Miami fullback Martin Patton and former Hurricane player Soloman Moore have been indicted by a federal grand jury in an alleged $3,000 spending spree on a credit card misdelivered to Patton’s house.
An attorney for a former Miami athletic department employee under investigation for allegedly falsifying financial aid grants charged Wednesday that the credit-card case is being used as leverage in the other federal probe.
Patton, one of the top receivers and rushers on the nation’s top-ranked team, is in trouble for a second time this season.
He was suspended a week before the alleged credit-card thievery Nov. 18 for breaking a team rule when he scuffled with officers and was arrested after a motorcycle accident near campus.
