Goingforburgundy Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Packers DT Johnny Jolly missed all of last year, because the NFL suspended him for the season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. More importantly, he didn’t have to face up to 20 years in prison on a drug possession charge because he pleaded guilty and entered a diversion program. Last month, Jolly filled out reinstatement paperwork with the league so he could attempt to resume his career, and it sounded like the Packers would welcome him back as long as he remained drug-free.Looks like he hit a roadbump this morning when, according to CBS Houston, he was arrested for drug possession again. According to the report, Houston police stopped his Cadillac Escalade for a traffic violation at 12:45 a.m. After he presented them with a state ID card instead of a driver’s license, officers learned his license had been suspended. Then, they searched his car and allegedly found 600 grams of Codeine and another unidentified substance. Possession of Codeine is a felony, and if police found enough drugs, he could be charged with intent to distribute. Forget his career, for a second. It sounds like Jolly could well be on his way to doing some real time in prison.

PokerPacker Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Jolly, you are an idiot. Its a damn shame, because he's a good young football player and I would have loved to have him back, especially with Cullen Jenkins' likely departure. Now we're going to have to rely on Mike Neal,, Justin "out-for-yet-another-season" Harrell, and whoever we pick up in the draft to take over on the D-line. I mean, seriously. Who gets busted with drugs in his car for playing loud music, gets off with merely a year of "don't do anything bad", and gets caught with the same goddamn drug in his car because he was pulled over for doing something stupid and then getting his car searched again because the dumbass is driving on a suspended license?

Mr. Jones Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm somewhat amused that Jolly and Jason Peter's arrests have gotten less media attention than Dez Bryant swearing at an off-duty cop. There really is an absurd level of focus on every negative story out of Dallas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilverMaC Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I'm somewhat amused that Jolly and Jason Peter's arrests have gotten less media attention than Dez Bryant swearing at an off-duty cop.There really is an absurd level of focus on every negative story out of Dallas Well, lets be honest here. It's not an unearned amount of focus on dallas no matter how hard you shut your eyes and plug your ears. Dallas, like the raiders, have earned the focus they get regarding player run-ins with the law. Not to mention a high-profile rookie like Bryant who had character questions coming in to the league is going to draw immediate attention no matter what team he was on. As to the topic, it's a shame that Jolly's addiction is going to possibly land him in prison. Going to prison sucks as is, but to go to prison where you have years to sit there and think of the chance you had and the chance you blew is torture. Hopefully one way or the other he is able to get things turned around in his personal life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goingforburgundy Posted March 28, 2011 Author Share Posted March 28, 2011 How soon before Dallas tries to sign him? They wont sign some one that is in jail for multiple years (if he did have enough for Intent to Distribute). No one even the Pukes will do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokerPacker Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 update: Jolly pleads guilty to the first charge (that one that he had to just be clean for a year to get cleared) and the new charge was dropped. He's now on 5 years of probation. Hopefully he doesn't find a way to **** it up again. http://www.jsonline.com/sports/packers/120426489.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
