Cops: Denver Broncos Running Back Was High on Drugs, Carrying Gun

in Denver Broncos In Trouble With The Law
Email
PrintIt's been reported by the star chasers on the TV show TMZ, that Denver Broncos running back Laurence Maroney was high on drugs AND in possession of a firearm when cops arrested him in St. Louis last night ... this according to law enforcement.
The St. Louis PD tells TMZ that the 25-year-old Maroney was arrested for possession of marijuana and unlawful use of a weapon. Cops say while Maroney has a valid "Conceal and Carry" permit -- he was arrested for packing the gun while under the influence of drugs. Maroney was in a car with 5 other people late Monday night when cops say they observed "several occupants" of the vehicle smoking what was believed to be marijuana. Five of the six people in the car were arrested and three firearms were discovered during the bust including two handguns and a rifle.
It's unclear which gun cops have associated with Maroney.
Maroney's rep had released a statement saying, "Mr. Maroney was unlawfully arrested for possession of weapons. He holds a permit to carry a concealed weapon and he had his permit on his person when he was arrested."
The rep added, "He was not arrested for any drugs nor was he involved in a high speed chase. He was released without being charged with any offense and we do not anticipate he will be charged with any criminal offense."

When will the NCAA admit that it is a business with the sole purpose for making money off of student athletes?

He is a joke and Im glad he wont be on the team in the next few weeks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
McD loved trading picks for HIS guys and that has killed us,
live and die blue and orange
MARIJUANA ISNT BAD
Dont be ignorant if youve never done it before.. because you’ve been brainwashed to think its bad…
But then again, at least Maroney is likely on his way out!!
Totally off-topic, but although there is no research for MJ specifically,
there is fascinating and very thought-provoking research going on in a field now named epigenetics. This field looks at the function of all the rest of the chromosome that is not DNA…the epigenome. Whether it be smoking (nicotine), alcohol, diet, level of exercise, etc, it apppears that we can alter the expression of not only our own DNA during our lifetime, but also that which we pass to our children. We are not just our “DNA,”….we are the result of which parts of our DNA are active and which are inactive, and our bodies are flexible enough to alter that composite of expression even during our lifetime, AND THEN to then pass the alterations onward to the next generation. It’s fascinating to consider what changes in long-standing belief systems are going to occur over the next 10-20 years. Male or female, we appear to be passing onward consequences from our environment and our choices in that environment, and at the genomic level…thus a choice such as smoking, deciding to do memory exercises, deciding to not exercise, and so many more …they all appear to affect not just us, but our children. In one study (Sweden?) even emotional states such as level of anxiety appear to be changing expression of our genetic options, and then be passed in our gametes to our children. This could explain some of the data out of the transcendental meditation studies of the 80s and 90s that have been so hard to fathom. Thus, it appears that it is not just ourselves that are affected by our choices…our sons and daughters are also. Of course, what is beneficial change and what is detrimental is a very fertile area for speculation and introspection.
ON TOPIC- the guy seems to have made a really poor choice if he want to succeed in the league…maybe he has given that goal up, and maybe that is why he never reached his “potential” (whatever that means..hate that phrase).
And I had to scroll back up to read the headline again
but what? NFL Star? More like black hole on offense…he just sucks

Not sure Maroney qualifies as an NFL star. More like an NFL BUST. Thanks for that one last garbage trade McX.

I'm more miffed at Maroney
than the Hillis/BQ trade. Maroney for a 4th is the worst trade McD did IMO. Even worse than Phonz….both times. Thats how bad Maroney sucks.

I think the trade of a first round pick for Alphonso was worse, but a fourth round for Maroney definitely is a brutal call of mcds part

haha
I was about to post the same thing….this report is wrong, it refers to Maroney as an NFL “star”
Pretty ridiculous that we traded a 4th round pick for him. We’re going to be lucky to get much better for Orton. And if Maroney is a “star,” Orton is a cross between Elway and Jesus.

I didn't know he was only 25
He played like he didn’t give a shit, and apparently he doesn’t.

Why are we posting TMZ Garbage
He was in a separate veichle than the guys who had marijuana….not drugs…haha
And on top of that the gun he had was licensed, he was released without charges…so why is this a story
There no story end the propaganda
if you are intoxicated, regardless of whether you deem marijuana a drug or not, you should not be carrying a firearm. Second, you are an nfl player, you want to stay in the league, seperate yourself from losers, or you will end up like a loser.

