Mikel Leshoure busted with Pot

[dtrrman]

Bring back aaron brown.

This team has got to get something resembling a running game this season. Going into the season with a back one head shot away from retirement, a Charles Rogers Caliber pothead with jail bars in his future, and the last one with more miles on his body than a space shuttle isn't going to end well. Their draft board just changed unless they can get something decent in FA. No more waiver wire wonders and basket cases. You can't have Stafford being the running back with his arm again. Other than Steve Owens, Sims, Sanders they have not hit RB targets very well. Now its a primary need AGAIN!

Wonder what it would take to get him. I wouldn't give up to high of a pick for him being he's already been in the league for a lil bit and has had a lot of injuries but I would be curious what they would want. Doesn't he also have a pretty big contract being on his rookie deal as well?

Stewart is in the last year of his contract but I think the salary is pretty manageable iirc. That being said, he's gunna want much more next season after his deal is up. Doubt the lions can afford it

I just thought of a nickname for our three running backs (Smith, Best, Leshoure)

Larry, Moe, and Curly

Best is Curly
Mikel is Moe
Smith is Larry.

With the way RBs are getting paid they probably could. But I wouldn't want to give up much in a trade for him in terms of draft picks.

There was a rumor that the NY Giants were talking a trade for Jonathan Stewart. They lost Brandon Jacobs to SF, and the Carolina Panthers signed Mike Tolbert.

The rumor I heard was that NY was talking a 3rd and 4th for Stewart (they were awarded an extra 4th, so that isn't really anything for the Giants).

WTF is going on?

Detroit Lions running back Mikel Leshoure told the Lions that he missed a court hearing Monday afternoon in Berrien County because the hearing was rescheduled for Wednesday.

Not true, according to Berrien County court officials.

Leshoure, 22, was scheduled to appear in Berrien County District Court at 2 p.m. Monday to be arraigned on a charge of possession of marijuana, second offense. He didn't show up.

"I knew he wasn't there because late Monday afternoon, I got a call from a guy from the security guy from the Lions who had Leshoure in his office," said Gary Ruhl, chief of the Baroda-Lake Township Police Department, which issued Leshoure the appearance ticket. "He called me because he was trying to connect with the court.

Leshoure "told the security directer that he had gotten the arraignment adjourned until Wednesday," Ruhl said. "I told him that didn't appear to be the case."

Berrien County court officials confirmed this morning that Leshoure did not appear in court Monday afternoon and his appearance has not been rescheduled. A court official said Tuesday morning the last activity in Leshoure's file occurred on March 21.

Berrien County Prosecutor Arthur Cotter said Monday that a bench warrant for Leshoure's is likely to be issued on Thursday if Leshoure doesn't clear up the matter before then.

Leshoure was charged March 12 when he was riding in a car that failed to make a left-hand signal. The car got pulled over by a Baroda-Lake officer, who later reported that the car's interior smelled strongly of marijuana and Leshoure was cramming marijuana into his mouth.

"My officer said, 'Hey dude, if you eat that stuff, it's going to make you sick,' " Ruhl said. "And Leshoure said, 'I thought when the police stopped you, that's what you're suppose to do.' ... He's been watching too many cop shows."

In was Leshoure's second arrest for marijuana possession in Berrien County in less than a month. He also was arrested in Benton Township on Feb. 18.

"It's just pure stupid" considering that police officers aren't actively looking for marijuana arrests, Ruhl said. "If you're going to (smoke marijuana), do it in your house.

"He's a good running back," Ruhl said about Leshoure, but "he's not good about staying out of trouble in Berrien County."
