Bears receiver Sam Hurd was arrested Wednesday night outside of a Chicago restaurant after he accepted a
kilogram of cocaine from a undercover
federal agent posing as a drug supplier.
Chicago Tribune - Hurd was charged with one count of conspiring to possess half a kilogram of cocaine with the intent to distribute it.
At the Wednesday night meeting,
Hurd negotiated to buy five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds
of marijuana a week for distribution in the Chicago area, authorities
alleged. He agreed to pay $25,000 for each kilogram of cocaine and $450 a
pound for the marijuana, according to the charges.
Hurd said
at the meeting that he plays for the Bears, gets out of practice at
about 5:30 p.m. and would pay them on the next day, authorities said.
Bears players are paid on Thursdays.
Hurd told the undercover agent and informant that he and someone else
distributed about four kilograms of cocaine each week in the Chicago
area but that their supplier wasn't able to meet their needs, according
to the criminal complaint.
Ok these are easily the dumbest stories to talk about. The dude has been in the league for what six years now. His 2009-2010 salary was $1,545,000. Times that by six years assuming he is somewhere around that as an average salary, then your looking at him making close to 10 million dollars over the past six seasons. And this isn't enough money to satisfy you, so you go out and deal cocaine and marijuana to make an extra couple thousand dollars per year? What a dumb-ass move. Dude deserves to be kicked out of the league and thrown in jail for taking the NFL for granted*.
P.S. Am I getting old cause I thought a pound of weed costed at least $2,000? I guess Hurd pushes swag.
