[Eric15]

"Tallahassee police conducted surveillance on Florida State quarterback Deondre Francois for two months, operating on a tip that he was selling marijuana, but a raid of the player's apartment on Thursday yielded less than an ounce of marijuana, the Orlando Sentinel reported."

Two months of police surveillance to bust some pot dealing seems like an efficient use of taxpayer funds.

But if they didn't they would be accussed of preferential treatment.

The real issue is whether the NCAA can complete their investigation before he is ready to collect Social Security. It's not like FSU has self reported this they have that giant hurdle to cross before they can get to the meat of the investigation.

Nah. How many FSU students are surveiled for 2 months over weed? Complete waste of time and money.

You know what would help stop players selling drugs? Paying them money for the work they do for the University.

That the police in Tallahassee aren’t in on it is kind of a miracle. Francois must have ticked off the wrong booster

Or just legalize it

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Colassal waste of time, who cares? kid had pot in his apartment, I am shocked. BFD 2month surveillance to issue a misdemeanor. Just so ridiculous

 

[RandomGuy]

This could carry over into the fall.

But seriously... Is there still a 1 year ban on first drug offense?

Opiates are worse than marijuana. enough of this nonsense with weed.

Looks like he may not be allowed to take the trip to the dome...,( 1/2 year suspension?)

Said it was his girlfriend's, but admitted to smoking in December.

 

[shandeezy7]

There are two likely scenarios here:

1.) They didn't find anything because it was an incompetent investigation that wasted taxpayer dollars and two months worth of police work.
2.) They didn't find anything because he got tipped off ahead of time and relocated his stash before the raid.

I'm not sure which scenario is more likely, but I also wouldn't go off just assuming that it was a waste of time by the police if they had some real evidence that there was a drug-dealing operation going on. However, if their only evidence was that this dude and his friends liked to smoke weed occasionally, then yeah, waste of time and money.

What about just being a good person. I didn't make squat in college. I certainly wasn't given the free food the football players get, or the free education. Selling weed never crossed my mind.

Drug abuse is worse, I think, in wealthier areas because kids can afford it.

Or 3) they found more but reported a smaller amount.

Agreed. Luckily the police weren't surveying that closet on the second floor room of the house I lived in for two years at Syracuse.

I didn’t get paid to go to school and I never sold weed. Really?
