I think something under the personal conduct policy is the way the NFL will go with this one. It’s not a good look and they’ll probably punish him under those rules since they won’t get him under the substance abuse policy. You heard it here, folks. Hard drugs are an especially bad look, so I'd bet on a suspension. (Unless the Magic 8 Ball they use to determine these punishments comes up "OUTLOOK GOOD," in which case Chung will get off with anti-drug community service.) And seriously, Patrick. The ultimate professional high wasn't enough for you? Edited August 23, 2019 by y*so*blu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter2_1 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 Back to football, we will actually miss him. One of our more underrated players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 Possession is 9/10ths of the law. Depending on where it was, the break in could be a good legal defense. I think he gets 2 games of ASAP or 4 later in the season or next. Pats are a machine and he’ll be missed but the machine rolls on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s 0.5 g in TN. it is a felony no doubt even 1 gram is a felony. I am just talking about intent to sell. And he got busted in NH not Mass.

He has a summer home in Meredith, all lakes, really nice area. He did not have the coke on him, but in his house, the cops went to the house when the burglar alarm went off , they then went inside and found the coke when they were looking for the burglar. I am sure he is saying that the burglar was having a party while he was at minicamp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had to find other indicators of resale to charge him like that. Could get ugly for him depending on the circumstances. NH doesn’t mess around.

Like I said earlier, legally I don't think it is that big of a deal. He is just charged with possession, no one goes to jail for a first offense. Certainly not one with a real lawyer. He will get dinged by the league though, and get his 4 games. I hope they suspend him now and not wait until the middle of the season or just before the playoffs, that will really suck.

He was indicted for felony cocaine possession (whichever statute it fit, here in TN it would’ve just been possession with intent). The fact that it was indicted is a pretty good indicator the DA wants to prosecute it. Not saying he gets jail time necessarily but I could see some probation in his future. Does the NFL have an escalating clause that mirrors severity of criminal activity? I’m still not clear on that.

You can have up to two 8 balls and not be charged with distributing. Now if you bagged the 2- 8 balls into quarter bags and you were standing on the corner with a pocket full of 10 dollar bills, they may try to pin intent to sell, but I can't see how any jury would ever convict a millionaire with $150/200 worth of coke with intent to distribute. What is the DA is going to try to say that he wanted to make another 50 bucks? NE isn't Texas. The grand jury did not return a indictment for intent.

Which is why I am assuming he was charged in the first place. Edited August 25, 2019 by Golfman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
