What Happened to the "X-Man?"

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

My hunch is that he brought a lot of these charges on himself by not keeping his mouth shut and saying "yes sir" and "no sir".

There are three categories of people I always say "yes, Sir/Ma'am.

1. Cops.
2. Dental hygienists.
3. Online tech support.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

I knew about the seatbelt law, but I was unaware the it was a crime to leave your car running unattended.

TR- UNATTENDED VEH. LEFT RUNNING

Then there are three of these:

TR- SEAT BELT NOT WORN BY DRIVER

Three of these:

TR- FOLLOWING TOO CLOSELY

And two of these:

IMPRPR CHANGE MEETING VETR- HOF LANE WHEN .

My hunch is that he brought a lot of these charges on himself by not keeping his mouth shut and saying "yes sir" and "no sir". He should have watched Chris Rock's public service announcement about how Black folks should deal with the cops.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

I agree that the majority of charges shown are traffic charges, but aggravated stalking, battery, and firearms charges are still cause for significant concern, regardless of how one feels about the marijuana possession charges. The "introducing contraband into a county facility" charge kind of makes you shake your head too..

What's sadder though, is that he's had even more legal issues, since charges on the Orange County search list don't include arrests from other jurisdictions, including his arrests from 2008 in Gainesville for carrying a concealed weapon (loaded 40 cal. handgun in car), and from Jan. 2010 in Tampa that included more charges for drug possession and carrying a concealed firearm.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

I appreciate your reply. Dating violence. Two persons in a relationship where one asserts and/or commands their way over another one by intimidation or by force. I'm unsure what woman would consent to being hit. Beaten up. Slapped around. Being called a whore or bitch in public.

Note, I have no absolutely no grounds to judge that this is, indeed, what occurred between the two adults, but one can insert any number of verbs to also characterise this charge (which is not described in the country clerk's open record).

It doesn't necessarily indicate that Carter and the plaintiff in the case had consensual sex. If the charge does stem from any psychological and/or non-consensual physical violence committed against another person (with or sans the modifier, "date"), Carter may pose a threat to others outside of himself, which is the point to which I held a difference of opinion to your assertion. My opinion is just that, and doesn't make me an expert - not by any stretch of the imagination.

I also do wish the man well. Terrible entanglement from which he's struggling to break free.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

Carter was also civilly sued by C. Greene, accused of Dating Violence (2011-DR-000519-O) which is characteristically described as an outburst of violence that can include intense emotional, verbal, sexual and/or physical abuse. Carter may (have) present(ed) a danger to women he dates, too.

Dating Violence? And? What the hell does that mean? That is one of the problems today, we keep characterizing things as something other than what they are, eventually trivializing what we're supposed to be against. We need to stop segmenting crimes by race, sex, age, orientation or situation - and attaching additional penalties if they fall within that category. Violence is violence! Rape is rape! Stalking is stalking. But, if you make a protective class of everyone not white and male then everyone becomes a second class citizen - including the white males who aren't "protected". :roll:

Without knowing exactly what happened between Mr. Carter and Ms. Greene I'm not going to judge it because if the "violence" was consensual then it wasn't "violence" and if it wasn't then it doesn't need a modifier (minimizer?) like "dating" added to it. It just seems if there were physical abuse that he would have been charged. Women are a protective class in most states and they tend to load up the charges for men who break this societal rule.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

Note that six of the violations appear to have arisen from a single stop for speeding (on January 10, 2011).

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

(Right now, he's only a danger to himself; don't know how much longer we'll be able to say that).

Nothing to see here.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

It looks worse than it actually is. Seat belts, licenses, speed... Hell, I would be concerned about the marijuana, but since the board tends to get righteous about "weed" when it comes to athletes testing positive, why should they have a problem with someone who actually gets caught with the illegal substance?

Now, the stalking is a hell of a lot more serious charge (but there could be more to it; there often times is...), as is carrying the gun, but it shows someone who is more immature than he is dangerous (Right now, he's only a danger to himself; don't know how much longer we'll be able to say that). But, lets be real, if his last name were Busch and all this happened in St. Louis he may have never spent a day in jail or a minute in cuffs.

Nothing to see here. I hope that he can grow up in time to salvage a career in track and field or, more importantly, in life as a free man.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

WOW! I knew he had a lot of trouble before, but this is a little outrageous!

This is very sad. That rap sheet is evidence of a lot of personal issues.

Re: What Happened to the "X-Man?"

In 2009 "DO" (who I assume is David Oliver) wrote that his training mate Xavier Carter had shown great courage in fighting injuries, so Carter had surgery in August 2009. In 2010 Carter placed third at USAT&F ran 20.14 but faded at the end of the season - understandable for a recovery year. However, in 2011 Carter ran 20.53, and failed to make the USAT&F final.

His 20.53 is 0.02 below the Olympic "A" standard, so he can run in the Olympic Trials, but he needs to return to his form of 2006 & 2007 to have a chance to make it to London. Does anyone know what he is doing?

I hope this wasn't a troll question that I fell for, but X-Man's latest legal problem from a couple months ago is still pending and I think the pretrial conference was just today, and his previous legal problem violated his probation among other things, so he hasn't been around to train or compete for awhile, and won't be. Court information is a matter of public record and just requires a search by name, in case anybody desires a better idea of what he's been dealing with. I hope he'll be able to turn things around someday.
