If you haven't heard the name Robel Phillipos, you probably need to file it away as someone you need to know about...
After six days of deliberating, Robel Phillipos, a friend of the Tsarnaev brothers, was found guilty on both counts of lying to investigators about being in Dzokhar Tsarnaev's dorm room while two other friends removed a backpack containing potential evidence after the April 15, 2013, Boston Marathon attack.
The bombs placed near the marathon finish line killed three people and injured more than 260.
Phillipos had an interesting defense- marijuana consumption.
Here's the latest on the verdict- albeit a very mixed one...
Boston News, Weather, Sports | FOX 25 | MyFoxBoston
He is facing up to 16 years in prison and a verdict will be given in late January- the same month the Tsarnaev trial is set to begin.
Phillipos will be held under house arrest until then.

AP May Be In Jail All Day... Again...
((HT: MyFoxHouston))
Montgomery County (TX) prosecutors have filed documents to have Adrian Peterson arrested again after he admitted to using drugs in violation of his bond condition.
Which really wasn't all that a smart idea...
Court records show while giving his urine sample during his court appearance earlier this week, Peterson admitted he had 'smoked a little weed' before the test.
As a result, the District Attorney's office has asked the judge in the case to set aside the $15,000 bond already forfeited in the case they're facing and have him arrested again.
Here's the motion by prosecutors to revoke the bond if you choose to view it
Rusty Hardin, Peterson's attorney, hasn't come forward to comment so far.
Which is news in and of itself...
DA Brett Ligon said he wants Judge Kelly Case recused after the she called each lead attorney in the case a "media whore."
Case apologized, saying the comment was meant as a joke. The remark was made after the attorneys wanted something along the lines of an expedited trial.
Hardin wanted something before Thanksgiving- which was denied. And it may be after the first of the year before the trial actually gets underway. It could be after Thanksgiving if the judge isn't bumped.
So, obviously, the timetable is still in play to get everyone into a courtroom...

Crittenton's Gang Ties Questioned All Over Again
((HT: ESPN))
Not that this is a complete shock or anything...
With former NBA'er Javaris Crittenton in an Atlanta jail awaiting his trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and conspiracy to deal marijuana and cocaine, not to mention two more indictments that have even more charges attached.
He was indicted in April of 2013 on a 12-count indictment with his cousin Douglas Gamble in the murder of Julian Jones and the attempted murder of another individual. Jones was murdered in August of 2011 when she was walking with Trontavious Stephens, a known member of the "ROC Crew" street gang. Crittenton and Gamble fired several shots at Stephens but hit Jones instead.
It was widely thought that Jones was not the target, but was the member of the party walking along the street that was hit by the gunfire.
Deputy DA Gabe Banks said at the time that Crittenton was a member of the "Mansfield Gangster Crips" and a member of the gang (or "not" depending on if you ask the person ESPN linked to the Crips) denied Crittenton's involvement with the Crips themselves. But if gang activity can be linked to a case, it may be easier to introduce gang-related evidence... Here's John Barr's handiwork in the Crittenton update:

Davone Bess Quickly Working On Police Hat Trick
((HT: Pro Football Talk))
First, it was (while being on the Cleveland Browns reserve-non football injury list) flashing photos of himself with his current friend "Wacky Tobackee..."
Which he has apparently done twice this season...
Evidence right, thanks to Bess' Instagram account...
Now, while at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport this morning, it is now reported that he was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer. Bess was booked into the Broward County Jail, where he is being held pending a bond hearing.
Bess' sheet is up to three charges from the morning incident: assault on an officer/firefighter, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.
Which would seem to go hand-in-hand...
Bess has been on the Browns reserve list for the last two games of the 2013 season and is, according to sources, has been dealing with "serious personal issues..."

