Oregon’s Messiah Hampton arrested Friday, facing 2 felony charges
According to The Oregonian , the Ducks’ freshman wide receiver Messiah Hampton was arrested on Friday. Hampton is facing two felony charges of attempting to elude police and one misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. He was booked into Lane County Jail on Friday afternoon. The jail confirmed that Hampton was released from custody on Friday, per The Oregonian. Hampton’s charges stem from a high-speed chase back on October 18. Two vehicles were pursued and eventually evaded Springfield officers. Fellow wide receiver Evan Stewart was arrested on DUI charges , but isn’t a suspect in the case of an abandoned car from the chase. Tight end Jamari Johnson was cited for speeding the same night. But police confirmed he isn’t a suspect in the case, either. “Mr. Hampton has been identified as the driver of one of the vehicles,” Springfield Police deputy chief George Crolly said on Friday evening. “We are still working to identify the driver of the other vehicle.” MORE: 4 bold college football pr...
