We’re Gonna Take This Sitting Down
Loren Hargrove Arrested For Cocaine
By Matt Sussman | May 13, 2008 | Filed Under Bowling Green, Football
Update: March 16, 2009: Hargrove was cleared of these charges a couple months later, and this past weekend I interviewed him for a Toledo Free Press article where he was able to tell his side of the story.
Police in Botkins said they seized two kilos of suspected cocaine Monday night, and arrested two people.
They said one of the suspects, 23-year old Loren Hargrove, is a recent graduate of Bowling Green State University, where he was a football standout.
Hargrove was one of BGSU’s defensive captains last year, and he’s still in Shelby County jail. If you look at WHIO’s video report, you’ll see a visibly scared shitless BGSU graduate trying to figure out what the hell happened.
He says it was a misunderstanding. I’d like to believe that.

actually loren has never done drugs since ive known him in highschool. I do believe him because i have known him. He is a good kid, good head on his shoulder, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Speaking from experience, “being in the wrong place at the wrong time” usually requires a conscious decision to be there. What happens after that, goes where it goes. He pushed over the first domino.
loren is like my big brother n ive known him all my life and i think that he didnt do it and he was just at the wrnog palce at the wrong time
my prayers go to loren
karma is a bitch. take that.
Just because you “think” you know someone doesn’t mean you know them. He may not be doing drugs but he could have been selling them…things that make you go ummmm
All of you who are haters need to stop. The media wants to take anyone down who has somthing going for them. Mr. Loren Hargrove was caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Any one who is hating or doesnt believe that, you will be proven wrong.
Loren had money, there was no need for him to sell drugs. whatever happened, happened for a reason. No matter what, Loren I got your back.
Loren is my youngest brother and he has always made me proud of the way he conducts himself,drug dealing and Loren don,t even go together. Its to bad the media didn,t tell the hole story, my brother broke no law. To the person that spoke of karma (Tamika)i pray that you find peace in your heart. I’am sure what ever conflict you and my brother experienced is forgivable. LOL!
Yeah for all those that don’t know… Charges were dropped… So haters keep hating because they will only make Loren stronger… He is not at his best unless he has a group of haters… Do ya thing cuz…
Loren and I grew up together and have stayed close throughout the years. As long as i have known him he has always had a great head on his shoulders and never found himself in any kind of trouble. Loren has a great heart and has always cared for the kids that others would pick on and make fun of. The media did nothing but try to put a bad wrap on his name through this entire process. All charges dropped and still nothing to try and clear his name. There is no doubt in my mind that he will continue to stay on his game and push through all the negativities. We have not seen the last of Loren on the football field.
