Chiefs TE Michael Merritt gets busted for weed - Page 2

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 the NFL won't be paying for his habit anymore. Guess its back to the car wash.

For he to get in trouble with the law this early and being a late round draft pick, his career is probably over, unless the Raiders or some team full of thugs were to sign him.

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.

Just to think we kept this guy and John Paul Foschi over Michael Allan blows my mind.

What are you talking about? He's still on the Chiefs website!

He just got a negroplasty apparently. He's now known as DVD. He just felt like he couldn't make it in the NFL as a white guy.

Nick Kaczur would like a word with you.

You'd think he would be a bit more law-abiding.

They put out fires, not arrest people. What does having to pour water on a fire have to do with being a law abiding citizen?
