NBA: Ex-Player Blount Caught with 29 Pounds of Marijuana

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) — Former NBA player and University of Cincinnati basketball star Corie Blount will be sentenced on marijuana charges that could put him in prison up to 10 years.

Wednesday's sentencing in Ohio's Butler County comes more than a month after the 40-year-old Blount pleaded guilty to two felony possession counts. As part of a plea bargain, prosecutors dropped two trafficking charges.

Blount was arrested Dec. 4 after sheriff's deputies intercepted 11 pounds of marijuana sent to him at a relative's house. Investigators said they found another 18 pounds in a subsequent search of Blount's home.

Blount was a first-round draft pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1993 and played for several other teams, including the Cleveland Cavaliers, during an 11-year NBA career.

I heard on a radio interview that he claimed all 29 pounds were for personal use, now thats a hell of a lot of personal use

You would think after only a month earlier catching a break and escaping trafficking charges he would learn his lesson. Bright fella.

He went to UC. There's nothing bright about him (or his former teammates) and never will be.
