COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Former Ohio State and NFL
quarterback Art Schlichter has been arrested on charges
he violated his bond conditions by twice testing positive for cocaine.
Authorities
also say the 51-year-old Schlichter either refused to provide urine
samples for drug testing or declined to show up for such testing three
times.
Schlichter made a brief appearance before a U.S. magistrate
judge Thursday in Columbus following his arrest at his central Ohio
residence a day earlier.
Schlichter pleaded guilty last year to federal fraud charges stemming from a million-dollar ticket
scheme.
Authorities
say the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback whose NFL career was
derailed by a gambling addiction defrauded more than 50 people in the
ticket scheme that began in 2008.
