We haven’t had any blotter stories in a while (amazing what happens when these guys get back to the business of football), but a little bit of follow-up business crossed the desk today.

Arkansas wideout Marques Wade has been fined $225 and ordered to pay $310 in court and county costs to settle misdemeanor charges of driving while intoxicated.

Wade, who Bobby Petrino suspended for the first two games of the season, admitted to coppers that he’d been enjoying the noble weed prior to his arrest.

Former linebacker Freddie Fairchild will be spending about 120 days in jail for allegedly attacking his girlfriend and keeping her against her will.  Nice.

(Sidenote — apparently “pokey” is the correct slang term for jail, not “pokie.”  You’ve learned something here at MrSEC today.  So, like Urban Meyer, I’m an educator and a teacher.)
