Bill Swerski Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. (AP) -- Todd Marinovich, the former Los Angeles Raiders quarterback whose career ended in a mire of drug abuse, is facing a possible prison term after a weekend arrest in Orange County. Marinovich, 38, remained jailed Wednesday on no-bail warrants for probation violation pending a Sept. 6 pretrial hearing. Police said he was skateboarding in a prohibited area near the Newport Pier boardwalk shortly before 1:30 a.m. Sunday and ran away when officers tried to stop him. He was found hiding in a carport about six blocks away. Marinovich had a guitar case, and inside officers found about a gram of powdered methamphetamine, a metal spoon and a hypodermic needle, Sgt. Evan Sailor said... Who in the hell draws attention to themselves by skating in a prohibited area when they have a freaking gram of meth on them?

Brentastic Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 How do you go from a professional athelete to being homeless with all your belongings (meth) being housed in a guitar case? Very, very sad. Wonder what happened to the guitar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vet Posted August 31, 2007 Share Posted August 31, 2007 Meth is some scary, scary stuff. It is one of the most addictive substances ever created (so far). I would not wish a methamphetamine addiction on my worst enemy. It is some scary, scary stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
