Mark Ingram's dad was arrested last night.....

He was at a Hotel and was just about to sit down to watch the Sugar Bowl.  WOW, that sucks from Mark Ingram Jr....I really can't imagine what he might be going through right now, or what he's gone through since all of this shit started about his father.

NEW YORK -- Former New York Giants receiver Mark Ingram has been arrested in Michigan, nearly a month after he disappeared on the day he was scheduled to begin serving a prison sentence for bank fraud and money laundering.

U.S. marshals tracked the retired wide receiver to a hotel room in Flint, Mich., after a manhunt that began when he failed to turn up at a federal prison in Kentucky on Dec. 5.

A spokesman for the Marshals Service says Ingram was arrested Friday without incident. The hotel wasn't far from Ingram's home in Grand Blanc, Mich.

Ingram, who has been in and out of jail since his playing career ended in 1996, pleaded guilty in 2005 to cashing counterfeit checks and laundering money he believed to be proceeds from narcotics deals.

Before his flight, the 1991 Super Bowl standout had sought to delay the start of his nearly eight-year prison term so he could watch his son's freshman season as a running back at the University of Alabama.

His arrest came just before the start of his son's biggest game: A Sugar Bowl matchup against Utah, which Alabama lost 31-17.

Marshals also had been looking for Ingram in New Orleans, where the game was played, Hogan said.

Ingram's attorney, Raymond Colon, did not immediately return phone and e-mail messages on Saturday.

Ingram spent six seasons with the Giants. He also played for Miami, Green Bay and Philadelphia in his 10-year career.

He is scheduled to appear in a federal court in Michigan on Monday. Ingram will travel to New York, where he was prosecuted, to face charges related to his flight.

8-year sentence plus whatever they tack on for running. He'll be locked away for a while.

they'll tack a lot on.  This has been going on for a LOOONG time.  Some say that's why Mark went so far from home, to get away from all of it.  He has maintaned a level of focus and hard work throughout the whole thing.  Really impressive that an 18 year old is that mature, he's a really good kid.  I hate to hear about the choices of his father.  He was a great in his own right.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
