Roy Marble statement on recent legal issues

Cedar Rapids resident and Iowa's all-time leading scorer Roy Marble released a statement through the University of Iowa regarding recent legal issues:

To: Family, friends and fans of Roy Marble:

I want to take this time to say I'm so sorry to my children: Roydevyn, Royonah, Roichelle, Alexis, Merrick and Royshaud Marble, who now all reside in the state of Iowa. I'm also apologizing to the rest of my family, friends and fans. The past 12 months have been tough, to say the least. I have been in two altercations with the law and I take full responsibility for my actions. Due to a lack of patience and communication I allowed myself to get in the situation I find myself in now. Driving is a privilege, not a right. I also want to say thank you to the Department of Transportation for reinstating my license.

Being the all-time leading scorer at Iowa comes with responsibilities and integrity. I failed at that. I hope in the near future, through my actions and not my words, I can regain your confidence. I also ask that me and my family be allowed to move on. I ask as a parent, not as a former Hawkeye basketball player. I also want to say thank you for the hundred of emails and letters of support on my behalf. Once again, I'm saying I'm sorry to my family, friends and fans. Go Hawks!