Understand, but they are in St Louis
He has money and wanted to be protected its in his rights to carry a firearm with a license which he had
If his friends in their own vehicles were doing something like smoking that is on them, successful people can hang out with people who smoke marijuana – because many very successful people smoke it is not a reflection of character to smoke
Yes it is
It is illegal. Breaking the law is a pretty tell-tale sign of bad character in most cases.

Most, not all...
Smoking Marijuana is what is known as a victimless crime, and the legislation surrounding this plant is archaic and it originated from false pretenses. There are laws all over this world that would not be a sign of bad character if they were broken. It’s all a matter of perspective, be thankful you live in a country where you and a16416 have a right to one.

Its victimless for the user, but i dont think anyone truly knows what goes on behind the scenes. Your going to tell me that supplyers and dealers dont ever get into the odd arguement? Marijuanas is never laced? Kids dont use it? Accidents dont occur because of driving under the influence? I think thats why its not legal. However, if it was legal, that would make much more sense as the gov’t could regulate it. Until then, people caught under the influence, or with others who are deemed in possesion are breaking the law, and we dont need that on the Broncos.

Good point
its just a tad confusing to read “weed is illegal cause of this” “‘this’ is cause its illegal” “marijuana is bad mkay”. Ok might have got the quotes wrong, but ya know what I mean :)
Smoking Marijuana is the crime I was referring to being victimless; not black market politics, not trafficking, not lacing with harder drugs, not selling to minors. Marijuana is extremely benign compared to other substances that other individuals on the team are known to use (Google Images of Kyle Orton). However, just like any other substance it can be abused, but literally anything can be abused if not used in moderation. Aside from all that, Maroney wasn’t even doing anything ‘wrong’, there were no charges pressed. So what is it that you are saying we don’t need on the Broncos? We don’t need an overrated running back? That’s the real question…

In Maroney's case, I would agree that the mix of gun/drugs is tell-tale of bad character
but I find offence to the blanket statement as a person who has broken the law in the past(nothing remotely big) and knows plenty of good people that have as well.
I agree with this, and you're right above
Mixing guns/drugs is more of a tell-tale of stupidity IMHO but just because you have broken the law doesn’t make you a terrible person
A) Drugs is plural and sounds worse than it is, like crack and meth. TMZ likes to stir up sh*t...
Here is the first reported article:

B) Living in Denver, we all know that marijuana is medicine
C) I would carry a gun in St Louis too don’t hate! (see Americas’s most dangerous city article)

Or levels of deviant behavior…Some is viewed by society as acceptable, such as J walking (when was the last time you saw a cop stop someone for J walking he must have been bored!) while on the other end of the spectrum murder is considered unacceptable (by the majority of society) deviant behavior.

are always reported separately even though alcohol is a dangerous drug in and of itself. Stigmatic double-standards will continue to persist.

Not quite true
medical marijuana is spreading amongst the states.
And part of being American is standing up against laws we feel violate our freedoms, not bending over and taking it because its law. Its why women and minorities can vote. Its why our workplaces our 1000x safer than a century ago. Our country is so powerful because its flexable and able to correct mistakes. This is one that is soon to be corrected. Having alcohol legal but weed illegal is pure hypocrisy.
Eitherway, weed is a drug(as is ibuprofen) and carrying a gun while smoking weed is stupid and just asking for it.
If he had a med Marijuana card then it would be LEGAL so
whats your point
Dos Equis!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO BRONCOS
not in colorado or anywhere i think
having a MMJ card proves addiction to an illegal substance, i.e. you cant have a concealed carry permit, because it is required the permit not be addicted to any illegal substances. i suppose you could lie on your application for a CC permit if you wanted to though.
"standing up against laws we feel violate our freedoms..."

