Florida State University is no stranger to the law. Early Tuesday morning, 21 year old Preston Parker was arrested in South Florida on charges of carrying a concealed .45-caliber handgun and possession of less than 20 grams of marijuana.
Preston Parker last year led the Seminoles in all purpose yards with 1,513 and 62 receptions. In one of the issues of the FSView (The Florida State University newspaper), a whole three page spread was dedicated to Parker, giving him the title of Mr. Versatile for his ability to play virtually any position on the offensive side of the ball with ease.
Last year's MVP of Florida State is awaiting an announcement from FSU officials. This is the first major discipline problem at FSU since the arrival of new athletic director Randy Spetman.
With FSU already on self-probation from last year's late Online-Class Cheating scandal that placed over 30 players on the sideline of the bowl game, FSU will have a lot on their plate and a lot of questions to answer.

Plus FSU put themselves on a 2-year self-probation. They can't just forget the Online Class Cheating scandal.
But, in all, I do hope, as an FSU Student that he is back on the field asap.
It makes no sense to be packin' heat and dope. It just says to me that he has no right to be at FSU and representing the university or the football team, regardless of talent.
Not excusing the athletes, but others could assist the kids by punishing them or steering them in the right direction before they make the huge mistakes like this one/
1: Players get in trouble more frequently in the offseason
2: Move Miami from the first game to midseason so we can use those troublesome players
3: Suspend players for the first 2 games, when we play I-AA schools
4: Act mad
I think he's got it down pat.
