Leaf indicted on drug charges

It is quite ironic that I ran into this story about Ryan Leaf being indicted on drug charges no more than a day and a half after I wrote in this post that the name "Vick" was now just as toxic as "Leaf" in the NFL.
The second pick of the 1998 draft by the Chargers (as you all know, the guy next to him in the picture was selected first) was charged with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and one count of delivery of a simulated controlled substance on Wednesday, according to the Amarillo Globe-News.
According to the report, while Leaf was working as the quarterbacks coach at West Texas A&M University, he broke into the apartment of a West Texas player who had recently been prescribed the painkiller Hydrocodone and stole some of the medication. He also presented an incomplete medical history to a handful of doctors between January and September of last year in hopes of scoring Hydrocodone.
Leaf, 33, resigned from the West Texas job when reports about the Oct. 30 incident first surfaced, and has been in drug rehab in British Columbia for the past few months.
Unfortunately for Leaf, the worst may not be over. Said James Farren, the Randall County criminal district attorny: "We have not found any evidence implicating anyone other than Mr. Leaf in this case ... but believe there's additional evidence implicating him in other events."
