Greg Robinson busted with $120k worth of drugs (1 Viewer)

[Hot Sauce Guy]

Based on the small amount, and the overall nature of this, I’m gonna go out on a limb and suggest the crack was his. Because wow, you’d have to be on crack to do this:

I have to give that police force credit,  the nicest raffle prize table ever.

GREG ROBINSONT, UNSIGNED FREE AGENT

Free agent OT Greg Robinson was arrested Monday in Thibodaux, La. on nine felony drug charges.

Robinson, 29, was pulled over for a traffic violation around midnight, and a police dog alerted at the presence of narcotics. Officers discovered 38.89 pounds of marijuana, 3.16 pounds of crystal methamphetamine, 2.22 pounds of cocaine, 4 grams of crack cocaine, 227 doses of hydrocodone, 48 doses of oxycodone and 18 doses of alprazolam along with “a large assortment of drug trafficking and packaging equipment/paraphernalia, firearm magazines and ammunition and a small amount of U.S. currency.” It's Robinson's second drug-related arrest in the last two years after he fell out of the league following the 2019 season. Robinson remained in jail Wednesday on $315,000 bond. The former No. 2 overall pick of the Rams is one of the biggest draft busts in recent memory.
 

9 felonies. Can probably stop referring to him as a free agent at this point. lol

The police dog could sniff that car 30 miles away...

Good to see the all-prison team get a little help on the offensive line.

That has to be more than 120k worth of drugs

Too much weed to be worth that much. 

The bricks of cocaine are something else. 

Anybody got this guy's number? 

 

[rockaction]

Also, drugs should be legal. 

 

[The Big Donkey]

i enjoy your posts but this one I don't.    

 

[ghostguy123]

Legal in what capacity?  This looks like a major drug dealer issue going on.

Cant say I ever can get on board with that.

Thanks. Welp. On to the next one, then? 

Or was it politics in the Shark Pool? That I understand. Probably should delete that.

All legal all the time. No man has the right to tell another man what he should or should not do to his body. Now, that's not a normative issue about drugs and whether or not people should do them, it's strictly from an incarceration/non-incarceration PoV. 

But great minds vary in their thinking about this, so that's fine. This is just my conclusion, which I've held for quite a long time, actually. I'm one of the few conservatives that advocated for full legalization when I was conservative. 

And I should probably not discuss this any further in the SP. I sort of forgot where I was. 

 

[ProstheticRGK]

Yeah, he was definitely dealing. There is even a scale and all of the food saver airtight bags to vacuum seal. Is weed still illegal in OH?

nevermind, I missed he was in Louisiana.

All the time anywhere?  In public??  have you ever seen people on all of the drugs??  Have you seen people on hard drugs around children?

As I said, in what capacity.  Its a much more complex question than your answer suggests.

We probably agree for the most part on the basics, but man, there are some serious gray area issues before you let everyone go YOLO on hard drugs

Someone just sent me. “Longest yard 2” meme with Kamara dead center. 

 

[rockaction]

Oh, I've thought about the complexity of the question. Up to and including third party effects on children, effects on property, effects on society, pragmatically realized autonomy and its limits. 

Same conclusion: For adults, all the time legal. Businesses may prohibit use on premises and zoning laws may prohibit use in public, just like alcohol. Other than age and that, no real other restrictions. Fly it in from Colombia!

So.........basically like it is now?  People using drugs in their own spaces or out of the public basically never get caught or in any sort of trouble.  

I would hope you would agree that having hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs lying around should probably not be legal.

Also, the problem with the hard drugs is that when on them, people dont exactly follow any of the rules of society.  Just sayin.  It's not a simple yes or no.

 

[rockaction]

Yes, it should be, if that is one's prerogative. I'm also talking about the legalized sale and regulation of said sales of the drugs, too. 

 

[rockaction]

So.........basically like it is now?

Nothing like it is now. Our demand fuels cartels in South and Central America and Mexico, our refusal to allow that supply in makes for violent wars on other soil and gang wars on ours because of our black market demand for drugs.

Again like I said, we probably agree on 90% of this.

I was referring to usage.  I have never met anyone "responsibly" using drugs who ended up in trouble for using drugs.

Also as I said, it's more complex than yes/no.  Too complex for this thread. We are gonna get yelled at as it is, lol

The larger overall issue, and NFL Security will look into this, is if Robinson still had ties to any current NFL players and/or current NFL coaches. It's not uncommon for former players to end up as drug dealers who are sources for PEDs for many professional athletes. Robinson grew up with some of these players, went to college with them, socialized with them, went to events with them, etc, etc.

One of the biggest scandals that was buried was the Biogenesis scandal where Rich Paul, LeBron Jame's best friend and agent, wrote out a personal check for PEDs. How stupid do you have to be to be front man/hype man for the more marketable NBA player in the entire world and pay for his drugs with a personal check. Then it got buried.

