Clemson University police arrest two students
Clemson University police arrested two students on drug-related charges early Friday.
Samuel B. Watkins IV, 18, a freshman communication studies major from Fort Myers, Fla., and member of the football team, was charged with possession of a controlled substance and simple possession of marijuana, both misdemeanors.
Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia, 18, a freshman in parks, recreation and tourism management from Highlands Ranch, Colo., and member of the men’s soccer team, was charged with simple possession of marijuana.
The men were arrested when police stopped the car Watkins was driving after an officer saw it scrape against a curb on campus and because the temporary license tag was not illuminated. When the officer pulled the car over in a parking lot off Commons Court, he smelled marijuana. During a search he found marijuana and two pills for which Watkins did not have a prescription.
The men were arrested and taken to the Clemson City Jail. Watkins was released Friday morning on a $1,620 personal recognizance bond, and Dia was released on a $620 personal recognizance bond.

The law is the law. You have to follow it. Sammy made a stupid decision, and now he will pay for it.

Scrapped against a curb and tag not lit up. Racist ###### Clemson cops probably profiled him. What a joke those rent a cops are. Clemson cops have always been ####.

Most REAL cops wouldn't pull someone over for something like that. They saw 2 black kids and went for it. I guarantee you if it was 2 white guys in a nicer car the ###### Clemson cops look the other way. Im white by the way I have just witnessed how crappy these people are.

any reason when it is late and they want to search your car. A non-functional tag light is just an invitation to get a "reasonable suspicion" stop based on a "public contact warning". Then it's like, "Oh two dudes in a car, oh, I smell marijuana, beer, etc. Do you mind if I search your vehicle?" Most people panic and forget to say "No, under no circumstances may you search me or my vehicle." I've seen it happen to blacks and whites alike...
