Jackass of the week

It's bad enough when a high school football coach gets arrested on drug and gun possession charges. Such is the case with Deerfield Beach High School assistant football coach Dadrion Wilson, 30, who doubled as a security guard on campus. Police reportedly stopped the car in which Wilson was a passenger June 8 at 1:40 a.m. According to the cops, Wilson dropped a small bag of cocaine at the scene, and then went on to drop a little more than an eighth-ounce of weed in a patrol car after he'd been arrested. On top of all that, police found a loaded pistol in the car. But wait! It gets worse: The driver of the car was 18-year-old Donte Dotson, who will be Deerfield Beach High's starting quarterback next season. So far, so jackass, right? But there's even more icing to this cake of jackassery—Wilson was also Deerfield Beach High's Youth Crime Watch adviser. He was the guy who tried to stop students from doing things like, for example, carrying drugs and guns around. As for Dotson, the heat seems to all be falling on Wilson; the high school's star quarterback delivered a perfect athlete-caught-doing-something-bad statement after the arrest, saying, "I want to put this behind me. I definitely made a mistake and I shouldn't have been out that late." Truly, an all-pro defense. Ricky Williams or Pacman Jones couldn't have said it any better.
