Corie Blount

Forward/centre
 
29th August 1996: Arrested on a $10000 traffic warrant during a traffic stop in West Hollywood. No idea why.
 
Christmas Eve 1999: Stopped by traffic police for having tinted windows. Car was seized because of the windows and having no front plate. Police also seized $19,435 in cash from Blount and handed it over to the DEA, after a K-9 unit smelled drug residue on it. Blount said it came from a car sale. Blount was not arrested nor charged with anything, and had to sue to get his money back. Strange times.
 
4th December 2008: Arrested and charged with felony drug possesion and drug trafficking. Blount had had 11 pounds of marijuana sent to him by post, and after he went to collect it, police tailed him home and arrested him. While there, they found and conviscated two more parcels of marijuana (totalling 29 pounds in all), along with $29,500 in cash (lots of cash again?), three guns and three cars. Pled guilty to the possession in exchange for the trafficking charges being dropped - two cars and the cash were permanently conviscated, as they were considered to have been acquired through illegal means. Blount's attorney claimed in his guilty plea that Blount only acquired the pot because he was depressed, and that he had no intention of selling it, which doesn't seem to follow with their agreement to have the cash and cars conviscated. But whatever. Eventually sentenced to a year in jail, five years probation and 250 hours community service, after the judge refused to believe that all that pot was for personal use. There's a video of the sentencing here.
