UCLA Kicker Facing Felony Charges

Bruin kicker Justin Medlock was arrested early Saturday and charged with two felony counts of driving under the influence and hit and run. Hannah Jun, a member of the women's golf team and the lone passenger in Medlock's car, was taken to the UCLA Medical Center where she had "very severe" spinal cord injuries. Officers who arrived on the scene found Jun "half in, half out" of the car and apparently trying to climb out the window. Medlock, who suffered minor injuries, walked away from the accident before officers arrived on the scene. He was arrested almost an hour later by the Inglewood Police Department about 1.5 miles from the scene of the one-car accident. For more information on Medlock's booking, you can go to this link, enter his first and last name click search.

He was arrested 1 1/2 miles from the scene? What, did the dude walk solo away from the girl in the car? In that neighborhood? One word... IDIOT!

This is a nice photo. I'd be interested in knowing whether you take some of the sports shots you post. And if so, if I can purchase copies of some of them.

I was disappointed when this story broke and included in the initial article concerning this matter is the fact that Justin has been suspended from the team by Karl Dorrel. Why can't Karl react in the same way that his buddy Pete (on the other side of the tracks) and not take any action until the LAPD conduct their investigation? In fact most teams don't take any action over alleged criminal actions of student athletes.
