Cavalier starting sophomore quarterback Peter Lalich responded yesterday to allegations of probation violations in a press conference.
The Daily Progress reported Sept. 5 that Lalich had admitted to court officials that he drank alcohol underage and smoked marijuana while on probation, citing Charlottesville General District Court documents. Lalich, however, countered those claims last night at the press conference.
“I have not smoked or done any drugs while on my probation,” he said.
Many members of the team are standing behind Lalich in this situation.
“From what I know it might have been a misunderstanding, but we know Petey’s done everything they’ve asked him to do,” senior tight end John Phillips said. “We have confidence in our quarterback and in Petey, and we trust what he says is true.”
Lalich is scheduled to appear in court Sept. 26.
