Albert "Clayton" Smith a former FAMU athletic department employee who was fired after an internal investigation revealed he misdirected funds is fighting the allegations.
Smith was arrested on charges of grand theft on Dec. 16, according to the arrest affidavit. According to the affidavit, Smith was arrested on a third-degree grand-theft charge, meaning he is accused of stealing no less than $300 and no more than $5,000. Smith's attorney, Barbara Hobbs, said her client was already offered probation and he turned it down.
"He is adamant about going to trial," she said.
Before being fired from FAMU, he worked in ticketing.

Go to court. This should get real interesting.
Wonder if he's gonna throw some others under the bus.
you know he is. I'm grabbing my pop corn. this should be good.
I think he needs to take his probation and run. Word on the street says Hump sent him packing for the same thing some years back, the Hornets followed suit and then stupid Castell and Townsend brought this cancer back to campus.
^^^ word on the street? check his personnel file^^^
I want to know who he's going to bring down with him. Should be some nervous folks up in Athletics.
