Clarett granted early release - 21 News Now, More Local News for Youngstown, Ohio -
COLUMBUS, Ohio- Fomer Warren G. Harding and Ohio State football star Maurice Clarett was granted early release from prison at a hearing in Columbus on Wednesday.
Clarett has been in prison for three and a half years on a robbery and gun conviction.
He was released to a dormitory facility in Columbus, where he will stay for four to six months before he is released on probation.
Clarett said he plans to finish his degree and would still like to play in the NFL, saying that his time in prison has changed him.
Clarett's mother, Michelle, said there are many aspects to her son's character that people may not be aware of.
"So it's also been an opportunity to awake the sleeping giant, so to speak, in other aspects. And he's a well rounded person, he's not just a running back," she said.
Clarett had hoped to be released to a halfway house in Youngstown, but was ordered to remain in Columbus.
