Former WR Jerald Robinson arrested, faces multiple felony charges (CONFIRMED)

Posted by user Rockycapp in another thread, he doesn't have the points to start a new post. 

http://www.toledonewsnow.com/story/21672398/troopers-seize-nearly-450-grams-of-marijuana-on-ohio-turnpike 

Felony drug possession and felony drug trafficking.  The title says presumably since it isn't confirmed in the link that the Jerald Robinson in question is the former Michigan wideout, however circumstantial evidence would suggest it is.  Same age, same hometown (Canton, OH), and oh....the Michigan warmups that are acting as a blanket to keep large amounts of weed warm:

 

Assuming it is the right Jerald Robinson and assuming he is indeed guilty of the charges, here's hoping he can eventually be a positive contributor to society. 

Edit:  It is indeed the same Jerald Robinson, confirmed by Justin Rogers/Mlive.  http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2013/03/ex-michigan_receiver_jerald_ro.html#incart_river

  1. I think there is enough circumstantial evidence here to presume with near certainty it's the same guy. 
  2. Lil' Wayne has nowhere near the star power of Jerald Robinson (nor any Michigan football player) within the MGoBlog community.

But likewise, I didn't downvote you before your thread was deleted.  Respect.

If it turns out that this is an unfortunate mistake we'll make sure the title gets changed and the post gets updated. Until then, though, the stuff reported by the TV station seems to support enough to post on the board as possible. Bad press isn't what gets deleted, it's unsubstantiated rumors or something that ended horribly after a bunch of comments (in regards to M athletes in the news).

The extra, empty baggies only add to the "accessories", too. Regardless, they will hit him with multiple counts, I'm sure. Best scenario would probably be felony possession, while the worst  might be somewhere from 5-8 years or more. 

The latter is improbable, but the risk/reward for your pound can't be worth it...especially taking it in transit. Dumb.

The hopi word ‘katsina’ or ‘katchina’ is used in 3 ways. It refers to spirit beings, the mass dancers who impersonate these beings, or the painted wooden figurines, which represent these dancers. The katchina was very important in the religious life of the ancient Pueblo people.

They can pull you over for not having a license plate in the front? That extra plate must cost some extra cash at the Ohio DMV. And how do they prove he intended to sell it rather than smoke it all himself? They just add charges they can't prove so when the plead him down it looks like they are "helping" him. Fact is, regardless of how I feel about it, when those who make/enforce the laws are not well intentioned, better off obeying them.  

There needs to be a "costco law" with marijuana. Buying bulk for personal use can really save you money, but if you get caught with it they can slap an intent to distribute. It doesn't even look like that much if that is all of it in the picture.
