OSG High: 7 Arrested In "Molly" Bust Including LSU Baseball Signee

((HT: AJC/Stevens))

And the HQ knows what you're asking...

"What in the wild world of sports is Molly?" (other than a Ringwold or someone paired with Fibber and McGee)

Molly is a new variant on ecstasy that has a similar make-up to meth and acts the same. Seven ounces of MDMA powder was found in the home and $17,000 worth of the drug was seized along with marijuana and a weapon in what Bartow County (GA) authorities are calling a first of its kind.

Seven people were arrested- including LSU baseball signee Dylan Williams who played baseball at Cass High School, located in suburban Cartersville in Bartow County.

A traffic stop of one of the seven led to a search warrant of that individual's home and the arrest of the other six.

Williams and two other 18-year-olds were charged with trafficking Ecstasy, possession of marijuana with the intent to distribute, and possession of a firearm while committing a felony.

Here's the story on the bust...

All seven were booked into the Bartow County jail and local authorities are saying more arrests in the case are likely. LSU baseball coach Paul Mainieri told the Baton Rouge Advocate newspaper he was informed about the arrest and has talked to Williams' father. From the conversation, Mainieri said, it was his understanding Williams happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. From the Baton Rouge Advocate's Matthew Harris: Mainieri said Williams’ father told him the pitcher had gone to the home to pick up a high school friend to get a bite to eat and “do what kids do” and “police broke into a house he doesn’t even live in, and next thing you know he’s accused of something.” “They obviously feel he’s been wrongfully accused of something,” Mainieri said. “It’s definitely the strangest thing that I’ve ever heard of. As you might imagine, there’s a kid who feels his world is crumbling all around and him and knows he did nothing wrong. If he’s telling the truth, he didn’t do anything wrong.”
Williams could face a minimum sentence of three years in prison and a $25,000 fine if convicted of Ecstasy trafficking. A conviction on the marijuana charge could bring a sentence between one and 10 years in prison.

Jeremy Mayfield In More Trouble

((HT: WBTV-TV Charlotte))

Former NASCAR racer Jeremy Mayfield is in trouble in three separate counties in and around Charlotte, North Carolina.

Mayfield is now charged with five counts of felonious breaking and entering of tractor trailers and one count of subsequent felonious larceny. He is also charged with two counts of felonious breaking and entering and felonious larceny from a building.

He has a court date in June in another county over three charges of possession of stolen goods, one count of obtaining property by false pretenses and one count of possession of methamphetamine.

In a third county, he faces four counts of felony larceny and will appear in that county court April 30.

Back in November, it was disclosed he's behind in his taxes and county folks are a little more than fed up about getting their money...

Here's Maureen O'Boyle and Dedrick Russell


Police raided his home and found stolen goods and meth back in November... here's that search warrant...

Mayfield had his court case against NASCAR thrown out a long time ago, but still feels that NASCAR is in cahoots with the informant that got Mayfield investigated and in trouble.

The HQ thinks that Mayfield will still go downhill before he bottoms out...

Jeremy Mayfield busted with meth...again

Former NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield has some problems. He's had a history of failing drug tests and being tied into used of Methamphetamines.

Mayfield denied the usage after being indefinitely suspended from NASCAR after a failed test in May of 2009.

Now comes word that Mayfield was arrested Tuesday night in Catawba, North Carolina on drug charges.

According to Charlotte TV Station WBTV, Sheriff's deputies went to Mayfield's home on a tip there were stolen goods at the house. They think they found the items they were looking for, but they also found Meth in the house.

Mayfield is out of jail pending a court appearance sometime today (Wednesday) on a $3000 bond.
