The fact they continously get in trouble with the potential they have is very mind boggling or shocking but getting involved with alochol and drugs does not shock me in the least bit as it doesnt matter who or what you are....

Just have to look at their roots and most of these guys grew up in a difficult environment. Many of these players grew up without fathers, joined gains, etc. So yeah its not a shock.

Jones faces felony drug charge, suspected of cocaine possession

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Matt Jones faces a felony drug charge in his former college town after police say he was inside a car cutting up cocaine with a credit card.

Jaguars receiver Matt Jones is shown here in the booking photo released by the Washington County Detention Center in Fayetteville, Ark.

The 25-year-old Jones and two others were arrested early Thursday. A police report said officers approached the car and an officer drew his handgun after Jones did not immediately show his hands.

Police said they searched the vehicle and found a plastic bag filled with a white substance that tested positive for cocaine and a jar with possible marijuana residue.

Jared Hicks and Benjamin Cook were also arrested on misdemeanor drug charges.

Jones was released from the Washington County jail on $2,500 bond. His arraignment on a charge of felony possession of a controlled substance was set for Aug. 11, two days after Jacksonville's preseason opener against Atlanta.

Police said 6 grams of cocaine was found. The threshold for potential charges of possession with intent to deliver is 1 gram. However, prosecutor John Threet said there is no evidence that Jones intended to deal the drug.

Jaguars owner Wayne Weaver said he was waiting to learn details of the case.

"We're trying to investigate that now," Weaver said. "We don't have all the facts. We will comment on that once we have all the facts."

Jones, a star quarterback at Arkansas and a first-round pick in 2005, failed to develop into the go-to receiver for Jacksonville.

Jones caught 77 passes for 1,075 yards and nine touchdowns in his first two pro seasons, but he struggled in 2007.

Last season, coach Jack Del Rio became increasingly frustrated with Jones' demeanor and work ethic, making him inactive for three games. In the offseason, the Jaguars signed free agent Jerry Porter and traded for former first-round pick Troy Williamson.

Ex-Gator Dupay charged with felony rape, kidnapping in Utah


PARK CITY, Utah -- Teddy Dupay, who played on Florida's runner-up team in the 2000 NCAA tournament, was charged with beating and raping a woman last month at a Utah ski resort.

Dupay acknowledged in court documents that he and the woman got "a little rough" but denied committing rape. The woman said she and Dupay had a two-year relationship, but it was not clear whether they were still a couple when police were called to a Deer Valley lodge June 19.

The 29-year-old Dupay was charged last week with felony rape, aggravated sexual assault and aggravated kidnapping. He is to be arraigned Monday in 3rd District Court.

Investigators say the woman had two fractured ribs, bruises on her arm, shoulder and thigh, a swollen left eye and scratches on her back. The woman said Dupay kicked and punched her repeatedly before she was raped, according to court documents.

Dupay could not immediately be reached for comment and did not have an attorney on record to represent him as of Thursday.

Dupay played three seasons at Florida before he was dismissed from the team prior to his senior season. Evidence surfaced that he asked another student to place bets for him on Gators basketball games. Dupay was never charged criminally with gambling violations.

Zendejas charged with four felony counts

LOS ANGELES -- Former Los Angeles Rams kicker Tony Zendejas was arrested early Thursday on charges of drugging and raping a female customer of his San Dimas sports bar in January.

The Los Angeles County district attorney's office said the 48-year-old Zendejas was arrested on felony warrants at his Yorba Linda home.

Deputy District Attorney Rouman Ebrahim said Zendejas was charged with one count each of rape by use of drugs, rape of an unconscious person, sodomy by anesthesia or controlled substance and sodomy of an unconscious victim.

Prosecutors alleged that on Jan. 26, Zendejas gave the customer a drink that made her groggy. The patron told authorities she woke up in a nearby motel room and alleged she had been raped.

Zendejas was held in lieu of $260,000 bail, with arraignment scheduled for Friday at the Pomona courthouse.

His attorney, Timothy Younger, said the allegations were false, the Los Angeles Times' Web site reported. A request by The Associated Press for comment was left at Younger's office.

If convicted, Zendejas could face up to 15 years in prison.

Zendejas retired in 1995 after playing 10 NFL seasons, including stints with the Rams, Houston Oilers, Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers.

He was perfect kicking field goals for the Rams in 1991, going 17-of-17. His only miss that year came on one of his 26 extra-point attempts.

Report: Patriots' Kaczur had 202 pills when he was arrested .... THEN BECAME A RAT !!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When New England Patriots offensive lineman Nick Kaczur was arrested in upstate New York in April, he had 202 OxyContin pills labeled as being made in Canada, according to police reports, The Boston Globe reported.



Kaczur was arrested in New York on April 27 after police said a small amount of OxyContin was found in his truck following a traffic stop. Kaczur then helped federal authorities arrest the man who was allegedly supplying him with the drug, according to the alleged dealer's attorney.





Kaczur

Next week, Kaczur is scheduled to be arraigned in Whitestown, N.Y., town court on a charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor. OxyContin, a powerful and potentially addictive ************ painkiller, is also sold as a street drug as its effects mirror those of heroin.



According to police reports, Kaczur, who was returning from his hometown of Brantford, Ontario, had the pills in his pocket when he was pulled over on April 27 on the New York State Thruway in Whitestown, just west of Utica.



A spokesman for the company that makes the pills and a drug industry specialist said the pills, each marked CDN on one side, were made in Canada and imprinted to help prevent cross-border smuggling of OxyContin, according to The Globe.



The attorney for the suspected drug dealer, Daniel Ekasala, said his client was not the source of the pills police found in Kaczur's truck. Ekasala, who allegedly sold OxyContin to Kaczur three times while Kaxzur was a cooperating witness for federal officials, has pleaded not guilty to three counts of possession of oxycodone with intent to distribute.



Ekasala's attorney, Bernard Grossberg, disputed Kaczur's assertion that Ekasala sold him pills marked CDN, according to the report.




"Those are Canadian pills, and Ekasala is not the source of those pills," Grossberg said, according to The Globe. "It just begins to raise questions about Kaczur's credibility."



Kaczur's attorney, Steven J. Comen, declined to comment on the report. "Out of respect for the ongoing legal process, we cannot comment at this time," he said, according to The Globe.



Friday, Patriots spokesman Stacey James said "I will confirm that he is still on the team, but we are not providing additional comment," the newspaper reported.
