Not every arrest is, well, an "arrest."
Take OU tight end Jermaine Gresham who was taken into custody on Monday because of a warrant for failure to pay a Feb. 2 seat belt ticket. Two weeks and a day later, Norman police arrest him because he neither paid the citation nor did he set a court appearance.
Bad Jermaine.
I could be totally off my rocker, but I seem to recall having much longer to pay a ticket, upwards of a month before the warrants came out. It's been a long time since I've gotten a ticket, so I could be wrong.
However, in the scheme of athlete-police encounters, this is about as innocent as it gets.

As part of a continuous effort to revise what we're doing here on The Norman Files, we're going to start offering links each day to Norman-related stories, videos, sites, etc. Think of us as a blog and an aggregator.
So, some posts will be "just" posts and then one post per day will be the catch-all, with the big story of the day in Norman supplemented by links. I've seen other sites do this, and they're often the sites I come back to most often. Plus, this accounts for the fact that time is limited.
Besides, I do so much surfing each day, I highly doubt you'll find another site with a better variety of Norman-related links.
