Sam Hurd facing drug charges

[elcheato]

CHICAGO — Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd was in jail Thursday after authorities accused him of trying to set up a drug distribution network in the Chicago area and arrested him after he allegedly agreed to buy a kilogram of cocaine from an undercover agent.

According to the federal complaint, Hurd was arrested Wednesday night after meeting with the agent at a Chicago restaurant. The complaint contends Hurd told the agent that he was interested in buying five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to distribute.

Hurd told the agent “his co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals” while he focused on “higher-end deals,” the complaint said. He allegedly said he could pay for the kilogram of cocaine after “he gets out of practice,” then walked out of the restaurant with the package and was arrested.

The complaint alleges that Hurd also told the agent that he and a co-conspirator already distribute about four kilos of cocaine a week in the Chicago area, but his supplier couldn’t keep up with his demands.

He was scheduled to make his initial court appearance later Thursday. It wasn’t immediately known whether he had an attorney.

Hurd, a 26-year-old native of San Antonio who played college ball at Northern Illinois, played for five seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and is now in his first season with the Bears. He has contributed mostly on special teams, playing in 77 games overall with six starts and two career touchdowns. He has played in 12 games this year, catching eight passes for 109 yards.

The complaint says an informant tipped off authorities in Texas in July, leading to an investigation in which an unidentified acquaintance of Hurd’s “negotiated” for approximately five kilograms of cocaine on the player’s behalf.

According to a report from 670 The Score (via CBS Chicago), "Hurd was a top drug dealer in Chicago and police have a list of NFL players who were supplied drugs by the receiver, a law enforcement source told the radio station. The list is 'in the double-digits,' according to the source."

What a fucking idiot.

This piece of shit gets paid millions to play football and he finds the need to still be a drug dealer? Fucking dumbass...

I can't wait to find out what other dumbasses were being supplied drugs by this loser. Way to ruin the rest of your life Sam. Wouldn't expect much else from an NIU alum like yourself.

From the sounds of it, guy probably spent more time working on his drug operation than studying the playbook.

Sounds like it could be a spinoff to a new series on HBO.

Hopefully Jerome Simpson is involved so I don't have to see him in a Bengals uniform again after this year...