No sport wants a daisy chain about the rampant drug use by their player corps to hit the national sports daily media cycle.

This is where I think people don't understand the stakes. This is not Peyton Manning we are talking about here. If Robinson is seen as a liability to "The Shield" then it's not that hard to make Robinson go away. Somewhere in a cornfield next to Nicky and his brother.

If someone wants to make a big discussion about the NFL and drug use within it's ranks, the better cross comparison is when Roger Goodell gave Aldon Smith basically a pass from the Commissioner's Hammer when he had a massive scandal/accident involving alcohol. The NFL has a very profitable relationship with the booze industry. They don't want to rock that boat. Even though alcohol contributes to all kinds of social damage. ( i.e. lots of domestic abuse related to booze and Super Bowl Sunday betting)

Gambling is a big No No until some owners could monetize it. Same will go for any "taboo" subject. If incest was super profitable, the league administration would force the Texans to hire Jamie Lannister as their next head coach. The NFL is not opposed to immoral things, whatever that means to anyone, they are opposed to anything that doesn't generate a profit or creates problems for creating a profit.

The NFL owners and the NFLPA know all of the current players are pinning. The stories about Tom Brady and his avocado ice cream is completely ridiculous. But they want it quiet, structured, efficient and deniable.

#2 pick overall by the Rams in 2014, still just 29 yrs old 

-I understand how folks would act shocked but there's large bags of weed laid out there, typically folks like Greg get a sweet deal when they buy in bulk plus there are so many weed farms in this country now that finding folks with $25k-$50k(street value) of weed doesn't seem that strange for folks that are rich in comparison to the average guy. He ;ikely unloads those bags you see in WHOLE, meaning he isn't cutting it up into dime bags. 

Sad he couldn't use his money he managed to receive from the NFL and start a good life for himself away from perhaps the drugs and black market lifestyle he may have been exposed to as a youth. 

@Leroy Hoard I wish the laughing emoticon had not been removed, you have some of the funniest responses. I use the   as my way to show heavy laughter and to say thank you. 

Cheers!

What was routine at a Midnight traffic stop? Was he speeding? 

-Why was there a canine smelling around his car? It's not routine to be pulled over and the officer just happens to have a K-9 dog in the car, that's not common. 

-Why would Robinson have to allow officers on to his property afterwards? He must have said the wrong things on the initial questions. He shoulda kept quiet, allowed them to book him for whatever was in the car. 

Just some basic questions I would want to know when reading the story. 

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Yeah, he was definitely dealing. There is even a scale and all of the food saver airtight bags to vacuum seal. Is weed still illegal in OH?

nevermind, I missed he was in Louisiana.

I'd like to use this post to explain the market on weed in a lot of States that are not Colorado. 

-Florida allows you to have a medicinal marijuana card and you walk into the dispensary...wanna say that's been in play maybe 3-4 years I've watched this unfold here. 

-The issue is when you go to the dispensary they charge a lot for the traditional flowers and you might be use to paying "X" per gram and they are charging quite a bit over with no discount for buying any kind of volume so folks get tired of that experience and go back to the underground markets we'll call them and dealers continue to make money even though the weed is legal. 

-Florida still has not passed recreational and we don't have coffee shops yet where you can wake n bake like a normal person, hoping that changes soon.

The stories about Tom Brady and his avocado ice cream is completely ridiculous. 

Ingredients:

1 avocado (ripe and soft)

1/2 cup raw cashews

1/2 cup coconut meat (from young coconuts)

1 1/2 cups dates (pitted)

1 cup raw cacao powder

1 1/4 cups water

Directions:

1. Blend all ingredients in a high-powered blender until smooth.

2. Put mixture in freezer until ice cream reaches desire thickness. (For quicker ice cream, freeze half of the water into ice cubes before blending.)

3. Scoop ice cream into four dishes and serve with your choice of topping.

someone said he had a scale & baggies.

There’s simply no way that this hoard was for personal use.

No one would really want ~40 lbs of weed for personal use. After a not very large amount a resistance would be built to any single strain. Wealthy people are into designer varieties, not bulk discounts.

Dude was clearly dealing. 

Unless your post is sarcasm, in which case, my bad. 

Ps - the police dog seems like either a fortunate coincidence, or a convenient means of illegally searching someone’s vehicle. Usually “police dog” =/= “drug-sniffing dog”. Those are often 2 different disciplines. You’ll find hounds, beagles, etc who’ve received specialized training to sniff out drugs or bombs (usually not both). Police German Shepherds or Malinois are more often trained to take people down. So I’m skeptical that a police dog in LA had such specialized training.

It’s just another version of a cop saying, “I smelled marijuana” to create probable cause. If Robinson’s attorney is smart he’ll look into that aspect further, because the entire case rests on that potentially flimsy override of Robinson’s right against illegal search.  If he can prove that dog didn’t have drug detecting capability, then I believe the seizure (and related drug possession charges) becomes the “fruit of the poisoned vine”.
