Does Zach Randolph Finance Drug Dealers? May 28
Zach Randolph, forward for the Memphis Grizzlies, has been implicated in a case involving marijuana in Indiana. According to a report by The Associated Press, a friend of Randolph’s was caught driving the NBA star’s SUV with a cooler containing bags of marijuana.
Although the Indianapolis police has said that Randolph himself is not yet the target of an active investigation, it has been revealed that Randolph has been named as a “financier” to drug dealers, supplying them with marijuana, vehicles and a house in a probable cause affidavit filed in Marion County Superior Court. Investigators claim that the informant is “credible and reliable.”
Randolph’s friend, 32-year-old Arthur Boyd, was pulled over while driving Randolph’s 2008 Cadillac Escalade for a traffic violation. He was followed by officers from a home in Indianapolis which, according to informants, was being used as a distribution point for marijuana. The affidavit indicted that officers found the following in the SUV: 90 grams of marijuana divided into bags in a cooler placed behind the driver’s seat, an empty suitcase that smelled of marijuana, and ammunition in a hidden compartment.
Boyd and Randolph have been friends for years, as revealed by Randolph’s lawyer John Tompkins. Boyd runs errands for Randolph and takes care of his home in Indianapolis during the NBA season.
Boyd has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him and was released on $5,000 bond. Randolph, for his part, has denied being involved in the drug activity. His lawyer, Tompkins, dismissed the fact that police were following up on informants’ tips by saying that informants are “notorious liars.”

What freakin’ difference does it make? He’s a basketball player, and cannabis shouldn’t be illegal. How many NBA players invest in alcohol distribution companies without any comment whatever? It is time to can this absurd nonsense about cannabis. It has nothing to do with basketball, and there is no reason for continuing the idiotic laws against it.

Future history books will gasp at the horrors of Prohibition.
The root problem is Christians. Since they can no longer torture and burn people and no longer own slaves, they do their best to destroy other people’s lives by locking them up, taking their property and branding them a criminal for life.
Religion poisons everything.
