Looks like someone fixed this case too.

New 2013 arrest has surfaced for Zach Smith
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
you know that the buckey fringe lunatics will say "this is good! on that night he was drinking with his wife, how can the stories about beating her be right if they can enjoy hanging out drinking wine together?"
It varies from state to state but that sounds like a sentence for a first offense. The article stated he was found guilty of a misdemeanor. Fines, license suspension and likely alcohol counseling. If the fix was in and he plead to a minor offense there likely wouldn't have been a 180 day suspension. Just IMO...
the other question is, how did he do his job for 6 months with a suspended license? did he have an Uber take him out recruiting?
Looks like everyone from his father, to Urban to the police enabled this guy. SMH.
Fat, drunk, stupid wife-beater. The Holy Trinity +1

The players drove him around. They get their cars for free.
Gee Ranger, let me type that into “The Google Thingy” and post it here JUST for your edification....

It seems to me (again IMO) that since he refused the breath test the charge ultimately was "physical control" of the vehicle while intoxicated as opposed to operating over the legal BAC limit since there was no BAC recorded. The officer would then need to rely on field sobriety tests and personal observation to prove intoxication. The penalties are likely the same with the exception of a longer suspension due to the refusal.
I will bet that 90%+ of all DUI's where the defendant refuses to take a breathalyzer test do not result in a reduced charge. And in this instance the defendant admitted to drinking (seems like Zack's lawyer should tell him to stop admitting to committing crimes) and he failed a field sobriety test.
Earle Bruce and Tosu fanboy worship is what created this guy. The only spinning old Earle is doing right now is trying to answer Dick Schaap's questions about Tosu football and the sense of entitlement that is associated with it.

sounds pretty typical- we are WAY too lax on drunk driving, it's a damn joke
What possible reason could Meyer have for keeping this guy on staff??

It must have been his ability to recruit because, IMO, OSU's Wr's have been pretty average at best.
The police probably called Gene Smith and asked if it was OK to charge him. Smith said "no".
Strange no one mentioned the "libido max" supplements found in the car, according to arrest records.

Wow. Yet another reason that this guy should have lost his job long before Jully 2018.
Worst part of this specific incident is that OSU fans are now no longer allowed to mock Nebraska for retaining an assistant coach with an DUI record.
^^^Yep...that's the worst part

Please take this opportunity to remember that Penn State has a culture problem.
Actually if you read the comments on elevenwarriors it's not that at all. It's "will this ever end?" There is quite a lot of fear.
The more of these that pile up, the more likely it will be that they will find evidence that Meyer knew stuff and withheld it from his superiors. And if there is a lot of that, they will have to fire him.
I read the case was resolved in 2015. Was Smith on the OSU staff then? Did he pass a background check to join the staff?
Per Brett McMurphy
"Judge that reduced Zach Smith’s 2013 drunken driving charges is a 1968 Ohio State graduate & member of The Ohio State University President’s Club"

Wait until it comes out that his license was suspended for 3 months and during that time he was operating vehicles around the United States on recruiting trips...
Jeff Snook will say Tom Herman got him drunk...

Said it for 2 weeks now, but I think Brett McMurphy has some stuff he is sitting on and waiting until after the investigation is announced. Think it is pretty clear he wants Urban fired, and if Urban is retained I don't think McMurphy is going to let it just die down and go away after putting this much effort into.
What a look it would be for OSU if Urban is retained and then McMurphy dropped a bomb after...

It's Ohio. Since when have they been concerned with bad looks?
I'm 99 percent certain he was driving during this period. How could he perform his duties with no liscense? Just a hunch, because I know of other people who have done this. I wouldn't be shocked if he still had a valid Florida drivers license and used that. This guy is a real piece of work.
Does anyone know when hack sports journalist and OSU fanboy Davey Jones will chime in??

WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL ABOUT ALL THIS? As former OSU player Terrelle Pryor famously said, "Not everybody's the perfect person in the world. I mean everyone kills people, murders people, steals from you, steals from me, whatever."
Everyone also drives while drunk, beats their spouse, whatever....

Not to defend him but there are these things called taxis and ride shares. I’m sure they fit within the OSU travel budget. I don’t even rent cars on business travel anymore. Just take Uber everywhere.
I tweeted that weasel the day the story came out. <Crickets>
In ohio, there is a DUI and an OVI. DUI is having booze in your blood, any amount. OVI is being "intoxicated". If the perp doesn't take the blood test (which is tantamount to pleading no contest....guilty but without a fight). If is fairly common to get an OVI dropped to a DUI, but not dropping the speeding as well....and especially in cases where the perp refused the blood test because that pisses judges off.
Really looks like he got special treatment, of some sort.

You can bet he does. He is waiting to see if the 6 person investigation team comes clean on everything. If they do not he will slam them again. He is just telling them they gotta let it all hang out there. I am assuming the former prosecutors on that team get how this works. If they blithely assume they have explained it all away, they are gonna get burned.

99% certain? you must have quite a lot of information to reach such a high degree of certainty
perhaps you could share your sources on this information
