Tribe's Perez Under Investigation For Pot Package...??? (FRIDAY UPDATE: Perez's Turn Themselves In)

((HT: WJW-TV))

Cleveland Indians’ relief-pitcher Chris Perez is under investigation and might be in trouble with suburban police for a drug incident. Police were tracking a package going to a home that Perez currently rents.

The package was to be thought to contain a "controlled substance"- supposedly marijuana...

Multiple agencies are involved in the investigation: a suburban Cleveland narcotics unit, the U.S. Postal investigative services and local police.

At a news conference called this afternoon, the Rocky River (OH) police said it was not known for whom the package in question was intended or who ordered it.

Here's their presser with Police Chief Kelly Stillman...


The Indians released your standard statement:

“Earlier this morning we were made aware of a situation involving RHP Chris Perez that occurred yesterday in Rocky River,” said Cleveland Indians GM Chris Antonetti. “We have talked with Chris and are currently in the process of gathering additional information. We will not have any additional comment at this time.”

No charges have been filed at present. But any charges that might come from the search of the home will follow lab tests that would identify the substance in the package.

FRIDAY UPDATE: The Perez's, Chris and his wife Melanie, turned themselves in to local police...



Police say the Perez's turned themselves in after they were both served with complaints for misdemeanor possession, and they were released on personal bond. Arraignment is scheduled for June 19th...

The marijuana in the investigated package had a reported weight (according to WJW-TV) of 163.9 grams, through contact with Rocky River (OH) police.

Here are the details on the package itself...

It turns out that the package was addressed to the family dog...and the Indians are, naturally, disappointed...

"Clearly, we take these matters seriously and are disappointed whenever there is any negative attention brought to the Indians organization or one of our players. We understand and respect that there is an ongoing legal process that we will allow to evolve."

Uh oh...Indians Chris Perez vs. A's fan on Video (NSFW)

((ht: larrybrownsports.com))

Wow! 

Let's just say before we get into this story, we aren't defending either side in this one, because they were both wrong.

Cleveland Indians closer Chris Perez had a rather NSFW "discussion" with an Oakland A's fan who, according to our friends at Larry Brown Sports, had been harassing him for years.

This time, the fan went to find Perez again, and brought a friend, with a cellphone camera which just reeks of "Set-Up". But...that being said, Perez should never have walked over and confronted the guy, especially if he'd seen someone standing there with a camera recording it.

Wow!

There is really not much to say here. Like we said earlier, it's hard to believe the A's fan is such a DOUCHE that he felt compelled to entrap Perez. It's even harder to believe Perez fell into his trap. And while it might have been Karma if Perez kicked the crap out of the dumb-ass fan, unfortunately, you can't do that.

What do you do here? Can you stop fans from being incredible DICKS? How many times can you tell players ignore the fans?
