The lawyer for Patrick Chung entered a not guilty plea on his client’s behalf, according to The Associated Press. Chung was indicted for felony cocaine possession on August 8 and details on the case remain sparse.
Here’s what we do know – New Hampshire cops were called to Chung’s home in late June on “on a call for service.” While at his residence, police obtained evidence leading to the felony drug charge.
Chung, 32, is scheduled to appear in court on November 8. No NFL discipline will come for a while – if at all – but head coach Bill Belichick has remained characteristically quiet about the safety’s status.
In 2018, the longtime Patriots safety played in 15 games and started 14, registering one interception and 84 tackles. Still operating at a high level, he rated as the No. 30 safety according to Pro Football Focus, with an above-average grade of 72.7.
If proven true, he is a moron.
He’ll blame CTE if proven true.
Don’t worry, Kraft will get his attorneys on it and show it was all a setup.
Everyone will have a happy ending like Kraft did!
Didn’t a similar thing happen to Hanley Ramirez in Boston last year? He was found not guilty if I’m not mistaken.
Hanley wasn’t charged with anything. His homeboy was pinched and when at the station started singing saying he could give up bigger names. He FaceTimed Ramirez from the station, but they never brought charges against him.
Hard to be charged possession when you can’t prove who’s it is and how it got there.
None of that matters if they really did find it on his person or in/on something he owns. “It’s not mine and I don’t know how it got there” simply doesn’t work.
This is not to imply an opinion on his guilt or innocence.
