By JON ERICSON, Courier Staff Writer
CEDAR FALLS — The University of Northern Iowa’s top two wide receivers were arrested this morning for possession of marijuana.

The Cedar Falls Police Department and Tri-County Drug Enforcement Task force served a search warrant at 515 W. 18th St., the home of Johnny Lee Gray, 22, and Victor Romell Williams, 23.

Police say a quantity of marijuana and items for using and selling marijuana were found.

sounds like Iowa University

One of the guys is Johnny Gray (WR). That guy is good. Arguably the best player on the team. It was possession of marijuana. Maybe he had a prescription. :smile:

big whoop...

Please remember Jeremy's "one paragraph for copyrighted material" rule...not hard to respect. Don't want CF to get into trouble.

Yeah, I can't imagine this stuff would be tolerated if they were losing, and this is why I can't pull for that program in the least. It's pretty dirty.

This sucks IMO. Ruining someone's lives over possessing some marijuana. Were they hurting anyone but themselves? Were they driving? No. No different than drinking in your home IMO.

Disclaimer: I don't smoke pot. Just think the law is hypocritical.

wowowowowow.

Whoa. When did they pass a law against drinking in your home?

That's what I'm saying. The law is stupid.

 

[Aclone]

That's what I'm saying. The law is stupid.

Or maybe it's not. But it's still a law, and laws have to be enforced, not ignored, just because some people don't like them.

And having once, a long time ago, in a world far, far away, perhaps, maybe, possibly experimented myself, I'd say that everything involved in smoking pot is hardly harmless, that's just a bill of goods that some people want to sell

But that's a discussion for another place and time. .

Who are the other two players suspended? I only see Jonny Gray and Victor Williams listed.

 

[Drive4cy]

When I saw the thread title I thought it was going to be serious, not weed.

Slap'em on the wrist and move on.

 

[Cardinal&Gold11]

Really not that big of deal.

 

[JonDMiller]

Really not that big of deal.

......

Tough break

 

[CloneLawman]

Really not that big of deal.

Two felonies for Gray...tax stamp charge requires at least 42.5
grams processed marijuana.

Gee, I wonder why 06Panther isn't involved in this thread with his purported objective, non-insulting questions?

 

[06Panther]

This is a big deal....Gray wasn't just busted smoking pot, he was busted selling it, and in some fairly large quantities.

Oh and I'm here now, Clonelawman:yes:

This is just upsetting that our two best wide receivers would do something to jeopardize their position on our team. UNI has (like almost every year) a reasonably good chance to make a run at the national title, and they have just thrown it away.

While, I'm positive that UNI has the depth to overcome this (we are loaded at WR), I'm more upset at the damage this will do to UNI's reputation. The last thing we need is to follow in Iowa's footsteps.

I completely agree with the decision though, these guys should be kicked off the team for good.

Don't you think they have been doing this or something similar since the day they got to campus, likely even before? I imagine they thought they were untouchable and well, got touched.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. You'd hope they would at least be more careful about it. Obviously they didn't keep it low key if a drug task force with a search warrant shows up at your house at 6:45AM.
