Ex-NFL WR's cousin to plead guilty in drug caseDALLAS (AP) — A cousin of Sam Hurd has agreed to plead guilty in a federal drug conspiracy case involving the former NFL receiver. Jesse Tyrone Chavful signed a plea agreement Monday on one count of conspiracy to possess 5 or more kilograms of cocaine with intent to distribute. According to the agreement, Hurd asked Chavful last year to find him 10 kilograms of cocaine. Chavful allegedly tried to arrange a deal with people who turned out to be federal informants. Hurd is accused of establishing a drug ring while playing for the Chicago Bears. He was arrested in December after an alleged meeting to set up a drug buy. Chavful's attorney, Laura Harper, says Chavful takes "complete responsibility" for his involvement in the case. Hurd's attorney has dismissed Chavful's testimony as false. |