If you have a CCP and are currently carrying
you have to tell the officer as soon as you are pulled over. It becomes unlawful to carry if you are under the influence of any, including legal, drugs.
by ThorpeBroncosfan on Jan 18, 2011 2:14 PM MST up reply actions
Indeed
same laws here in AZ regarding being pulled over.
Being on any drug that affects you and carrying a gun is stupid and should always be against the law. Even if its a legal prescriptions(percocet..ect), guns and mind influencing drugs do not mix, and I know at least in AZ carrying is illegal on any influencing drug(as well as DUIs, can get one for being on nyquil here).
So, is carrying a gun high on Ibuprofen stupid?
What a terrible analogy. Carrying a gun drunk is stupid. Carrying a gun high on cocaine is stupid. Carrying a gun high on weed is just paranoia. People that are high are very observant and cautious.
You misread my statement
I did not make an analogy regarding ibuprofen. That was to point out that “drugs” is a broader term than some were giving it credit for, as some were saying it was not a drug.
Dude Ive been high plenty of times when I was in HS
on mj, and I would not trust myself or anyone with a gun while theyre high. You tend to forget things like putting the safety on, making sure its not chambered, keeping you finger straight and off the trigger so on and so on
You don’t eff around with guns. You just don’t. I would not trust myself with a gun even if I was sober, but emotionally compromised. I have a military father and was taught very strict gun handling, and stories like the one about the kids being shot by a gun going off in a backpack validate that stringent mindset.
I actually think its true
I was watching a lecture from VS Ramachandran on humor and how it came to manifest in the brain. He makes a very compelling argument that humor is our own internal “false alarm” system. Think of it this way, when you see someone fall, if there is blood on the ground, you go and help. However, if they start to get back up just fine, you start laughing, giving an audible noise to let others around know its a false alarm. Now of course it has sociologically evolved since then, but thats where it started. If you think about a lot of types of humor, the “false alarm” context seems to explain a lot, for me personally.
Now what happens most often while high? Laughter. Lots of false alarms due to being paranoid and at times hyper-observant. Sometimes that hyper-observance is focused on introspection, hence the dazed out stereotype.

Just the way it goes. Still, in the long run….I think it is a good move for the Broncos to move on from him.
Probably a 4th from the UFL draft.
it would be offered as a “future” 4th rounder, ie, whenever they decide to have a draft..if ever.

Don't beat me up too much for this
But until we see what he can do with some holes to run through, I wouldn’t give up on Maroney yet. None of our running backs did much good last year, and I don’t think that totally weighs on them. As for the charges, I’m inclined to believe in innocent until proven guilty.If he had no drug charges against him, I don’t see how they could give him a weapons charge. And in the end, even if you don’t want to see him on our team next year, you should still be hoping for the best for him.

There is a reason New England got rid of him
He stinks, he had a decent O-line there and still couldn’t do anything, he is a waste of space on the roster, and I also find it curious that he was deactivated late in the season in favor of Ball, so that tells you how much faith the coaching staff had in him.

I agree he hasn't lived up to his potential
But I’m just of the mindset that he could still turn that around with a little work and some good holes. Plenty of people gave up on Brandon Lloyd before he came here, sometimes it’s just finding the right scheme to give a player success.
My main point though is it bothers me that so many people seem excited for him to crash and burn. They’re like sharks in the water smelling blood over this. There’s no reason to hope he gets in trouble with the law, especially when there’s a good chance he was totally innocent in all of this and the cops should be the ones in trouble.

Why didn't the Broncos get rid of him?
I assume there’s some date they have to hit to save money when buying him out. Otherwise there’s really no excuse to not have cut him long ago.
Because we traded for him
McD would of looked even dumber had he traded for him and then cut him, so no way McD was going to get rid of him this season. But with a new regime, I have no idea why we would even keep him on the roster at this point.

If he makes the team look bad by getting arrested, and he doesn’t even perform well on the field… who wants him around?’
Even if he is innocent, I still want him out of here.
I agree
he has done nothing to merit a roster spot, and apparently he is also an idiot. The news just made me question why he is still on the roster.

He shakes and bakes too much for my taste.
The NFL is way too fast. He should just pick a place and go. If he hasn’t learned that by now, he is uncoachable. Therefore, I say release him. Chalk him up as if he is a 4th rounder that didn’t work out and move on.
If the guy wants to jeopardize his career by hanging with the wrong people, there are 224 people in this draft willing to take his roster spot. I for one wont remember him 10 days after he is released.

It’s magnified since Maroney was terrible this season, but stuff like this happens too often, unfortunately.
TMZ is a guilty pleasure of mine, but they’re like an annoying girlfriend that thinks they know more than they do when talking about sports. If Maroney is a ‘star’, C-Buck is getting fitted for a mustard jacket.

