More charges against FSU's McPherson Posted: Thursday January 30, 2003 2:39 PMUpdated: Thursday January 30, 2003 7:15 PM TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- Two more charges were filed against former Florida State quarterback Adrian McPherson for his role in a November check scam at an auto accessories company. McPherson was initially arrested on a felony and misdemeanor charge of taking a blank check from the Tallahassee company. The check was later made out for $3,500 and cashed. Prosecutors contend handwriting analysis shows McPherson wrote the check. On Wednesday they added the felony charges of making out the check and then cashing the forged document. What happened to the money remains a question. Local and state authorities are investigating. McPherson could face additional charges for checks that were cashed at a supermarket chain, assistant state attorney Paul Driver said Thursday. McPherson is scheduled to appear for a hearing March 6. His attorney, Grady Irvin Jr., did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press. McPherson has enrolled at Murray (Ky.) State, where he would be eligible to play football next fall. McPherson started four games at quarterback, replacing Chris Rix after the eighth game of the season. It was the first time in a dozen seasons Florida State coach Bobby Bowden changed quarterbacks for any reason other than an injury. He replaced Brad Johnson, quarterback of the 2003 Super Bowl champion Tampa Bay Buccaneers, in 1990 with Casey Weldon. McPherson appeared in nine games for Florida State in 2002. He completed 80-of-155 passes for 1,017 yards with 12 TD passes and only one interception. He went 3-1 in his four starts, losing 17-7 at North Carolina State in November when the Florida State offense failed to score. |
