Former Florida A&M swimmers Douglas Cross and S-T Vaughn were sentenced for their part in a 2005 crime spree. The two, along with Gerald Raymond, a former Oklahoma basketball player robbed more than 50 hotels, check-cashing stores and other businesses throughout Florida and Georgia. The pair were sentenced to fifteen and eighteen years respectively. Raymond was sentenced to twenty-seven years.
Cross was the 2004 NEC Champion and conference record-holder in the 100 and 200 breaststrokes and played a role on the Rattlers' winning 200 and 400 freestyle relays. Vaughn finished second to Cross in the 100 breaststroke.
Parents begged the court for leniency on the Raleigh, NC natives, but it wasn't enough to overcome the testimony of victims. The three targeted businesses that employed just one or two female employees, employees whose statements, along withsurveillance video showing the violent nature of the robberies, sealed the pair's fate.
It may just be coincidence but UF is also trying to become one of the most respected academic universities among all public schools.
Find me a school that isn't "trying" to become one of the most respected academic universities ...
Just thought you would like to hear about my friend. He was known as the Gentleman Bank robber. He played waterpolo on our team and was a pretty good breststroke swimmer. Last summer I was in Hamilton Ontario I ran into his brother and he told me he has 9 more years to serve in prison.
I think breaststroke, like my oldest brother, was a rough draft, fly (like me) is the final masterpiece ... :laugh2:
my older brohters could do a pretty good *** stroke but I never really could. I truly believe that a great fly is a masterpiece, as I am also.
Yowza!! It must be those quick hands of the breastrokers, but not quick enough, they got caught in the cookie jar. A backstroker would never try to rob a bank, we can only see where we've been, not where we are going.

Why not leave these great athletes alone. Just because they break the law, I don't think they should be presented as athletes who commited a crime, leave the celebrity out of trials and arrests.
This poor girl was arrested because she did not have the proper paper work ca.news.yahoo.com/.../us_cda_bedard
It's always those breaststrokers trying to get more attention ... look at me I swim breaststroke ...
I thought the flyers were the attention seekers? :thhbbb:
