HAMILTON, Ohio -- Former NBA player and University of Cincinnati star Corie Blount was sentenced to one year in prison on Wednesday in a plea arrangement resulting from drug charges.

"Cheech and Chong would have had a hard time smoking that much.
” -- Judge Craig Hedric, during Corie Blount's sentencing

Blount, 40, had pleaded guilty in Butler County Common Pleas Court last month to two felony counts of marijuana possession after prosecutors dropped two trafficking charges.
Blount was arrested Dec. 4 after sheriff's deputies intercepted 11 pounds of marijuana sent to him at a relative's house. Investigators said they found another 18 pounds in a subsequent search of his home.
Although Judge Craig Hedric did not sentence Blount to the maximum 10 years in prison, he rejected Blount's claim that the marijuana was intended for personal use and to share with friends.
"Cheech and Chong would have had a hard time smoking that much," Hedric told Blount.
Hedric fined Blount $10,000 and ordered him to surrender two vehicles and $34,000 in cash seized in the bust.
Blount was a first-round draft pick by the Chicago Bulls in 1993. In an 11-year NBA career, he also played for the Los Angeles Lakers, Cleveland Cavaliers, Phoenix Suns, Philadelphia 76ers and Toronto Raptors.


YOUR THOUGHTS?

I could give a fuck......

with those mass amounts he probably deserved a ltitle bit of that.

though in general it shouldn't be a crime.

Yeah I was just suprised. I mean he was a first rounder and played in the league for 11 years. I'm sure he has reasons and could get his medical card. Seems like he was doin' some dumb stuff, but a year in prison? I couldn't see a pro athlete slangin' weed to make money, but obviously he was or him and his friends smoke a shit ton haha. He said it was for him and his friends... He must be popular. I hope he gets released early. Even selling marijuana in my eyes isn't something they should lock you up for. Just my opinion.

Lol someone gave me negative rep for my comment on here and was too ashamed to leave a name?

Thanks to whoever that was =-)
