Orr again cited for driving with suspended license

For the fourth time in just over 15 months, Florida Gators redshirt sophomore defensive tackle Leon Orr has had a run-in with the law.

Orr, who was charged with a second-degree misdemeanor for driving with a suspended or revoked driver’s license in Feb. 2011 and was cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana in January, has once again been charged with a first-degree misdemeanor for knowingly driving with a suspended or revoked license.

Cited Monday for his second nonmoving traffic violation for the same action, Orr has broken a deferred prosecution agreement he promised to uphold in January. As a result of the agreement following his marijuana charge, Orr was supposed to pay $50 in court costs and perform 12.5 hours of community service (or pay another $150 fine) all while staying out of trouble for six months.

His actions on Monday come four months after he accepted the agreement.

Alachua County Court records list Orr as owing $267 in fees, court costs and fines for a speeding ticket he received in Nov. 2011 but has not yet paid; his license has been suspended since Dec. 20, 2011. His arraignment is scheduled for June 6 at 1 p.m.

Though Florida has not released a statement on the matter, Orr tweeted about the incident on Tuesday: “First off I wanna apologize to the g[ator] nation for this bad publicity, but I’m being depicted as a criminal of some sort and I’ve never had hand cuffs on my wrist or been pictured in a stripe jumpsuit! I jus wanna help my team win and provide for my family.”

Orr played in all 13 games in 2011, registering 10 tackles, a sack and a pass defense.
