CANYON, Texas -- Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted by a Randall County grand jury on drug and burglary charges.

The indictment was handed up Wednesday in Canyon. It charged the 33-year-old former San Diego Chargers quarterback and former West Texas A&M football and golf coach with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and delivery of a simulated controlled substance.
Canyon police Lt. Dale Davis said Leaf is suspected of breaking into a Canyon apartment on Oct. 30 and stealing the painkiller Hydrocodone, which had been prescribed to an injured football player.
James Farren, Randall County criminal district attorney, said Leaf has been undergoing drug rehabilitation in British Columbia, the Amarillo Globe-News reported. Farren told the newspaper that efforts were under way to try to convince Leaf to return to the United States on his own.
It was not clear whether Leaf had an attorney.
If convicted, the burglary charge carries a sentence of two to 20 years. The other counts could carry up to a two-year sentence in a state jail each, according to court records.
The Chargers chose Leaf out of Washington State with the second overall pick in the 1998 NFL Draft. He played in the NFL from 1998 to 2001.

With all his money, why wouldn't he just buy it? Breaking into an apartment? This is the silliest story I've heard in a long time.

How could he possibly be broke?

How could he possibly be broke?

drugs...

boozin'...

partying...

then repeat all three...

leaf had no life except for those three things...

thats why he had to take the job as qb coach for west texas a&m...he worked for that small school for 3 years...because his millions were long gone...he needed cash to finance his drug/booze problems...

then leaf resigned at west texas...

after getting caught...trying to solicit drugs from a student athlete.

Well, after he retired, I remember him saying that he didn't touch one cent of his signing bonus. So when did he pick up the drug habit, and how can any drug habit possibly go through as much as he had? I think his signing bonus was around 12 mil, and we had a huge bull market until 2008.

Sounds like a suicide will be coming soon.

He's married to a Charger cheerleader and managed his money very well from what I've heard. Not a bad life for a bust.

 

[nhoj]

those are crimes done by a man no way Ryan Leaf could of done it.

Hydrocodone (Vicoden) Is Very Inexpensive

And IMHO not that effective. Been on it for over 4 yrs for extreme back & leg problems. Keeps the pain level from a 10 count down to tolerable. But as far as ANY sort of "buzz", don't see it. I do realize that each person has a different response to different drugs. But for me it just barely does the job. And I take 3000 mg a day.hno:

 

[SayHeyKid]

As Illini pointed out, I remember him claiming to still have his entire signing bonus when he retired. That must of been a lie. Ryan Leaf is a complete mess.
