Patrick Chung’s got that speed, and I ain’t talking about the 4.49 40-yard dash. I’m talking about that Grade A, top quality booger sugar. That sweet, sugary nose candy.
Allegedly.
The Patriots veteran safety and three-time Super Bowl champion has been indicted by a grand jury in New Hampshire on a cocaine possession charge–a felony.
According to NFL.com, the incident occurred on June 25 in Meredith, New Hampshire where Chung has a home.
Jim Murray of 98.5 The Sports Hub in Boston tweeted that, according to a source, “Patrick Chung’s home in Meredith had an alarm tripped for a B&E. Police show up to check on the home, have probable cause to enter the home, and ultimately end up finding cocaine, leading to the investigation and indictment.”
Talk about the shit end of the stick for Chung. Police go to your house to arrest someone and wind up arresting you. Life comes at you fast.

The Patriots issued a short statement on-brand with the Patriot Way:
“We are aware of the reports regarding Patrick Chung. We will not be commenting while his judicial proceedings take place,” the team said.
The league issued the statement you’ve heard time and time again:
“We will monitor developments in the law enforcement matter.”
Cocaine possession is a Class B felony and carries a possible prison term of 3.5 to 7 years. Jesus really? Doesn’t seem like that bigga deal, does it Mr. Foerster?

To my knowledge, the 32-year-old doesn’t have any other notable run-ins with the law, so the law shouldn’t hit him too hard.
As for the NFL, it could be either a one quarter suspension or death penalty. Your guess is as good as mine with those clowns.
