The Rose Award for 4-5-2008

The Rose Award for 4-5-2008 goes to Cleveland Browns DB Kenny Wright,
who was released from jail after posting $5,000 bail following a foot
chase and arrest for a disturbance outside a police station. Wright
was charged with unlawful restraint, evading arrest and possessing
marijuana. Police said they found marijuana in his vehicle. Police
said they were investigating an argument in the station parking lot
Thursday when the 30-year-old football player took off and led
officers on a quarter-mile foot chase. He was caught in a nearby
subdivision of the Houston suburb. The unlawful restraint charge
carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail, while the other counts
carry terms up to six months.

The Rose Committee salutes Kenny Wright for his well-deserved Rose
Award. His actions, including his arrest and incarceration, truly
exemplifies the morals and character of the namesake of the Rose
Award. Congratulations, Kenny Wright!
