Sam Hurd Busted By Feds For Drug Charges

[pHILSANITY07]

Bears receiver Sam Hurd has been arrested on federal drug charges.

The Dallas Morning News reports that the arrest took place in Chicago but relates to an attempt to purchase drugs from a supplier in North Texas, and that a Texas-based office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement is handling the investigation. Hurd played for the Cowboys from 2006 to 2010.

Hurd has played in 12 games for the Bears this season, mostly on special teams. On offense he has eight catches for 109 yards.

UPDATE: The criminal complaint accuses Hurd of conspiring to possess with intent to distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine.

UPDATE 2: The Bears released the following statement: “We are aware of Sam’s arrest and are continuing to gather details surrounding it. We are disappointed whenever these circumstances arise. We will deal with them appropriately once we have all the information.”

You have to find a way to stretch that shirt income when you're a shitty receiver.

Nope...
500 grams is half a kilo, so probably between $6500-$8000
But they way they run the charges it is >500 grams so there is no telling how much it actually was.

Poor little sam, his at least 6 figure salary just wasn't enough to feed his family with. Surely, the man was keeping him down, and he had no other choice but to sell some yay.

stupid ass

The story I just read on ESPN was talking big numbers of coke and weed. This guy is a serious idiot, why the hell would anyone making that much money decide they want to deal drugs too?

**EDIT**
At that meeting, Hurd told the informant that he wanted to buy "five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week for distribution in the Chicago area," according to the complaint.

Hurd allegedly negotiated to pay $25,000 per kilogram for the cocaine and $450 per pound for the marijuana. The complaint says that Hurd "further stated that he and another co-conspirator currently distribute four kilograms of cocaine per week in the Chicago area, but that the supplier could not supply him with enough quantity."

Yeah I was looking at articles online, there were alot of numbers thrown around (much higher than 500grams).

No wonder this dumb fuck got busted, those are 10 year ago prices. The only ones that can get you that much of a discount are cops/undercovers especially up there in Chickcago! You have to add surcharges, theres alot of camino to get that much dope up to the windy city.

Good thing I erased that fools name off of my mini helmets I had him sign during one of the DC mini camps in S.A. right after he got traded, one I had Charles Haley sign and the other Randy White.

FROM PFT

The drug arrest of Bears receiver Sam Hurd is a story that could become a serious public relations problem for the NFL.

We told you how Hurd is accused of trying to buy more than $575,000 worth of cocaine and marijuana every week from an undercover agent. 670 The Score in Chicago has more troubling news for the league.

A law enforcement source told Laurence Holmes of 670 that Hurd was one of the top drug dealers in Chicago. Police obtained a list of NFL players who were supplied drugs Hurd and the number is “in the double digits.”


Considering Hurd already allegedly dealing drugs while in Dallas, this could create problems in at least two NFL cities. And it could create the impression, at a minimum, that the NFL’s drug testing is pretty easy to get around.

I wonder how much he was pushing here and how many loses I can blame on him now.
