    Newton, two others charged with intent to sell


    Associated Press


    ST. MARTINVILLE, La. -- Former Dallas Cowboys star Nate Newton was arrested when police confiscated 213 pounds of mar1juana from a van on a highway.

    Newton and two others were charged Sunday with possession with intent to distribute mar1juana, Trooper Willie Williams said Tuesday. A fourth person, arrested in a separate vehicle with $18,000, was charged with conspiracy to possess narcotics.

    All four were in the St. Martin Parish Jail on Tuesday with bail set at $200,000 each.
    Newton is a six-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman who helped Dallas win three Super Bowls. He spent 14 seasons in the NFL, 13 with Dallas. He retired last year after a season with Carolina.

    Williams said a state police patrol pulled over a van for a traffic violation on Sunday about 6 a.m. east of Lafayette.

    "The driver seemed nervous and gave consent to search the van," Williams said. He did not say who was driving.

    Cardboard boxes filled with 213 pounds of mar1juana were in the van, Williams said.
    Newton, who lives in East Ellijay, Ga., was arrested along with Faye Cleveland, 46, and Marva Johnson Waye, 49, both of Jacksonville, Fla. All three were charged with possession with intent to distribute mar1juana.

    The driver of a pickup truck, Ricky Glenn Williams, 46, of Quinlan, Texas, was charged with conspiracy to possess narcotics, police said. The $18,000 that was in the truck with him was seized, the trooper said.

    Reminds me of an old joke...

    Why does Texas Stadium have artificial turf?
    Because the Cowboys don't play that well while on grass...

    i'd of liked to have seen nate try the glaucoma defense.

    "but, but officer you see i have glaucoma"

    "213 lbs worth!"

    "uh, uh it's in both eyes"










    if mar1juana isn't used for glaucoma then pretend i didn't write that

    What a waste....of product.

    Why Nate would want to do that kind of stuff after a successful football career.....is he totally stupid or what? I guess so.

    I don't think they were going to sell it. They had other ideas they got from Cheech and Chong :cool: .

    How hard is it to drive and not incur a traffic violation...especially in that situation? I wonder what it was. If I'm hauling that stuff around, then I'm driving right on the speed limit and I don't do anything to in violation of the traffic rules and regulations....occifer.

    I wonder if it had anything to do with racial profiling?

    Hey, Nate is a pretty big guy. A good lawyer should get the charge to a misdemeanor, claim it was his personal stash, the only distribution that was going to go on was inside big ole Nate’s blooodstream :D

    Surfguy, maybe it was Dallas Cowboy profiling. Long live the crackwagon, Go Cowboys!!

    HOOP-T, to answer your question. Where i live, good MJ sells for 300 dollars an ounce. Of course it gets cheaper when buying pounds, but one pound would sell for at lease 3500-4000 dollars. There are 16 ounces in a pound 16x213=3408 ounces. Which is about 340,000 dollars worth.

    But it should be legal anyways. So i see Mr. Newton as a Martyr.
