Gators' Dominique Easley Won't Face Charges After Alleged October Assault

by Andy Hutchins on Nov 3, 2011 4:06 PM EDT in Florida Football

Hey, look, a rare spot of good news for Florida football this year! And it comes from the legal system, sort of: Dominique Easley will not be charged by the State Attorney's Office in connection with an October incident involving the alleged assault of former Alabama football player Reggie Myles, according to a statement released to the Orlando Sentinel's Rachel George, among others.

Myles alleged Easley assaulted him from behind at around midnight after Florida's loss to the Crimson Tide on October 1. After an investigation, the University of Florida Police Department recommended Easley be charged with misdemeanor battery last week; today, State Attorney Bill Cervone declined to press charges.

Easley hasn't missed any time during the investigation, and was never arrested in conjuction with it. The sophomore defensive tackle has also blossomed into one of the best players on Florida's young defense, tallying seven tackles for loss and a sack on the year.

Yeah, the whole thing seemed really weak from the start.

I had a feeling this would be the end result. Maybe Myles can come up with a better story next time.

Was it spicy garlic?

Because if so, it should have a proper “funeral.”

I'm more of a sweet & spicy

like firecracker, or raspberry hot

Are our "crimes" more humorous than other school's

or do I just not notice the other ones?

You’ve got the bizarre stuff like this, which although not real, is a pretty good story. You’ve got the really dark, disturbing incidents like Ronnie Wilson and…what was that guy’s name who stole the dead girl’s credit card?

You’ve got the classic college insanity, like that DE who threw a keg at somebody during Zook’s term. Add in the fact that evidently they’ll all high and drunk on a semi-permanent basis, and you’ve got the makings of a superb dark comedy.

Oh, come on. Don't leave your uncle T-bag hangin'.

Jamar Hornsby took the credit card.

Throwing sandwiches … that’s how we roll.

I forgot about the sandwich incident!

There are times when I miss Gainesville’s low-level absurdity.

The sandwich incident is probably my favorite. Only because I’ve done something similar once before.

It was at a subway in St. Augustine. I gave my order … said no mayo (I can’t stand mayo) and get my sub and there is mayo on it. For some reason at this particular subway, once you placed your order … you went to pay so I couldn’t watch them make it.

So I cut in line and say “There is mayo on this … I didn’t want mayo … thanks.”

They say sorry … and proceed to make me a new one and tell me that they’ll bring it out to me. So I just kind of refill my drink … etc. , and then the guy hands it to me.

THERE WAS FREAKING MAYO ON IT AGAIN!!!

The two buddies I went with look at me, and start wrapping up their subs because they know by the look on my face, that we’re leaving soon.

So I proceed to place the sub on the floor and smash it and drive it into the floor with one of those trays they give you. I also spread it around (mayo, turkey, bacon, cheese …etc., were everywhere).

I just turned around and said “That’s what I think of mayo.” and walked out. I think I’ve been to a subway maybe twice since then. That was back in freshman year of college (I think) so around fall of 2002. They were morons.

The only thing I regret was the waste of bacon. But collateral damage happens sometimes. The innocent get caught in the crossfire … that sort of thing.

Mayo is delicious in sandwiches.

What’s wrong with you?

If I even see them cut the bread with a knife that clearly mayo residue on it

I ask them to clean the knife and use different bread. It’s utterly vile.

Haha. You and I have the same thoughts on a mayo knife. If it was up to me, I’d throw the knife away. Because it is worthless then, no point in cleaning it. Just toss it.

Do you cut out all mayo based sauces?

Like Hollandaise and Remoulade?

by Charles UF on Nov 3, 2011 5:58 PM EDT up reply actions

I do. It is just a waste.

I won’t even touch Tartar sauce as it too is based on mayo.

Gross. Just gross.

Indeed.

No mayo or mayo-based anything. I once ate something that had some mayo thing in it, and I almost immediately got sick. VILE.

Ugh. Mayo is the worst. I can’t even deal with a knife that has mayo on it and it is near my sub. Because sometimes a little mayo gets on my sub and that is unacceptable.

Women's condiment.

No self respecting heterosexual male should want a spread that resembles semen on their sandwich.

Homophobe

Only a self depreciating man would draw that conclusion, or a boy who is still in college or lower and has yet to grow up.

Fear of homosexuals has nothing to do with it.

Not wanting suspicious looking white gunk in the corner of my mouth does.

The irony? I’ll eat the hell out of the Duke’s laden potato and macaroni salad my grandmother makes. Southern cuisine at its finest.

Great to hear that

Then what was the comment of heterosexual male have anything to do with it? That’s like saying all white dressings and liquids are bad … including milk … which is divine
