Police Believe NBA’s Zach Randolph Is Indiana’s Drug Kingpin
DETECTIVE: Zach’s a “major marijuana supplier” and “financier for known drug dealers in Indianapolis.”
@ZBO50
I’ve always known Zach Randolph to be a moron. When he was a member of the Knicks I saw plenty of games and to my delight but the frustration of many Knicks Fans, Randolph would single handedly throw games away due to his selfish play and knucklehead decision making. And you don’t have to look further than his part in giving the Portland Trailblazers the “Jailblazers” nickname.
Well it appears his poor decisions aren’t just limited to the hardwood. Marion, Indiana authorities are investigating a local drug cartel of which they believe the Memphis Grizzlies forward is at its head. While charges have yet to be filed, one of Randolph’s acquaintances, 32 year-old Arthur Boyd was recently arrested on suspicion of marijuana possession while driving a 2008 Cadillac Escalade registered to Randolph which contained more than three ounces of weed stashed in an hidden compartment.
Police have since zeroed in on Randolph as the prize of their investigation. They’ve seized the Escalade and three of Randolph’s custom Chevrolet Impalas. One detective went as far as to call Randolph a “major marijuana supplier” and “financier for known drug dealers in Indianapolis.”
Given his resume, you’d have to be completely gulable to believe that Zack wasn’t capable of such ridiculousness. We’ve said it time and time again that if these millionaires have the burning urge to carry a gun, PLAXICO or be sexting random jumpoffs when you’re married TIGER or selling mad drugs even though you’re crazy rich why do these athletes have to have personal involvement. Hire one of your boys to act as the liaison, launder the conversation and make sure nothing tracks back to you. I guess its easier said then done. Of course the best practice is abstinence from any stupid behavior.
Sidenote: Zack Randolph draws a striking resemblance to Highbrid Outdoor’s (sister company of Highbrid Nation) Senior Vice President, Daniel Gutzmore. Minus all the shenanigans obviously. Just thought I’d throw that out there. lol.
FILED IN News, Rumors & Gossip, Sports
I reside in Indianapolis and am very aware of Zach Randolph being a bafoon. BUT , I am also aware of the IMPD (Indianapolis Metro Police Department) and their antics. In the last month/ (30 DAYS LITERALLY) as many as 4 police officers have resigned or been put on desk duty for the bs they pull. Now I understand the VEHICLES are in Zachs name but the detective tht has been in the papers about this or heading the investigation or whatever is seeking attention, a raise, face time or something. INdiana is one of the MOST RACIST states in the midwest if not the country. This is another example of the Man trying to bring a brotha down. NOw as cliche as that may sound you can come on over to INdy and find out for yourself. A cop was just arrested for a STRING OF ARSONS in an apartment complex. The SAME apartment complex!! Attempted murder? Another 4 police officers just beat the SHIT out of a 15 year old, smashed up the camera that caught it on tape, etc. etc. All in all..I don’t condone Zachs homies actions in anyway, but IMPD will bring down the big names linked to ANY goon for face time and to try and keep Blacks in that “dark” light. OUT
Go to Indystar.com ,check out the story ,and peep some of the comments of INdy’s finest.
Nice! Thanks for providing the local correspondent flare to the story. Obviously I was unaware of that. Levi keep me posted if you hear anything additional this story could have legs and I’d love to update it.
I would hope he isn’t that dumb, his best year on the hardwood, may be overshadowed by his ignorance off the court this year….
I don’t follow basketball, so I don’t know who this guy is, but I’m not buying the story.
.
First… if possession of 3 oz constitutes a ‘major drug trafficker’ in Indy, then they’re more hick than people might think; especially when you consider that here in Detroit it’s not unusual for them to bust people with hundreds of pounds at a time.
.
To me, this sounds like he was simply ‘stocking up’ to save multiple trips. Or more likely… he’s the richest guy in his circle of friends, so he’s just being a good host. One of those cases where someone ‘knows a guy’ and everyone chimes in with ‘grab some for me’.
.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m a fan of the cops. They get paid crappy wages to deal with all of the worst elements of society (people that normal joe’s like you and I don’t want to deal with)… but they all seem to have the habit of pumping up the most mundane busts into these giant stories.
.
A good local example (local for me at least), would be our State Attorney General. For example: He busted some state workers for faking their time clocks (they had friends punching them in for being late). Instead of just busting them, he filed 10 felony charges (one charge for each time punch in the 2 week period of time). I think there’s a point where wanting to do your job well turns into overkill.
When I read the 3 ounces I thought the same thing but I think they must have busted them for something else more substantial at some point. If not, I agree this is a witchhunt. Malcolm, don’t worry other than the playoffs you’re not missing much in the NBA. The regular season is irrelevant. You can catch what’s important on Sports Center.
I’m more a fan of Formula One racing and curling.
if true this would be the biggest dumb @ss move since michael vick and the dog rings!
you hope hes innocent because i dont understand how someone could make millions playing ball want to involved in criminal enterprises when they DONT have to be!
