Zach Randolph implicated in drug ring

Memphis Grizzlies forward and NBA journeyman Zach Randolph has been implicated in an Indianapolis drug ring. Randolph, whose hometown is in nearby Marion has said through his lawyer that he has no knowledge whatsoever of the drugs that were found in his car that a friend was driving. Nevertheless, the police were actually looking at Randolph well before the car incident occurred.

According to a probable cause affidavit, a trusted police informant identified Memphis Grizzlies player Zach Randolph as a major marijuana supplier in Indianapolis, 6News’ Jack Rinehart reported.

Narcotics officers were staking out a suspected drug house on Indianapolis’ north side two weeks ago when they pulled over Arthur Boyd, 32, soon after he left the residence, near 75th Street and Binford Avenue, police said.

According to the affidavit, the Cadillac Escalade that Boyd was driving was registered to Randolph, and police found marijuana and ammunition stowed inside.

Whether or not Randolph is directly involved may not matter at this point as the evidence mounts again him. After the arrest of his friend, police found four storage units rented in his name that contained drugs. They also found secret compartments in his vehicles where drugs can be concealed. So even if Randolph is just a nice guy who lets his friends use his stuff, he should go to jail on plain stupidity.

Then again, he’s never exactly been a model citizen. His rap sheet is actually getting quite extensive…battery, selling a stolen gun, and drunk driving just to name a few. Whether or not he gets charged remains to be seen at this point, although, I certainly wouldn’t be putting any money down in Zach’s favor.
