Sam Hurd Gets 15 Years For Distribution Scheme

((HT: WFAA-TV))

Sam Hurd was arrested in Chicago in December of 2011 when he thought he was meeting with members of Mexico's dangerous Zeta drug cartel. He wanted to buy up to 50 kilos of cocaine a week to distribute it in Texas. He had a dozen guys ready to help move the stash, but it turned out that he was wrapped up in a sting...

In court yesterday, Hurd pleaded guilty to one count of trying to buy and distribute large quantities of cocaine and marijuana.

Hurd asked for a second chance in open court, but District Judge Jorge Solis said he was being penalized for wanting to be a significant drug dealer, not because he was an athlete...

Here's the report from the courthouse...
