The concealed weapon charge was from his Aug. 9 arrest after a highway chase with police who found four loaded guns in the sport utility vehicle he drove.
