Dr. McDonald's son and Jamar are very good friends. That's probably all the insurance he needs for a orthopedic injury.

free service like that can be considered as income by the IRS.

Jamar Butler guilty of drug charges
February 23, 2009 6:43 PM

Published Feb. 24, 2009
LORAIN - Former Shawnee High School and Ohio State basketball star Jamar Butler was arrested last week on drug charges.
Butler, 23, pleaded no contest to possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. He was fined $150 and had his driver license suspended for six months, according to Lorain Municipal Court records.
Butler and another Lima man, Demetrius L. Upshaw, 22, were parked in a parking lot just before 9 p.m. Feb. 16 when a Loraine Police officer spotted a suspicious car in a parking lot where police had received numerous complaints and made past arrests for drug sales and abuse, according to a Lorain Police Department report.
When officers walked up to the car Butler was in the driver's seat. Officers immediately noticed a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the car. The men were asked to get out of the car, according to police records.
Butler told the officers he had rented the car. Officers asked him if there were any marijuana inside, which he said there was not. Officers asked for permission to search the car, which Butler granted, the report said.
Officers found three bags of marijuana inside the front console. The three bags had a combined weight of less than 1 ounce, according to police records.
Police asked Butler who the marijuana belonged to and he admitted it was his. He said there were three different bags because each bag contained a different type of marijuana, according to police records.
Butler was arrested and taken to the Lorain City jail.
Butler was Ohio's Mr. Basketball in 2004 and was first-team All-Ohio three years. He played four years at Ohio State including in a losing effort for the National Championship two years ago. He is playing professional basketball in Turkey for Mutlu Aku Selcuk Universitesi in Konya, Turkey.
The Turkey team's name is a combination of the team's sponsors, a company that make batteries, Mutlu Aku, and Selcuk University. The league Butler plays in is on break until Saturday.

Pretty low to post these articles IMO. I've smoked weed, and have seen the inside of a jail just like plenty of people on here I'm sure but we're just protected by a screen name.

What is your deal? Are you really that pathetic and insecure as a person you spend your time looking for ways to drag other people down? EVERYONE(yes, including the "great" rocketboy) made mistakes in their lives, just not everyones are public and as easy to find for a successful player and person like Jamar Butler. You are pretty damn petty for a guy who is trying to be taken seriously as a "news outlet" IMO and need to perhaps grow up a bit and let go of whatever axe it is you feel the need to grind. Seriously did you put money on the 07 title game or something?

Just my two cents.

not be mentioned?

once might be a mistake.......getting caught twice could be considered a trend....
I know that they have "testing" done in high school, college, and the pros........
that would beg the question???......

I didn't give his sons name. His son is also a good friend of mine and he is no saint. To me, friends are friends. If my friend makes a bad judgement, that doesn't mean I don't want people to know we are friends. The reason I don't agree with you posting the article is because it happened 3 years ago. Does he still do it? Maybe, maybe not. I know many people including middle aged people who smoke weed and have been all their life and they are all good people. I also know people who drink and drive, speed, don't wear their seatbelt....

RM,if he's doing it then the people he's hanging out with are more than likely doing it. Probably why clutch has seen the bars a few times as well.

It's always the "everyone is doing it" argument. Like it's acceptable because he's a nice guy. I'm sure he is. My problem with it is that he's put on such a tall platform above everyone because...well I'm yet to figure out why. He didn't do anything in High School, he played at Ohio State and rode Oden to finals bid, and ultimately ended up BACK in not only Ohio, but Lima, playing for a corrupt league. But we're so fast to defend him because why? What moral and ethical practices has he shown anyone since leaving, or coming back to Lima except that he likes to smoke some weed now and again..

Eh, it's just jail, why wouldn't parents let him teach kids how to play basketball at Elmwood.

This is the dumbest thing I've read here in a long, long time. "He didn't do anything in High School".......wow, you must have been a real superstar when you played to say that what he accomplished wasn't "anything".....lol

Lol get off your high horse. I have never been in trouble for drugs and I never will be (haven't smoked weed since 2005). I honestly don't care enough about it to get into an argument. I said my opinion so I will agree to disagree.
