Wide Receiver Catches Weed Misdemeanor
April 30th, 2009 by Russ
Pittsburgh Steelers’ star receiver, Santonio Holmes, was arraigned Tuesday for possessing three blunts that he offered as evidence to officers during a traffic stop last October.
Apparently, the Pittsburgh police officers were looking for ‘real criminals’ when they came upon Holmes’ car. Unfortunately, the NFL star matched police’s description of a suspicious-looking “large black man driving a fancy car.” In the surprise of the century, Holmes’ lawyer is challenging the constitutionality of the traffic stop.
Holmes, who was last year’s Superbowl MVP, said that he “learned a lot” from his one game suspension following the weed arrest. One thing he’s sure to have learned is that ‘driving while black’ is still a crime in some parts of the country.
