It is sad to here about this happening. Better off he get help now, than later.
I know it's nothing to joke about, let's just hope Dennis Rodman isn't having any kids anytime soon.

Tampa is a tough town.

Tampa is very tough on legalities involving drinking and driving, drugs, etc. Not that any other big city isn't.

The kid has to get money from somewhere since his dad blew his fortune on drugs! I suppose he seen how much money his dad has put towards drugs in the past and figured "Hey, look at how much my dad spends(t) on drugs, that must be the way to make easy money".

Unreal the kid has to be out doing that, Gooden Sr probably pissed all the money away. Don't know if everyone realizes just how dominant Gooden was when he came in the league. Man he had nasty stuff.

Now his son is out dealing crack cocaine to cops....
