Interesting how UCF fans had no problem allowing Worton to return after beating up a policeman...
Quite the tight ship Honest George is running in Oviedo....

UCF receiver J.J. Worton arrested after altercation with deputy

UCF wide receiver J.J. Worton was arrested and charged with felony resisting arrest with violence and felony battery on a peace officer early Sunday morning, according to jail records.
Orange County jail records state Worton, a 20-year-old from Homestead, was attending a St. Patrick's Day block party outside of popular UCF area bar Knight Library when an Orange County Sheriff's deputy ordered him to leave the area. Worton cursed at the deputy dressed in his official uniform and refused his orders.
A sheriff's deputy reported he placed his hands on Worton's arm, but Worton resisted and swung at the deputy with a fist in an attempt to punch him.
The deputy evaded Worton's punch, and Worton ran south through the parking lot. After deputies searched the area, they found Worton hiding under a parked vehicle. He agreed to move out from under the vehicle. When the deputies attempted to place handcuffs on Worton, began to physically resist arrest.
The deputy grabbed Worton by the waistband, and reported Worton "punched me in the face with a closed fist."
