Los Angeles County prosecutors said USC quarterback Mitch Mustain will not face felony charges following his arrest on suspicion of selling prescription narcotics. Mustain was arrested for allegedly selling Adderal, but prosecutors declined to file charges in the case as a felony because “lisdexamfetamine dimesylate” is not listed as a controlled substance.
Prosecutors said Mustain passed off the drug as a controlled substance, which could be a felony but noted Mustain did not have a criminal record.
Mustain could still face misdemeanor charges from the City Attorney’s office.

USC football, Trojans basketball and other sports news
Interesting. He was Vyvanse, which appears to have been designed to work like Adderal but with less potential for abuse, since it’s only effective if ingested.

Any long-time customers are not gonna be happy campers.
I wonder if Mustain saw the movie “Winter’s Bone” and got inspired.
Now that this incident is quickly fading away let’s take a moment to remember Darryl Henley for all the UCLA fans who frequent this blog. Not only was he convicted of trafficking large ammounts of cocaine but while behind bars for that, attempted to arrange the murder of the judge in the cocaine trial.
And you guys like to point fingers.
I heard Mustain was selling oregano to the freshmen…
maybe the bruins were right. we do own the police!
@Jethro, it’s hilarious to see you morons point to indidents that occured 30 years ago, try so hard to find an incident that occurred to a UCLA former athlete in an attempt to make yourselves feel better about having over 35 arrests over the past 8 years alone, from crimes that include 4 rape arrests, 2 assaulting a Police officer, assault & battery, soliciting sex from an undercover police officer. Hell, USC has TWO arrests in the past 96 hours!!! and let’s not forget the most infamous double murderer in the world trOJan
Simpson. HILARIOUS!!!
@VB’s Rey Maualuga was NOT kidding when he told the GF of the 150 lb. weakling that USC owns the Police, when she threatened to call the Police while he was beating to a pulp that poor little guy.
Rape, Murder, Assault, solicting sex from an undercover cop, you name the crime…USC players have NEVER been charged, all charges have been dropped each and every time…yes USC does own the Police.
Cheat On: the Cadre Executive Council has voted you Poster of the Week for your insightfull and clever posts!! you will receive a Certificate of Acheivement and two free passes to the next Preferred Plus night at Cadre HQ!!! that’s a ten dollar value.
Jethro Bodine: can’t belive you dredged up Henley!! we all know perfectly well every conversation about criminal athletes from now till the end of time begins and ends with OJ!!! Duh!
Current or former student-athletes that are arrested, but never convicted are, by definition, not criminals. The facts belie your point…which seemed to be that even USC’s criminals are better than UCLA’s.
By the way, OJ was acquitted of double murder. Henley tops the list of stupid criminals for his cell phone hit from prison. OJ is on that list for stealing his own stuff. (Both are depraved in their own way.)
Both trials occurred in 1995 (16 years ago, not 30), so if Henley’s conviction is old news, then so is OJ’s acquittal.
Having said all of that, all of the arrests are embarrassing to USC.
don’t forget the recent bruin purse snatchers!
Of all the ‘my school is better than your school’ ifantile rhetoric that goes on around here, the ‘our criminals vs your criminals’ is the most inane.
Quite frankly, the records are an embarrassment to both schools.
But how are you going to stop these kids?– Many come from disadvantaged environments, the young men have entitlement issues since being the “man” in sports at an early age, and then they are placed in a temptation-filled environment in a big city: A recipe for disaster.
Hey bRuin trolls, we OWN EVERYTHING in this town. Including YOU. FIGHT ON!
nice try, LJ, that’s like Bernie Maddoff saying “hey, every accountant makes some mistakes, lets not try to rank who is the worst!!”
OJ, Southern Cal’s greatest, most famous alum, turned overnight into the most notorious criminal since Bruno Haupman!!!
the racially divisive tactics of his “dream team” of oily shysters almost destroyed the city, literally!
and after his phony aquittal he spend his spare time spitting on the families of the victims!
Southern Cal = OJ
@VB thanks for proving my point, those three purse snatchers are no longer at UCLA. The difference between UCLA and USC is that at UCLA you find a ZERO tolerance for thugs…at UCLA you are a STUDENT first, then athlete, while at USC you are an ATHLETE first then a student.
If USC had practiced the ZERO tolerance as it is practiced at UCLA or any 99% of the schools (except Miami), USC would have had NO Mark Sanchez, No Herschel Dennis, No Winston Justice, No Eric Wright, No Rey Mauluga, No Brian Cushing, No Josh Pinkard, No Sharece Wright, No Frostee Rucker, (certainly No Reggie Bush, No Dwayne Jarred both cheaters) just to name a few arrestees and cheaters…so when we say USC won by cheating, that is exactly how it we mean, because USC does NOT operate like any other school does…USC makes it’s own rules “win at all cost”…at USC it’s the prisoners that run the asylum, and any idiot that tries to refute that, is a just that – an idiot.
Cheat On, apparently Rick Neuheisel should put you in charge of football recruiting, since you make such a passionate case against USC. I assume you could make an equally strong case in favor of UCLA (you’re just saving that for the home visits).
Then again, do you have the chops to successfully recruit your own son? I wonder how Coach Rick reeled in that big fish.
Cheat, you forgot one other difference: Fucla doesn’t have ONE full National Championship in football. Oh, I forgot, Bill Walton, Lew Alcindor, etc. NEVER took any extra benefits.
You are a joke.
What a sham. Look at the facts:
Mustain is actually a pharmaceutical sales person;
OJ was a cutlery rep for Swiss Army;
Griffin was measuring the cop for underwear as a salesman for Fruit of the Loom;
Cushing was working undercover for the Justice Dept.s case vs Clemens;
Justice gave Cheat Ons wife a ride.didnt know she was a ho.
See? You just have to check the facts.
torpedo, got all the props for Super Bowl covered tomorrow. This is great: Bookie already paid me. I took the money line. Jeeze, this is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Cheat ON:
That is quite a list you have compiled there. Do you have a lot of time on your hands? You might want to befriend Charlie. He has made up multiple characters, conducts dialogues among them on here and accuses others of having queer obsessions.
One other thing. Are you aware that some of your beloved powder blue football players have admitted to the exact same cheating you mention?
Cheating like that and still having the program suck must really be frustrating huh?
It might explain your unhealthy infatuation though.
The LA Dist.Atty’s office just charged CheatOn & Cu^t Smuck for felony boredom.
