Former Ohio State tailback Maurice Clarett was indicted Thursday on new charges, which are related to a highway chase and violent struggle with police.
Police found that Clarett had three fully loaded semiautomatic handguns and another loaded automatic rifle in his SUV. He was indicted on five charges that include carrying a concealed weapon and two counts of failure to comply with an order from a police officer.
Clarett, who's being held in the Franklin County jail, already is set to go to trial on Sept. 18 on charges accusing him of robbing two people of a cell phone outside a bar early on New Year's Day. Last week, Clarett's attorneys asked the court to pay for a public opinion poll to determine if an impartial jury could be seated for that trial in the county where he once starred on the field. But Common Pleas Judge David W. Fais denied the request Wednesday.
