As if the Green Bay Packers weren’t having enough trouble dealing with the Brett Favre situation they’ve now got another problem to deal with: defensive tackle Johnny Jolly was arrested in Houston on July 8 with 200 grams of codeine, according to multiple media reports.
Officers patrolling a nightclub known for narcotics and weapons violations apparently heard loud music coming from his vehicle in the early morning hours. There were four people in the vehicle in which the cops also found a semi-automatic pistol and marijuana. Jolly could face 20 years in prison and/or a hefty fine if convicted of the possession charge. The charges could change, as well, if a grand jury decides he intended to distribute the codeine.
The Packers traded Corey Williams in the offseason and certainly were counting on a contribution from the young, up-and-coming player. And they certainly didn’t need a headache. Just guessing here, but I doubt he does 20 years. Still he’s definitely put a kink in his opportunity to make an impact this season and possibly beyond.
