Plane Thrower Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 DENVER -- Former NFL running back and Super Bowl record-holder Timmy Smith was sentenced in federal court Friday to 2½ years in prison for conspiring to distribute cocaine. Smith, 42, apologized to the state of Colorado during a hearing before U.S. District Judge Lewis Bab****. "I have made a mistake and I wasn't raised this way," he said. Bab**** said the former football player had been respected at his job as a security guard at a juvenile detention center. "You were leading a Jekyl and Hyde lifestyle," he said. The former Washington Redskins running back was arrested last fall along with his younger brother, Christopher, after the pair sold about $20,000 worth of cocaine to undercover agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. Timmy Smith pleaded guilty in March to the conspiracy charge after federal prosecutors agreed to drop eight additional cocaine-trafficking counts in exchange for the guilty plea. Christopher Smith pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of aiding and abetting and was sentenced this month to five years of probation. In January 1988, Smith rushed for a Super Bowl-record 204 yards in the Redskins 42-10 rout of the Denver Broncos. He last played for the Dallas Cowboys in 1990.
