It was a few weeks ago when Ryan Sprague initially became alerted to the potential trouble facing former Florida State teammate Kamari Charlton. Sprague said urgent pleas posted by Charlton's wife on her husband's Facebook page were alarming.
"It was things like, 'I can't believe this can happen' or 'This could be happening' and she was generally broadcasting that she needed help," Sprague told FanHouse Saturday.
"Your initial reaction is this can't be true, or can't be happening, and reading about a friend makes it personal."
Charlton (right), who played at FSU from 1992-96, could be caned for staying in Singapore with an expired visa. Charlton's problems mounted on Friday, when he was charged with fraud for allegedly scamming an Australian man out of thousands of dollars.
Police also are investigating Charlton for money laundering, according to The Associated Press.
Charlton's bizarre saga also has caught the attention of the U.S. State Department, which has spoken out against caning and says it continues to monitor Charlton's situation.