Former Troy Football Player Admits To Murder
((HT: WSFA-TV))
A former Troy football player is being held on $100,000 bond after Dimitri Miles was arrested in the murder of 26-year-old Marquise McClendon inside an apartment in the town of Troy.
According to local police, Miles was actually the person who called to alert police about the shooting. They also say that, during questioning, he confessed to the murder.
A search of Miles' residence ended with the recovery of what is believed to be the murder weapon- a Glock 9mm with laser sight.
Here's the breaker from Troy
WSFA.com: News Weather and Sports for Montgomery, AL.
Troy University Athletic Director John Hartwell released a statement in regards to the arrest:
"First and foremost, anytime there is a loss of life it is a tragic event and our thoughts and prayers go out to the victim and his family. Dimitri Miles was a walk-on student-athlete on our football team who was academically ineligible to compete in competition this past season, but practiced as a member of the scout team. His association with our football team and the Troy Athletic Department has been terminated as a result of these charges which are associated with an incident that occurred off campus."
Miles has been immediately suspended from Troy University.
According to WSFA-TV, the search of Miles' apartment also lead to the discovery of marijuana and digital scales. Miles has been charged with possession of marijuana- first degree- in addition to the murder of McClendon.

Okay, Carl... You Haven't Resigned, You're Fired...
Florida Atlantic withdrew Carl Pelini's resignation as football coach and has now fired him with cause saying he failed to report misconduct by members of his staff...
Assumedly this has to do with the former DC, Pete Rekstis, and his admission he used illegal drugs...
The letter doesn't mention any of Pelini's drug use...
Pelini resigned October 30. But Pelini denied the illegal drug use claim made by FAU AD Patrick Chun- even as another member of the FAU staff admitted seeing him use marijuana and cocaine.
((HT: FAUOwlTV))
The semantics of Pelini now having/needing to repay $500,000 are now moot... which means that lump sum is, probably, now his settlement.
FAU is 3-0 since Pelini was replaced by interim coach Brian Wright, and could become bowl-eligible with a win in the regular-season finale against FIU... which looks promising...
Tom Fornelli discusses the resignation/firing at the time it went down with Tim Brando...

So, It Wasn't Just Pot With Pelini...???
((HT: Sun Sentinel/Kurtenbach))
Dieter Kurtenbach has been on top of the Florida Atlantic saga involving former head coach Carl Pelini and former DC Pete Rekstis- and their admitted to drug use... and he wishes that he could say more in his printed word, but lawyers have themselvs caught up in it at present...
And if you read his Twitter feed, you can see it...
But it appears that the drug use may have gone past just marijuana- the Sun Sentinel newspaper obtained two affidavits from DL coach Matt Edwards and a woman named Allison Stewart. They admitted Pelini use drugs- and Edwards also admitted that he witnessed Pelini and Rekstis using cocaine. Stewart has a text message, apparently, where Pelini admitted drug use.
AD Pat Chun said at his press conference where it was announced that Pelini and Rekstis resigned that Pelini admitted past drug use to him before his dismissal...

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...
((HT: WSB-TV))
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.

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."

Bears' Hurd To Plead Guilty In Drug Case

And this is because most of his co-defendants rolled over on him...
Former Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd was going to be heading to trial very soon on his drug charges. Remember when he went to a cop and said that he wanted to purchase marijuana and cocaine so he could distribute it...???
According to his attorney, Hurd will enter a guilty plea to one count of conspiring to sell cocaine and marijuana. He went from the Dallas Cowboys to the Bears in his NFL travels and the feds were maintaining that he wanted to set up a drug network between the two cities...
It will be interesting to see just how much of the initial 10 years and US$10-million sentence gets put in Hurd's dossier when he gets sentenced over the summer...

