ESPN 96.1 in Michigan reports that Lions RB Mikel Leshoure is being arraigned Monday in a Berrien County Court on marijuana possession charges.
The arrest apparently flew under the radar, but ESPN 96.1 confirmed Leshoure's arraignment with the court's clerk office. Leshoure has been nursing a torn left Achilles' since suffering the rupture a week into his rookie training camp. The arrest could blow over, but will likely warrant Leshoure a spot in the NFL's drug program. A second offense would result in a suspension.
Leaf really needs help, he obviously has a very bad addiction. Regardless of his prison sentencing, I hope the state of Montana realizes how badly he needs rehab.
Oh man, now that the full story is out it looks far worse for Ryan Leaf then I first thought. He's really screwed with more burglaries and drug they that originally thought.
HELENA, Mont. (AP)—Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf was arrested again Monday, just days after he posted bail on similar charges that he burglarized a home and stole prescription drugs, authorities said.
Leaf was first arrested on Friday after police found oxycodone pills in his golf bag that an acquaintance later said Leaf stole from his home. Then early Monday, three days after posting a $76,000 bond, he was arrested again on accusations that he broke into another home outside Great Falls, Central Montana Drug Task Force Commander Chris Hickman said.
The owners walked into the home Sunday afternoon to find a “tall man with an athletic build” inside, Hickman said. The man told the owners he had the wrong address and left.
he owners later discovered three bottles of prescription medication missing and phoned police. After describing his truck, his clothes and his “shiny black loafers,” they picked Leaf out of a photo lineup.
A search of Leaf’s home turned up 89 hydrocodone pills loose in the pocket of a bathrobe. Authorities do not believe those were the same pills that were taken from the burgled home, Hickman said.
“We don’t know if he disposed of them or if he has a hiding place where he stores these things,” Hickman said.
Police were seeking a warrant for the GPS in Leaf’s pickup truck for information that will link Leaf to the two burgled homes and possibly lead them to a stash of stolen prescription pills, Hickman said.
More people have come forward with claims of stolen painkillers since Leaf’s Friday arrest, though the task force has not yet investigated those claims. Data from the GPS may also lead police to additional homes where prescription medication has been stolen, Hickman said.
Hickman and other members of the task force arrested Leaf at his home just after midnight.
“When I advised him that he was going to be charged with another count of burglary for the events that occurred, he didn’t show any surprise—and he didn’t make any confessions or admissions,” Hickman said.
Leaf appeared by video from the Cascade County Detention Center in his initial court appearance in Great Falls on Monday afternoon on two felony counts of burglary, two felony counts of criminal possession of a dangerous drug, two misdemeanor counts of theft and a probation violation.
He will remain in jail until Wednesday as his probation supervisors decide whether to release him again on bond or revoke the suspended sentence he was given in Texas in 2010, the Great Falls Tribune reported.
Leaf’s attorney, Ken Olsen, did not immediately respond to a call for comment. A call to Leaf’s publicist was not returned Monday.
The probation violation is related to a plea agreement Leaf made in Texas after being accused in 2009 of burglarizing a player’s home while he was a quarterbacks coach for Division II West Texas A&M. An investigation turned up that Leaf had obtained nearly 1,000 pain pills from area pharmacies in an eight-month span.
His plea agreement gave him 10 years of probation. Randall County District Attorney James Farren said he planned to file a motion Monday to revoke Leaf’s probation.
Farren said the Texas judge in that case could set a hearing date, extradite Leaf for the hearing and then return Leaf to Montana for the proceedings in that state.
“Our argument will be that he should go to prison,” Farren said.
Leaf arrest’s on Friday was the result of a monthlong investigation that started with a tip that Leaf had been receiving small, rattling c.o.d. packages at the post office worth $500 or more once or twice a week.
A search of Leaf and his pickup truck turned up 28 oxycodone pills, a narcotic for which Leaf does not have a prescription, Hickman said. The label on an empty prescription bottle also found in Leaf’s golf bag was made out to an acquaintance, who told police that Leaf entered his house without permission on Thursday and stole the bottle, which contained about 15 pills.
Hickman said police don’t know where the other 13 pills came from.
Hickman said authorities believe Leaf may have broken into other homes over the past 1 1/2 years in search of prescription drugs and is asking those victims to come forward.
The more footage I watch, the more I hope the Ravens draft Dont'a Hightower (ILB) out of Alabama. He looks like the perfect successor to Ray Lewis. He could anchor the defense for a good decade after absorbing all that Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, and Terrel Suggs have to teach him. He was in 2 national championships and was defensive captain last season.
All the analysts expect the Ravens to take Peter Konz (Center) if he's on the board, I'd much rather have a great defensive leader that a guy to sit behind Matt Birk for a year or two.
I can't even tell what those are supposed to be but the new Nike uniforms look great, wonder how much the jerseys will cost, guess we'll find out soon enough.

Gloves…..just like the college ones. Cross your hands and show off the teams logo.
and Nike jersey's...$100 minimum i'd bet for a replica.
I don't like paying a lot for jerseys so unless the Nike ones are aggressively priced I'll just stick with the 3 I already own most likely. Not like I wear jerseys a lot anyway, unless it's NFL season.

It's Nike, they won't be aggressively priced. But when you buy one, you can guarantee that it will be a sharp looking jersey.

You buy them then, I already have 3 -
Staubach and Jones(Felix) throwbacks
Ware replica
I don't need any more since I only wear them during the season and already have fun trying to wear them all regularly. I doubt I'll end up with any Nike ones unless someone gifts me with them. Redskins already saw all they needed to of Griffin, doesn't sound like they intend to invite him in for a private work-out.

It's been reported that replicas will cost $100 and authentic jerseys will be $250. Supposedly the jerseys will be a much higher quality than the Reebok jerseys.
