‘Molly’ Bagged At Poole Party

MISSOULA, Mont. (AP) – Montana Grizzlies offensive tackle Trevor Poole was arrested on a felony drug charge during the weekend after a drug task force officer reported seeing him exchange cash for a plastic baggie at a large Halloween party.

Court record say when officers approached Poole, he told them he had two “molly” pills in his pocket that he had purchased that night. “Molly” is the street name for a form of the drug ecstasy.

Poole made an initial appearance in court Monday on a charge of criminal possession of dangerous drugs and was released on his own recognizance.

School officials say the 20-year-old sophomore from Spokane, Wash., has been suspended indefinitely. The university’s student-athlete code of conduct calls for the dismissal for athletes who are convicted of a felony.

Look But Don’t Touch

BOSTON (AP) – New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman’s agent says his client will “vigorously” fight a charge that he groped a woman during a Halloween party at a Boston nightclub.

At a brief court hearing Tuesday, a not guilty plea to a charge of indecent assault and battery was entered for Edelman. The Patriots later released a statement from agent Don Yee, who said the charge “will be fought vigorously within the court system, instead of a rush to judgment elsewhere.”

Edelman, 25, and his lawyer left court without speaking to reporters.

According to an application for the criminal complaint, police were called about 1:30 a.m. to the club, where a woman said Edelman had reached under her costume and grabbed her crotch. Edelman denied groping the woman but was arrested.
