Drug Charges Against Three North Carolina State Athletes Dropped
Posted on Aug 03, 2010
Three football players from North Carolina State are breathing a sigh of relief. Drug charges stemming from an illegal search and seizure have been dropped. District Court Judge Keith Gregory has ruled that the search of the players' apartment was illegal. The search was performed by an off-duty Raleigh police officer.
According to a warrant, obtained after the seizure, the off-duty officer detected a strong smell of marijuana coming from the apartment. The judge ruled that the police illegally entered the premises without permission or a proper search warrant.
The drug charges against the players included possession of marijuana, drug paraphernalia and maintaining a dwelling for the use of a controlled substance.
North Carolina State's head football coach, Tom O'Brien, stated that at all involved players will be joining the team when it starts practice.
At the time of this report neither the Wake County DA's office nor the defense attorney could be reached for a comment.
