PrintDetroit Lions offensive tackle Johnny Culbreath was arrested on Monday, according to The Times and Democrat. Culbreath's arrest stemmed from a charge of simple possession of marijuana after officers were called to a hotel where he was staying in Orangeburg, South Carolina. Here are the details of the arrest, as summarized by Pro Football Talk:
According to the report, Culbreath was staying at the Country Inn and Suites, where a hotel clerk called the police to report that a guest was using marijuana. Surveillance videos had shown Culbreath putting something in a hallway drawer, and when the police asked him what he put in there, he answered, "two blunts." Police then found what they described as "a small plastic bag with plant material" in the table.
Culbreath, who declined to comment about the arrest when contacted on Tuesday, paid a fine of $412 on Monday following the arrest. According to the report, the paying of the fine closed the case.
Culbreath was selected in the seventh round of last year's NFL Draft but didn't appear in a single game for the Lions in 2011. He was placed on injured reserve prior to the start of the season with a medical condition that was never disclosed.

Cameras IN the room and a rat behind the desk?

maybe I'm misreading it, but where does it say the camera was in the room?
it says the camera saw him put something in a “hallway drawer”. I read that to mean that he was in the hallway of the hotel, not the actual room. As far as I know it is illegal to have one inside the room, but not the hallways or common areas of a hotel.
The person reporting it was probably just getting the smell. He should have just done it in the bathroom with the exhaust fan running and the door closed.
"If guns cause crime then all of mine are defective."
Ive seen ice dispensers, pop machines and snack machines in hotel hallways, but not 'drawers'
I took it to mean the hallway of his suite, which often have writing desks and such. Which would require surveillance of his room. If dude shmoked out and then stashed his shit outside of his room out in the hall, well hell, dude deserved to get popped.
If not….thats pretty sketchy to me. I’ll not be staying in a CI N Suites anytime soon

i've looked online and don't see how it woud be legal to have a camera in the room
seems to violate the law

I just got back from a trip where I stayed at a CI&S
some have little tables in the elevator foyer that could have drawers in them. Why Culbreath was smoking blunts in the common areas is beyond me.
Maybe his medical condition
Required Medical Marijuana

People don't
stash their medicine when they see the cops coming and then refer to it as a street name like blunts.

7th rounder that got hurt and didn’t play. Fat Boy
About an hour from my house
and damn. I know pot is common but a little common sense can go a long way. I will say that hotels in this area NEED cameras in the rooms bc Orangeburg is the ghetto.
Isn't that where Culbreath went to college?
Funny that you’d call a college town a ghetto.
No slogans. Just win!!!
Do these guys get a physical before they are drafted?

coming from here in a western suburb of Toronto, there are more important criminals out there than worrying about pot.

Yeah, but the law is the law. Perhaps he was celebrating Newt's primary victory?
Damn Johnny, you have to use better judgement than that. I hope the Lions do not over react and cut this kid loose. A lot of college and pro football players make much worse mistakes than this and get chance after chance after chance.
I was surprised that he was only fined. Does that mean this is only a misdemeanor and not a felony? Hey! Why don’t I GOOGLE it?
http://www.hg.org/article.asp?id=19640
Yes, only a misdemeanor. I was half expecting that he would be thrown into the pen for half his life for possession down there.
"I’m sorry for all the people who want us to run the ball 40 times a game, but we’re going to put the ball in No. 9’s hands and he’s going to make plays for us like he did today," Lions coach Jim Schwartz said. Amen to that Jim!
Funny thing
It’s a misdemeanor not to carry your Driver’s License in Michigan, and it’s a misdemeanor to posses in South Carolina…wtf

Not when you target half of the US population to incarcerate Ypsilanti Jeff
I’m guessing that having 50% of the people locked up would be worse for the economy. We’ve already poured TRILLIONS of dollars into the war on drugs. Has the war on drugs worked in one sense whatsoever? No. Hasn’t made people quit, hasn’t stopped new use, hasn’t proven to be effective at targeting the right criminals in the least, basically just a waste of time.

Yes they should, because its illegal.

Politics aside
It’s not the best decision to smoke (especially in an ‘unsafe’ place).
But I don’t see the need for any team discipline. If he’s good, keep him.

That puts little emphasis on education. Teachers can only do so much. By the way, I want to work as a teach in the inner city. It’s just a sad reality.

Though their definitely are lazy teachers (I notice that even as I sub right now).
And thanks…I never wanted to teach…but God kinda pushed me into it…and I love it now. Haha.
its not(sometimes), his case is over, after he paid the fine.
if thats not the definition of decriminalization, i dont know what is.

The league can punish people who've never been proven guilty of a crime if they want
So yes. But prolly won’t.
Way to
rehab and prep for the next season Johnny. In the film room? Nope. In the weight room? Nope. Working with a private position coach? Nope. Smokin blunts in the “hot tube.” I had high hopes for this guy. I’d cut him and file a suit to get some of his salary back if it was my team.
It's the fucking offseason
Get over it dude.
I hear this shit about about players getting caught with drugs during the season and everyone says the same thing, should at least wait til the offseason. Now it’s the offseason and people still gotta bitch about something that doesn’t concern them at all.
He's being payed
to take care of and upgrade his body, not pump chemicals into it. Failure to even attempt ones job results in termination. And one has to have a season, in order to have an offseason. He did not.

Smoking marijuana is hardly "pumping chemicals into your body"
THC is naturally occurring, it’s about as dangerous as glucose.

glucose is extremely dangerous in the wrong amounts and accounts for more deaths per year than pot by a long stretch.

Maybe you guys are correct
Maybe our high paid athletes should be allowed to smoke pot. It’s just a plant that comes from the ground. And while they are at it they can eat all the coca leaves, peyote buttons and poppy plants that they want. Tobacco is a plant also, let’s get them some Camel non-filters too.

A player’s goal in the NFL is to get as high on the team’s depth chart as possible. But I’m not sure that just any high will do.

Your a 7th round draft pick whos never taken a snap. Your job was already in jeopardy something tells me the “project” that is Jonny Culbreath is likely over.

they arrested him, gave him a ticket, he paid it, and now the case is ended. You cant arrest someone if all youre going to do is give them a ticket…thats not how that works.
