Former Chicago Bulls power forward Corie Blount has pleaded guilty to two counts of marijuana possession, an admission that could put him behind bars for up to 10 years. Part of the plea bargain deal included prosecutors dropping two drug trafficking charges, related to the possession in his properties.
More from the AP report (via SI.com):
Sentencing was set for May 13 in Butler County Common Pleas Court.
Blount was arrested Dec. 4 after sheriff’s deputies intercepted five kilograms of marijuana sent to him at a relative’s home in southwest Ohio. They later searched Blount’s home and say they found another eight kilograms of marijuana.
Perhaps he was just trying to get as high as his former teammate Michael Jordan?
