Former Jaguars linebacker Telvin Smith shocked the football world when he abruptly took a break from the NFL prior to the 2019 season, forfeiting his $9m salary. He is back in the news today after reports emerged that his house was flooded with police.
According to Vic Micolucci of WJXT4, multiple neighbors saw police arresting the 28 year old before towing his Black Cadillac Escalade. The police did not address the media tonight, but there has been speculation that a post on the official twitter account of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Department describing the raid of a marijuana growing operation is referring to Smith’s home.
Without much confirmed and nothing officially announced, the situation remains a developing story and will be updated as updates emerge.
So he left the NFL to become a drug dealer, sounds smart
Better job security
White girls 30 miles away got dispensaries making $350k/yr but yeah send the whole precinct of dumb white supremacists to a black man’s house
Wow.
Scumbag
Do you have evidence?? Are you buying from these “white girls”??…. Growing Marijuana is illegal in Florida. Mr. Smith knew that.
Hey it’s Florida, the proud racist state that keeps blacks from voting…..
Gov. Abrams is from Georgia, dimwit.
Great strawman
The evil nebulous “white girls”
Maybe he should’ve had a dispensary then. Took you 3 comments to play the card. When there was no card needed. If they break the law, they should be arrested too! But they still didn’t quit playing NFL football making $9m a year to do it! Get out of here with that crap!
I’m sure he was in the process of getting his medical dispensing license!
Hahahahahaha
Sorry guys, Peter is spot on….
Kevin and Peter live sad lives when someone in a grow house is someone they think shouldn’t be arrested …
no, that’s not true. people of all races get busted for this. this was only big news due to a former NFL player being involved.
Peterrock141979,
Lol! Another racist comment from a non racist situation! Get an education and then come back here to comment
and that makes it legal…why?
Peterock, YOUR racism is showing…
Peterock, must it always have to be the race card?
Why is this jackazz not banned ?
Even you libelous claim shows how stupid this guy is. He left a job making $9 million a year for one that could make $350k a year if the cops don’t catch him. Pretty stupid even by a liberal’s standard.
Always gotta bring politics huh Vin, stupid comment yet again
That’s what the article said I guess if that’s what you read
Why do the girls have to be white?
Because he’s a race baiting turd
Ugh cannabis related arrests are always really sad to see. What a joke.
Was this operation going to make more than 9m per year? If not then how high was he to quit football and become a horticulturist?
This would be a great story if the Florida cops got their hot tip from Robert Kraft.
How did this become a race thing? You sell drugs illegally you go to jail. Black or White
amen
His career has gone up in smoke.
Cannabis is a plant. Half the country has legalized it and it’s available for medical use in Florida. He wasn’t arrested for distributing. He allegedly was arrested for cultivating, which means a guy who has spent his whole life getting hit by grown ass men wanted some pain relief that doesn’t involve opioids.
Also, if you don’t believe that African-Americans are arrested at a higher rate than Caucasians, you need to learn how to read. Multiple statistics show that it’s an epidemic.
Talin, statistics prove the reason why. Why don’t you complain about all the murders in predominantly democrat inner cities? Oh wait, it doesn’t fit your agenda. You break the law, black, white spanish or asian. YOU SHOULD BE ARRESTED.
Cocaine comes from a plant too.
He couldn’t do both and chose Pot.
Ricky Williams would be proud….
Wow a lot of very sensitive, reasonable replies here. What a toxic dump this place is.
Prolly see him on LIVE PD. Escorting him to the police car all the while screaming ” It ain’t my weed” , as they pull 500 lbs of it out of HIS house. With a doobie tucked behind his ear!
Turned down 9 million to play a game , to grow weed…..
Takes all kinds to make the world we live in.
Everyone have a peaceful Thanksgiving!!!! Hope your loved ones are safe and wish you all ease of mind!
Best post on this article. Happy Thanksgiving all.
Legalize it already ffs
Thats cool that this is free. Nothing like some good verbal online e-spatting on thanksgiving day.
Gotta love it. Happy thanksgiving!!
Don’t need to see a pic, Smith is a freaking idiot!
