The fall of Adrian McPherson.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Roger Mooney
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. _ Otis Livingston avoided the police for as long as he could, right up until the morning they pounded on his front door.
Even then, Livingston wasn't going to answer. It was 9 a.m. on Feb. 12, and he had been sleeping. He was sure whoever was knocking would eventually leave. But the pounding persisted, and when he looked out the window he saw five officers.
Tired of waiting for Livingston to come to them, the police instead had come to Livingston.
They wanted to know about his friend, Adrian McPherson, the only Florida prep player to be named Mr. Florida in both football and basketball and, for one month, the starting quarterback at Florida State.
Did McPherson gamble on the Internet?
Did he bet with a bookie?
