Just came across this Associated Press story on former Laker Corie Blount, who played for the team between 1995-99.

Former Laker Corie Blount has been hit with a drug charge after authorities said they caught him picking up 11 pounds of marijuana in southwest Ohio.

Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones says after 39-year-old Blount retrieved the package from a Liberty Township address on Thursday, deputies followed him to his home nearby and arrested him. Jones says officers found another 11 pounds of pot inside Blount's house.

Blount was charged with felony drug possession. He was released from custody on $10,090 bond.
