4 ounces of Cannabis? Ummm, yeah, that's a pretty harsh penalty if it had been a student...possible felony possession with intent to sale.
They'd been tipped off about a drug transaction and were following him, this isn't his first time apparently and I'm just taking a wild guess here, but there are others involved. If that's the case, it would possibly get bumped up to a Class C Felony and would land him in prison for 1-10 years...if he was a regular student. Of course he isn't a regular student, so that brings me to my next question. Isn't preferable treatment for student-athletes against NCAA rules? What ever happened to Jimmy Johns, aside from starting a fast sub sandwich place? Same situation here, except that Johns was caught dealing Cocaine and it wasn't his first time dealing it either.
