Chiefs TE Michael Merritt gets busted for weed

In Scott Pioli’s former place of employment, players generally stayed on the right side of the law.

In his new NFL city, a holdover player has likely doomed his chances of sticking with the team by getting arrested.

Tight end Michael Merritt was busted on Thursday morning in Orlando for suspicion of marijuana possession.

A police officer allegedly saw Merritt rolling a marijuana cigarette while sitting in his car. When Merritt saw the officer, he put the item in his mouth.

The officer then ordered Merritt to get out of the car and “spit it out.”
Merritt complied, and then allegedly said, “All this for a little bit of weed?”
A search uncovered three grams of marijuana in Merritt’s shoe. (Apparently, it wasn’t a turkey bag.)

Per league rules, Merritt technically can’t be released or otherwise disciplined by the team as a result of the arrest. Instead, discipline would be imposed only by the league, pursuant to the substance abuse policy.
In most cases, marijuana possession results in a one-game suspension, after a conviction or guilty plea.

Looks like Pioli is going to have him whacked.

That was just my assumption.

I think he was also making a "Pioli looks like the guy from the Sopranos (James Gandolfini) so he would get anyone who pissed him off whacked" reference.

If I was going to smoke weed in the NFL I would do it AT HOME with people that I know

If you invite Saggysack over, be sure to confiscate his cameraphone.

I am not watching that! I don't want the movie to be ruined. I will watch the movie in its entirety first.

Good thing Johnny Law got this dangerous criminal off the street. Just imagine the number of kids he could’ve perverted with that extra dube and a half of wacky tobacky stuffed in his sock.

He was about to drive. I think that's a problem. I'm all for people doing what they want, but I don't want them endangering people. Just imagine if he crushed in the skulls of some kids playing in the street because he was stoned. Then it would be a big deal.
