Chicago Bears wide receiver Sam Hurd was arrested in Chicago last night for trying to buy cocaine and marijuana from a federal officer.
And Hurd was trying to buy a lot.
According to Dallas Morning News, Hurd was looking for 10 kilograms of cocaine, and a half a ton of marijuana "for distribution in the Chicago area."
According to the complaint file:
...his co-conspirator is in charge of doing the majority of the deals as HURD focuses on the "higher-end" deals. HURD subsequently inquired if the UCA (undercover operative) and the CI (confidential informant involved in the case) could provide him with Mexican cellular telephones, as HURD believed that law enforcement did not have the capability of "listening" to Mexican telephones.
UPDATE: Here's a statement from the Bears (via The Chicago Tribune):
"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."
