The Pac-Man of the Plains?

Former Oklahoma State WR/PR Prentis Elliott continued his downward spiral this past week as he was given jail time for illegal transportation of a firearm in Tulsa. Elliott, a former blue chipper from Science and Technology High in Tulsa (and a Rivals 3 Star in 2004), actually had 6 counts against him this time, but settled for dismissals on the others and 15 days in the Cross Bar Hilton. The firearm offense came from being arrested by Tulsa police in a gang-related shooting in August 2006, which sheds light on the fact that he was involved in a scuffle with an off-duty police officer in 2003.

Well, it looks like Strike 3 gets Prentis two weeks of 3 hots and a cot, courtesy of the Tulsa County taxpayers, along with some of those neat shower shoes. Of course, Strike 2 might have ended up being the more costly in the grand scheme of things.....



Of course, it's a shame, because Elliott was a talented returner and looks like he could have been the guy to give Titans CB Adam "Pac-Man" Jones a little break from all the negative pub. If only he could have stayed in school......
