Corie Blount, right, with his lawyer Anthony VanNoy
Who is Corie Blount and why he is sent to jail?
Corie Blount is former NBA player. Having played on seven teams in eleven years in the NBA, Blount was considered one of those hustle guys that would just go out there and get rebounds for you. In his career, he never averaged 20 minutes on the floor.
Blount was arrested Dec. 4 after authorities intercepted 11 pounds of marijuana that had been shipped to a Liberty Township home he owns and where his grandmother lives. Authorities discovered 18 more pounds of pot at his nearby home.
In addition to the prison time, Blount was fined $10,000. He also gave up two vehicles and $34,409 in cash that were seized in the bust. When he gets out of prison, Blount will be on probation for five years.
Too bad for a talented person like Corie Blount. The marijuana has ruined his life and his career. Man, drug is the root of all evil. Do not ever try something like that in your life.
