Ex-football player accused of pulling a ‘Jussie Smollett’ in Georgia

[NYPOST] A former tackle for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers was arrested for trashing his Georgia restaurant and making it appear he was the victim of a hate crime, authorities said.

Edawn Louis Coughman, 31, was charged Wednesday with criminal masterminding the Jussie Smollett

...Cable TV actor whose primary talents seemed to be being black and being homosexual. In a bid for national attention, he paid a pair of Nigerian brothers to rough him up a little so he could claim that two large, white, MAGA hat-wearing men had shouted This is MAGA country! while thumping him at 2:30am on a bitter cold night in Chicago and throwing bleach on him, presumably to lighten him up. The story quickly unraveled, and he became a laughingstock and the poster boy for pretend victimization and attention whoredom...
-reminiscent crime at his Lawrenceville business so he could collect from his insurance company and still sell the undamaged appliances he’d claimed were stolen.

Coughman used a yellow crowbar to make it look like a break-in and black spray paint to write "racially-motivated words, swastikas, and ’MAGA’ " on the property, the Gwinnett County Police Department said in a blurb.

Smollett, of "Empire" fame, was accused of pretending he’d been jumped in reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
by thugs hollering, "This is MAGA country!"

Police recovered the crowbar, spray paint and appliances from the bed of Coughman’s pickup truck.

Coughman was charged with false report of a crime, insurance fraud and concealing a license plate.

#4 "Edawn" is bad enough, but who gave his family the name "Coughman"?
They wanted to sound Hebraic but didn't know how to spell?

You mean German, Lex. It just means merchant or shopkeeper.

#10 Doesn't sound like the poh-leese will need to over-investigate (like they did in Chicago).

#14 NFL.com shows him as Edawn Coughman. I think M. Murcek (#5) wins the prize.
