Jerome Simpson Indicted On Marijuana Charge

Not that the HQ is surprised or anything...

And this was one charge he couldn't go all-Gymkata on and avoid...

A Kentucky grand jury indicted the Bengals wide receiver on a felony count of trafficking marijuana. If he is found guilty, the crime could put Simpson in the pokey for anywhere from one and five years. But, since he does not have a criminal record, Simpson could be eligible for "diversion"- whatever that means.

Simpson has been under investigation since mid-September when 2-and-a-half pounds pounds of marijuana was allegedly delivered to his home from California. Authorities say Simpson's girlfriend signed for the package that was addressed to a "Jason Snider."

The package was discovered by a drug-sniffing dog on its way out of the state of California, according to California Department of Justice spokesperson Michelle Gregory, and tracked to the Simpson address.

NoCal Pot Shipment Tracked To Bengals Home--Updated with Video

((HT: CaliforniaWatch.org))

It seems, recently, that Federal agents have been trying to ramp up their prosecution, tracking, and distribution of marijuana- especially as it has been leaving a section of Northern California called "The Emerald Triangle."

One such shipment that was being tracked ended up, allegedly, at the home of Cincinnati Bengals' wideout Jerome Simpson and lineman Anthony Collins...

A "controlled delivery" was made to the home in northern Kentucky, and when inside, police apparently found another six pounds of marijuana.

Why does this make sense that the Bengals would be involved in all of this...???

More when we know more... just thought you'd like to know this one...
