Oregon WR Arrested, Facing 2 Felony Charges Ahead of Northwestern Game

The Oregon Ducks are dealing with another off-field controversy after freshman wide receiver Messiah Hampton was arrested in connection with an alleged high-speed police chase. Hampton was arrested Friday, Oct. 30, and faces two felony charges of attempting to elude police, along with one misdemeanor count of reckless driving. The allegations stem from an Oct. 18 incident in Springfield, Oregon, when authorities pursued two vehicles before both managed to evade officers. Hampton was booked into Lane County Jail on Friday afternoon and subsequently released from custody. The development comes ahead of Oregon’s Saturday, Oct. 31, matchup against No.
