fuji869 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 Super Bowl hero pleads guilty to cocaine charge DENVER (AP) - Former Washington Redskins running back Timmy Smith, who set a Super Bowl rushing record in 1988, pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of conspiring to distribute cocaine. In exchange for his plea, prosecutors are expected to drop eight counts of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute, the Rocky Mountain News reported Thursday, citing court documents. Sentencing is scheduled for May 26. Smith, 41, and his brother, Chris, were arrested Sept. 30 and charged with possession of 500 grams or more of cocaine with intent to distribute. Police said he sold an undercover officer about 20 ounces of cocaine for $13,600. Timmy Smith set a Super Bowl rushing record with 204 yards. Smith had worked as a detention officer at the Gilliam Youth Services Center, but he resigned on Oct. 26. Smith is married and has five children.

wysknz1 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I read where he had one of his kids with him when the deal went down. That's really bad.Agreed, ironic it happened in Denver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuji869 Posted March 11, 2006 Author Share Posted March 11, 2006 He has lived in Denver for a while. I meet him briefly in a bar back in 1997, the conversation did not even last a minuite. Just shook hands with him and told him I was a Redskin Fan. But yes it is funny that it happened in Denver. That would be like Marcus Allen getting in trouble in D.C.

HailSkinz1 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 He still holds the superbowl record for rushing yards doesnt he? Yes he does. I can still see him "cabbage patching" in the endzone. One of the All Time "Flash in the Pans." Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extreme Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 I can't believe, what a wasted talent. The only time you ever hear him mentioned is for the SB game, rightfully so. I think this officially earns him a spot as an honorary Dallas Cowboy, right? Traitor.:laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
