Another USC Football player arrested..
Coach Spurrier is a work of art.. Notice the Reporters choice of words on the weapon..
Cook leaving jail on August 24, 2007.
(Columbia) - Gamecock starting free safety Emanuel Cook Jr. has been released from jail following his arrest on gun charges.
Cook, 19, is charged with unlawful possesion of a weapon.
Thursday afternoon, a judge set a $2,000 personal recognizance bond for him.
An incident report states a USC police officer spotted Cook and another man, James Gore III, standing beside a silver 1999 Ford Crown Victoria in the parking lot of USC's East Quad. This was about 9:30 p.m. Thursday.
The officer says as he approached the men, he saw Gore attempting to hid something inside the vehicle. The officer states the men didn't comply when he asked them to show him their hands.
When officers frisked the men, they say they found a gun magazine on Gore. They say Cook told them a gun was in the car. Officers say they found a High Point .380 revolver in the glove compartment of the car.
Gore, 21, is charged with carrying a concealed weapon in a restricted area. He also has had a $2,000 personal recognizance bond set for him.
Rick Scoppe of the Greenville News spoke with Spurrier Friday. He told the paper Cook has been suspended.
"It's not up to me," Spurrier said. "The university has a policy that, to be honest with you, I wasn't 100 percent aware of. I probably have not done as good a job emphasizing to our guys that being around guns is really worse than being around drugs or whatever. But I think we have a policy here that anyone who's in possession of a gun, a loaded gun, is immediately suspended from school. That's what I've been told."
Spurrier called the situation "unfortunate."
Cook, a sophomore from Riviera Beach, Florida, earned All-SEC honors last season by both the league's coaches and The Sporting News. In 10 games last year, he recorded 47 tackles, which was tied for third on the team.
Fans may remember that he forced a fumble during last year's Clemson game. That play is credited with helping turn the tide of that contest.

So if I have a gun I am bad, but if I cook up some METH I am good?0 -
Maybe the Cincy Bengals will put him on their roster. I heard they were going to put tiger stripes on the Hamilton Co. jail's orange jumpsuits to make all those inmates (bengals) feel at home. 0 -

Well....you could have watched Florida destroy Ohio State in the BCS Championship or you could have watched LSU destroy Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl0 -
Is that the california usc that Notre Dame beats up on all the time? 0 -
lol, maybe 10 years ago.
USC will win the national championship this year.0 -
I knew as soon as I read that the weapon found was a cheap High Point that we were not talking about USC. No SC player would be caught dead with such a cheap pistol, much less hanging around an 8 year old Ford Crown Victoria [xx(]! 0 -

Since USC was established in 1880 while the Trojan brand condoms did not appear until about 1920 it is doubtful.0 -
Am I the only one who noticed. Or maybe it was too obvious to mention thus far.

The kid is dumb to disobey the law, etc etc, but...
