Chad Ochocinco Returns To Cincinnati For Court Appearance
Former Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco, who posted a reception during New England's Super Bowl loss Sunday night, returned to the Tri-State area to appear in a Hamilton County courtroom on Monday. Police pulled over his 2004 Mercury on Fulton Avenue in Walnut Hills on July 21, originally cited for driving with a suspended license and a "window tint violation".
He pleaded guilty Monday to the reduced charge and received two fines totaling $304 from Municipal Court Judge Russell Mock. However, the judge hastened to add, "I guess I would have to issue a larger fine if you would have won last night."
Oh those wacky and zany judges.
Of the fines he's required to make, $200 must be paid by March 26.
After being traded from Cincinnati to the New England Patriots, Chad posted a career-low 15 receptions for 276 yards receiving and a touchdown in 2011. During the Sunday night's Super Bowl, Chad posted only one reception but took part in 22 offensive snaps.
Cincinnati received a fifth round draft pick for the 2012 NFL Draft and a sixth-rounder in 2013 during the Ochocinco trade.

glad we’re paying for them to enforce tint laws and joke about being giants fans. i’ll sleep better tonight..
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
driving with a suspended license?
i think thats worth a court date….

Yes,why would Chad be above the law?
If he wasnt driving around with the tint to dark,he probably never gets pulled over in the first place
I guess Chad’s never been accused of being the brightest player

Yes,but ive been pulled over for it several times
On a 96 suburban,i kinda feel just the opposite getting the tint shit is stupid
I bought the suburban already tinted,and has caused me more trouble,
Its like a fucking siren that says,Pull me the over!
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
the tint law is a waste of money
nothing like paying for the system to police the ability to reflect light off a of piece of glass.
"the bengals are not a west of the 104 longitude team."
Overall
The law is stupid,but the type of person who is driving with a tint darker than the law
For the most part has plenty of other things going on,in Ocho’s case it was a suspended license
Getting pulled over for it,i have several times
Being ticketed for it,has not happened as long as everything checks out,i’m warned and free to go
Now if i act like a jackass when being pulled over,thats asking for even more
No different than having a bulb out,its all the same

Luckily, the Superbowl was in Indianapolis...
and thus not too far away. He can almost claim since he was in the area…. ;)
Speaking of Chad...
After his subpar season with the Patriots, I doubt that they keep him for next year. At least not at the $6 million dollar level, what are the chances he goes to Oakland to reunite with Carson?
ohhhhh palmer would love that
now wheres my sarcasam button

Just hope he doesnt end up here
I’m not sure if NE lets him go,if anyone will pick him up
maybe if the price is low,or injuries
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
He drives a 2004 Mercury??!! WTF!!
"If we always agree, one of us is not necessary"
I was going to joke that he bought it off of Mike Brown
but ’04 is too new for Mike to buy, let alone sell.
"The only thing we have to fear is... Mike Brown himself."
MB drives a 98 Lumina. Chad wouldn't be caught dead in a Lumina.
"If we always agree, one of us is not necessary"
It has tinted windows
I wonder if Chad is on TO’s road to fortune?
that would be sad,and kinda funny at the same time
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
Tinted Windows
on a 2004 Mercury hardly screams blowing his money. Now, the other stuff he does? Without question.

Maybe i should have separated that comment
"A team is more than a group of individuals,its a group of individuals that come together to make a team"
I don't know about that KSE. In hard knocks he was features buying
a Zirconia “diamond” ear stud because he doesn’t think anyone would know the difference. I doubt TO’s ear studs are fake. That is probably why he is broke.
