TAMPA - An arrest warrant has been issued for former University of South Florida strong safety Carlton Williams for violating probation, according to Hillsborough County online records.

Williams was sentenced to 12 months with probation in February 2008 for a misdemeanor charge of obstructing an officer without violence. But an arrest warrant was issued for Williams on Jan. 15.

A four-year starter, Williams had started 26 consecutive games before he was benched in the final game of his career - the St. Petersburg Bowl - for a violation of team rules. Williams said after the game his suspension was because he had missed curfew.

A few days before the St. Pete Bowl, Williams and teammates Jerome Murphy and Cedric Hill were involved in an incident in Ybor City and they were suspended for the first half of the bowl game.

SENIOR BOWL: Local hero Pat White passed for 95 yards and a touchdown and directed two scoring drives to lead the South to a 35-18 win against the North on Saturday in the Senior Bowl, a showcase for many top prospects.

The West Virginia quarterback is a native of Daphne just outside Mobile, Ala. The most prolific running quarterback in major college football history, projected to be a receiver in the NFL, White stood out among a group of high-profile signal-callers and was the game MVP. White's TD was a 39-yard toss to Mississippi's Mike Wallace.

Alabama's John Parker Wilson also played well, completing seven of 13 passes for 56 yards and scoring on a 4-yard run in the first quarter.

Wilson was named the offensive player of the game, while Robert Ayers of Tennessee was named outstanding defensive player.