DEVELOPING: Crowell Faces Suspension For Felony Arrest (UPDATED)
((HT: AJC/Towers))
Looks like the career of University of Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell has, probably, come to a crashing close...
Crowell, this morning, is in the Athens-Clarke County (GA) Jail (pictured, thanks onlineathens.com/Athens-Clarke County Sheriff's Department) on three weapons charges, two of them felonies.
Crowell is up on charges of possessing a concealed weapon, having a weapon in a school zone and having an altered ID mark on that weapon. His bond, originally set at $7,500, was raised to $9,500.
From Towers:
According to Athens-Clarke police spokesperson Hilda Sorrow, Crowell was arrested at a “vehicle check-point” — or road block — on East Campus Road at Green Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday. Officer Kristin Thornton reported smelling the odor of marijuana in Crowell’s 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. Crowell gave consent to search the vehicle, himself and four other unnamed occupants. No marijuana was discovered but a 9-mm Luger handgun with an altered serial number was found under the driver’s seat. Crowell was immediately arrested and taken to jail and the car was impounded.
Last year, Crowell was suspended for the New Mexico State game for a "violation of team rules" - supposedly for failing a drug test...
He was listed as the Number One tailback in the country out of Carver-Columbus (GA) High School when he signed with the University of Georgia...
Remember...???
((HT: ESPNU/cffinsider))
We anticipate that Crowell will be heading to a place like Jacksonville State and play with Washaun Ealey- the Gamecocks seem to be a roster where Bulldogs go to die...
And how does someone get a Luger at the age of 19...???
Wait, the HQ doesn't want you to answer that...
1500 UPDATE: According to the police report, four other Georgia football players were also in Crowell’s vehicle- outside linebacker Josh Harvey-Clemons, wide receiver Blake Tibbs, defensive back Sheldon Dawson, and defensive back Quintavius Harrow.
None of the four others were charged.
Looks like the career of University of Georgia running back Isaiah Crowell has, probably, come to a crashing close...
Crowell, this morning, is in the Athens-Clarke County (GA) Jail (pictured, thanks onlineathens.com/Athens-Clarke County Sheriff's Department) on three weapons charges, two of them felonies.
From Towers:
According to Athens-Clarke police spokesperson Hilda Sorrow, Crowell was arrested at a “vehicle check-point” — or road block — on East Campus Road at Green Street at 2:20 a.m. Friday. Officer Kristin Thornton reported smelling the odor of marijuana in Crowell’s 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis. Crowell gave consent to search the vehicle, himself and four other unnamed occupants. No marijuana was discovered but a 9-mm Luger handgun with an altered serial number was found under the driver’s seat. Crowell was immediately arrested and taken to jail and the car was impounded.
Last year, Crowell was suspended for the New Mexico State game for a "violation of team rules" - supposedly for failing a drug test...
He was listed as the Number One tailback in the country out of Carver-Columbus (GA) High School when he signed with the University of Georgia...
Remember...???

We anticipate that Crowell will be heading to a place like Jacksonville State and play with Washaun Ealey- the Gamecocks seem to be a roster where Bulldogs go to die...

DEVELOPING: Clemson's Watkins Busted For Marijuana
((HT: WSPA-TV))
Clemson wideout Sammy Watkins and soccer player Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia were arrested by university police and booked early Friday.
Watkins and Dia were arrested on charges of "simple possession of marijuana."
Whatever that means...
Is possession ever "simple...?"
Anyway, the HQ digresses...
Watkins faces a possession of a controlled substance charge- a misdemeanor.
Watkins was, according to reports, scraping his car against a curb while he was driving. The temporary license tag for the car was also not lighted when he was pulled over.
The officer smelled marijuana when he approached the car, and a search turned up two pills that Watkins didn't have a prescription for and marijuana.
Watkins is out on a $1,620 bond and Dia on a $620 bond- both personal recognizance bonds...
More when we know more...
1240 UPDATE: Lisa Horne from FoxSports.com has quotes from Dabo Swinney and Watkins on her Twitter feed...
Dabo Swinney: "I am mad and hurt by the poor decision that Sammy Watkins made."
Watkins: "I will learn from this. I will accept any discipline Coach Swinney and the University issues. I made a mistake last night and I am truly sorry for my actions. I let the team down, the coaches down and this University down."

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.
Here's the original story from our friends at CPO, since it was after all, Brother Phil's old address...
No word yet on the fate of Simpson's roommate, Anthony Collins...

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...???
