Last April 3 high school kids tried to hold up a drug dealer with a realistic looking, but fake handgun. The guy happened to have a real gun and defended himself, and one of the kids was killed. One of the kids, Raymond Williams, trying to attempt the hold-up was the reigning Mr. Football for Ohio and a prized WVU recruit.
Today Williams was given probation for the role he played in the death of his friend.
Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold said Williams and Huddleston were “extremely remorseful” and placed them on probation, providing they attend college within six months and maintain a C-average. If they violate probation, they could be sentenced to three years in prison.
Williams has completed his high school course in Cleveland public schools but his graduation status is being reviewed by the school district. Huddleston’s high school status is unclear.
No word if he will get his scholarship offer back from WVU.