No Story!
No charges, none anticipated. Had licence on his person…. Sounds like a slow news day. Don’t really care for Maroney. He seems to be keeping ‘less than desireable company’ for someone in his position – but the story is nothing at all
agree that legally this is probably a non-story
however, it does show poor judgement on his part, and given his terrible on field performance (he has zero burst left), I say he’s a headache we don’t need anymore. A bit of thuggery may be a cost of business for some leite talent, but Maroney is a sub-replacement level player, so there is no reason to put up with it.
Given our early season RB injuries last year and promise he showed early career, he may have been worth a shot (a 4th was too much for a guy NE was gonna cut, but whatever), but once he showed that his poor NE performance was more than just needing a change of scenary, he’s proven he’s not worth a roster spot.
Replacement level guys like Ball, etc. are far better values for the roster slot, so to Maroney I say “Bye Bye!”
No it doesn't make it right
I wish all our players could be like Tim Tebow, but football players don’t come that way too often
fair enough

He is just as valuable as that other guy who got picked up for a 4th. What was his name? Holdin? Goldin? Moldin? I can’t remember.
Sweet! I hope that cop wrote him a ticket out of town.
Tim Tebow wears 3WM and drinks Tuscan whole milk.
Well...
This is more action than he saw on the field this year. Good for you Laurence. You and Ricky Williams have fun looking for a new team.
If Warren Sapp is so damn smart, let him take the snaps.

In good times and bad times, I'm a Bronco fan. Sucka.

Of all the Bronco running backs he could have followed after
Of all the Bronco running backs he could have followed after, he had to go the Travis Henry/Bobby Humphrey route . . . . .

Man this guy is such a waste of space on and off the football field! Why do we always end up with these douchebags!! Man I can’t wait to. Hopefully see a 3headed monster attack with moreno deangelo and lendale next year. Put all these mediocre rushing years behind us and be dominant once again.

He tried to run from the cops
However he only made it half a yard before they tackled him.

This is news?
Who cares about a worthless, overpaid, never amounted to anything as a professional football player who, most likely, will not be invited to the Broncos training camp?
MHR is becoming border-line Denver Post. What’s next in the way of “breaking news”?
Are we going to hear about what the National Enquirer has to print on the subject?
TMZ – give me a f——— break! I hope you’re not all wearing your tin foil caps when you watch TMZ from your grandmother’s basement.

I didn't see "breaking news"
this is a blog, everything posted gets on the front page. Its not indicative of importance.
Its about a Bronco player, it makes sense that MHR would have either an article or fanpost/fanshot about it.
He's not nearly talented enough to get away with this. Oh well. Adios L.M.

Anyone think McD traded for Maroney b/c he knew he was on his way out?
One last stick it to the man.

Josh lied.
He said he was bringing in character guys.
Then they all got arrested.

There will be vulgarity. There will be praise for Tebow. There will be other musings as well.

Well kind of surprised...
To read this kind of post on MHR is new TMZ stuff. Well the NFL reported that he was arrested but not charged. More to come. I hate judging before all the facts comes out. Probable wouldn’t have made the roster but now he’s got an uphill battle for sure.
Giving up a #4 pick in the 2011 draft for an injured player by McDaniels ranks high as one of the worst trades in Bronco history. Only the Steve Tensi trade was worst IMO.

I don't understand these guys man
you have all the money in the world and you do dumb stuff to mess it all up. Seriously what are these guys thinking?
Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder?
exactly...
You basically win the lottery for jobs for the first few years of your adult life..and then blow our nose on it.
Have to wonder
If this was Hillis or Kuhn, how many fans would consider them an all-american folk hero being oppressed by the nanny state.
If Hillis was in a car
with 4 people smoking dubes and packing 3 loaded guns I’d say he’s an idiot too. This isn’t a race thing it’s a stupidity thing. Even if you want to do that kind of thing, I’m sure one of the 5 has a house they could hang out and smoke in.

Very poor judgment from yet another Bronco
But I hate how this headline is worded. It makes it seem like he was high on meth, cocaine, and heroine all at once…
Typical media garbage
But most folks eat it up like candy. Smoking pot is not going to go away. In California it’s an industry. I was surprised prop 19 didn’t pass. MADD opposed it. Maybe that’s why. I could care less if Maroney smokes pot, didn’t smoke pot but knows guys who do, and whatever else. It was stupid to be in the situation he placed himself in however. I do agree that I hate looking online and the 1st thing I see is a Bronco got arrested for what -F’in-ever. I want to see us spoken of in positive ways for good things our players do on and off the field. Is that asking too much?
We conquered this territory with our bodies and souls, then we watered it with our tears.
