The once thought to be future NFL Hall of Famer, Maurice Clarett, is now wanted by the police of Columbus, Ohio for two counts of aggravated robbery.
Monday's charge continues a downward spiral for the 22-year-old running back. Clarett led Ohio State to a national championship during his freshman year by rushing for 1,266 yards and 16 touchdowns. He scored the winning TD in double overtime in the championship game victory against Miami but never again played for the Buckeyes.

In September 2003, Clarett was charged with misdemeanor falsification for reporting that more than $10,000 in clothing and equipment was stolen from a car that he had borrowed. Later that month, Clarett was suspended for a game for receiving special benefits from a family friend and misleading investigators.
In January 2004, Clarett pleaded guilty to failing to aid a law enforcement officer.
But Clarett is best known for challenging an NFL ruling that a player had to wait three years after his high school class had graduated to play in the NFL and was granted eligibility for the draft. However, the decision was appealed and overturned.
Once eligible for the NFL, Clarett did not last long. He was a surprising third-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2005 but was released after battling a groin injury all preseason.
Such a waste of tallent, but seems to be something that isn't really all that unusual. Like they say, you can take the man out of the hood, but you can't take the hood out of the man. Though these days, Clarett could actually be back in the hood, he had the chance to be a real star.
