Murray State quarterback Jeff Ehrhardt has been charged with robbery, a felony punishable by 5-10 years in prison, for allegedly bumping a police officer and stealing his ticket book. His motive? In a sworn statement he said he did it because someone else "bet $20 he wouldn't do it." Now this is a smart person: Someone says, "Hey, I'll bet you $20 you won't go bump that cop and steal his ticket book," and you say, "Sure, I'll take that bet"? A witness reportedly named Ehrhardt as the suspect. Murray State Athletic Director Allen Ward called the situation a prank gone bad, and that may be true. But you can hardly blame the police officer who gets pushed by a 6-foot-4, 210-pound guy and has his ticket book stolen for thinking he was in danger and wanting the perpetrator to face serious charges. Ehrhardt was named 2007 Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Year. http://www.collegefootballtalk.com/rumormill.htm
