PromoTheRobot Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Cocaine possession charges dropped. https://www.nbcboston.com/news/sports/drug-charges-against-patriots-patrick-chung-dropped/2061433/ Who could've predicted a New England state's prosecutor would cut a Patriots player a break on a felony charge? Does this also mean no discipline from Uncle Roger? Edited January 14, 2020 by PromoTheRobot 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machine gun kelly Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Well, the disciplinary committee has disciplined players even when they were not prosecuted. You know the deal, the NFL does it’s own independent investigation. I’m not saying he will get disciplined, but it’s possible. You can bet he’ll be tested a lot.

It'll never happen. Roger is holding off announcing the Bengals taping investigation findings until everyone forgets about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Not to defend a Pats loser, but circumstances of the arrest seemed a little sketchy if I recall correctly. Didn’t they essentially respond to a alarm system going off then searched the house or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Goodell Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 The NFL has completed its investigation and concluded that no suspension is warranted in the case involving New England Patriots player Patrick Chung. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 In order to celebrate the dropped charges on Chung, Roger Goodell will be awarding the Patriots an extra compensatory pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless youre implying that someone broke in, set off the alarm, threw cocaine all over the place, and split before the cops got there. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Chung has four conditions to meet: He must stay out of trouble for two years, in this case meaning he cannot be charged with any crimes, felony or misdemeanor, or any major motor vehicle offenses; He must undergo drug testing once a month for the next 12 months, and once every 90 days for the year after that; He must perform 40 hours of community service within the next 18 months, and it must be connected to drug abuse prevention and education; And Chung waives his right to a speedy trial, and understands that failure to comply with the above requirements can lead to New Hampshire reinstating the charges and prosecute him. Chung’s lack of a prior criminal record, cooperation with Meredith Police on the night of the incident, the small amount of cocaine in his possession and his choice to undergo a substance abuse evaluation were all part of the state’s decision to handle the case in this manner, the statement said. Of course now Chung will await the NFL’s decision on whether or not he will face any punishment from the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apuszczalowski Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 When you look at what they are requiring of him, #1 should be a given, don't get in trouble. #2 is already a condition of his work although this is a little more frequent. #3 is something most players and teams already do and could also earn him an award from the league for helping out. 3 minutes ago, Call_Of_Ktulu said: Kraft must love that legal team, he has put together a legal team that would make O.J.’s look like the Jaguars front office.

She took her car to the car wash and the next day I was taking groceries out of the backseat. There was a very small, plastic bag of weed on the floor. I would not believe this story once in 1,000 times but I know her for 10 years. I could pick out the guy who probably dropped it too, he was a very sketchy dude. He was fired a few weeks later for other reasons. That said, if she was stopped by police officers and they spotted the weed, I would totally not blame them if they didn't believe her.
