Florida's Walker pleads no contest to theft charge

Posted April 19, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Erving Walker
TEAMS: Florida Gators
Former Florida guard Erving Walker has pleaded no contest to a petty theft charge of stealing a $3 taco. Judge Walter M. Green withheld adjudication Thursday and fined Walker $301. If Walker pays the fine by Sept. 27, his record will be cleared. The state agreed to drop one count of resisting arrest without violence. Walker, who just completed his senior season and ranks first in school history in assists, was arrested March 30. Gainesville Police said he ordered a taco from a street vendor, got the food and ran away without paying. When police caught up with him and told him stop, Walker kept going. Officers finally caught Walker with help from several patrol cars. Walker told them he was ''just playing around.'' He apologized for the incident Thursday.

The Florida Gators, Recruiting, And Why I Started This Thing Called The Bull Gator

Via The Bull Gator  |  April 19, 2012
There’s a series somewhere in this, well, series of interviews I’ve done recently with other sites. I would never call myself an expert of all things Florida Gators; far from it.

Fortunately for me, others have questions and on occasion want to know what my answers...

The Gators invented a new term on Friday night—or early Saturday morning. It’s the walk-off strikeout. With a runner on third and two outs in the 16th inning, Nolan Fontana struck out on a breaking ball in the dirt. He dodged the tag of catcher Brandon Stephens before sprinting to first. Stephens threw the ball over the first baseman’s head to give No. 1 Florida a 3-2 win in 16 innings.

Freshman wide receiver Latroy Pittman did what so many other newcomers do these days; he graduated from high school early and enrolled early at Florida. Behind committing to the Gators in the first place, that may have been the best decision Pittman has made.
