Former NBA player Corie Blount was arrested for felony drug possession. The former Chicago Bull was taken into custody after authorities saw him receive a package that contained marijuana. A subsequent search at his home found that Blount had 29 pounds worth of blunts.

According to Butler County officials, police saw Blount pick up a package from the US Postal Service that contained 11 pounds of marijuana. Law officials then followed him to his home where they served him with a search warrant.

At Blount's home, officers found two more large packages of marijuana. All told, Blount was in possession of 29 pounds of weed.

In addition to confiscating the marijuana, police also took away three guns, nearly $30,000 in cash, and three cars including a Mercedes Benz and a Cadillac Escalade.

The 6'9" Blount played for four NBA teams between 1994-2004, including the Chicago Bulls, Los Angeles Lakers, and Philadelphia 76ers.

Ex-NBA player turns in to dope boy makes no sense at all. Especially using the postal system for delivery of drugs. That in it self is a felony. I think this brother is going to be following Michael Vick to prison. What is happening to our Black athletes? Have they gone completely mad.????

2 bad a guy with Blount's life experiences and fortunate opportunities wasn't out helping others achieve success, instead of selling poison to the community that probably at one time revered him and looked at him as one of their own.
