Trouble for Bam Morris

An arrest warrant has been issued in Texas for Baltimore Raven running back Byron “Bam” Morris as part of an attempt to revoke his 10-year probation on a 1996 drug conviction. Morris’ lawyer, Jay Ethington, said the player would turn himself in by Friday.

The disrict attorney’s office in the Dallas suburb of Rockwall said Morris’ probation should be revoked because he violated two conditions of his probation by using alcohol and by failing to report to his probation officer seven times from July 1996 to August 1997.
