Corie Blount Busted With 29 Pounds Of Weed

by Ryne Nelson

If you watched 90s basketball, you probably wondered if Corie Blount would ever get caught with dank.

Well, it happened: Police charged Blunt…er, Blount, with possession of over $50,000 worth of marijuana. Not only that, he got caught picking up 11 pounds of burnout in the mail, had three vehicles and three guns confiscated…it’s real dirty folks.

With more information and pictures from today’s drug bust, The Cincinnati Inquirer has it covered.

(Police) said that Blount arrived at the residence to retrieve the package, which contained 11 pounds of marijuana.

[…]

Police searched Blount’s home and the residence where the package was delivered. At Blount’s residence, deputies said they found a second package of marijuana containing about 11 pounds of marijuana. Authorities say a third package contained seven pounds of marijuana.

In addition to confiscating the 29 pounds of marijuana, the Butler County Sheriff’s Office confiscated $29,500 in cash, three vehicles and three guns.

Yes, Corie Blount is a millionaire with a degree in criminal justice.

In related news, Bob Huggins’ legacy at Cincinnati continues to ripen.

    Usually, I use that emotion to mean ‘cool,’ but this…it’s perfect!

    Corie channeled his inner Nate Newton with this one.

  • Ryne Nelson Posted: Dec.5 at 6:05 pm

    @The Black Clark Kent:No one will ever top Nasty Nate. He had like a hay bail in the back of a child molestor van.

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.5 at 6:09 pm
    Current NBA related people that i think smoke weed: D!ck Bavetta-old crazy hippy Andre Aldrige- Why is he always so happy? Because he is stoned like Israeli Soliders on the west bank, thats why! Stephon Marbury- See 2007,Summer of David Stern- Only way to deal with constant crtisim Phil Jackson- Honelsty, with all his ‘new age’ coaching garbage, i think this is the only one of these names that might actually be true

  • H to the Izzo Posted: Dec.5 at 6:10 pm
    Maybe tall people just need more.

  • H to the Izzo Posted: Dec.5 at 6:12 pm
    BET:The fact that you left out Bill Walton makes me think that you’re high.

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.5 at 6:14 pm
    Izzo; Walton snorts Cocaine, check his nostrils, and his ringtone is the song with the same title by Eric Clapton. Preach.

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.5 at 6:15 pm
    “Because he is stoned like Israeli Soliders on the west bank, thats why!” is the greatest thing i ever thought of. This is just one of the many examples of BETreatness. I am so proud of myself.

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.5 at 6:17 pm
    too much fun, i am off to XAT, i will be in the FLIRT room if anyone wants conversation. Peace

  • H to the Izzo Posted: Dec.5 at 6:18 pm
    BET:Unless there was a Disco Walton,I don’t think he was on the coke.(Though in the 70′s everyone was),he was,however most likely on everything else.Maybe not heroin(Unless there was a Grunge Walton).

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.5 at 7:22 pm
    I thought 29 pounds of weed would be worth way more than $50k.

  • H to the Izzo Posted: Dec.5 at 7:39 pm
    Russ:It was probably some rubbery,black diesel sh*t,nothing like a good headache.

  • nick Posted: Dec.5 at 8:39 pm
    I think the “I was gonna smoke it all” defense is out the window on this one.

  • Ryan Jones Posted: Dec.5 at 8:50 pm
    Seriously, though, what’s dank?

  • Russ Bengtson Posted: Dec.5 at 8:51 pm
    How about the “I was just holding it for Damon Stoudamire” defense?

  • BETCATS Posted: Dec.5 at 8:53 pm

  • justin Posted: Dec.6 at 1:57 pm
    If he has 29 pounds (HELL YEAH!)and it was estimated at $50g, he had to be messing with some straight dirt. Flying dirt across the country?? Was he selling to teenagers?

  • justin Posted: Dec.6 at 1:59 pm
    - and when ya’ll mention people in the NBA who smoke, ya’ll gotta stop only listing like 5 people. Mad people spark up, just like everywhere else. Probably not really during the season though.

  • Arek Posted: Dec.6 at 3:03 pm
    29 pounds.. holyyyy sheeeeeeeet justin, prices are way cheaper when you buy at large amounts
