Louis Bland Arrested For Drugs And A Stolen Stop Sign

PrintJust a few days after we learned Louis Bland would be out for the 2011 season with a nagging knee injury, we've now learned his been arrested for possession of marijuana, possession of a controlled substance and possession of stolen property. Bland was set to undergo another surgery on his knee, putting his career at WSU in doubt, but his latest arrest brings up a variety of other issues, none of which have to do with football.
The report comes from ESPN Northwest. Police came to Bland's residence for a noise complaint, smelled marijuana, obtained a search warrant and found quite the haul.
Police obtained and executed a search warrant at the home and found misdemeanor amounts of marijuana along with a powdery substance and pills which will be sent to the state crime lab for identification. A stolen stop sign was also reportedly found in the home.
A few days ago, I guessed Bland's career was over due to a knee injury that just wouldn't heal. Now, after his second arrest in three months, we can probably assume his career is over for his off-field problems. After a promising freshman year, it's been all downhill for Bland, it seems, and it sure looks like this is the end of the road.
It'd be awesome if our athletes could stop getting in trouble for drugs because this is getting a wee bit embarrassing. In fact, we passed that point months ago.

Fullmer Cup
We must be in the lead for the Fullmer Cup by now. I guess we should be thankful that these points came cheap.
As to the stop sign, since you can buy and posses those legally, I hope they have some idea about when or where the sign went missing from.
Go Cougs!
Nope.
Auburn scored about 75 points in one day in March.

Yeah, there's no chance.
Auburn set the bar waaaaaay too high this year.

Darn.
If were going to act like a bunch of knuckleheads we might as well get a trophy for it. Thanks Auburn.

PPD takes their street signage very seriously
They broke my friend’s arm bringing him down for taking the Colorado St sign.
I didn't say this last week because it wasn't mentioned and I thought maybe it had been taken care of,
but I think that a second knee surgery is the least of his problems. This is about the 7th arrest for marijuana this year (Atofau, Barrington, 2 baseball players, Klay, Reggie, D, and Bland). Seems like an epidemic.

If there is a silver lining
I guess it’s that Bland was already done anyways so his arrest doesn’t impact our depth at all…having this many run ins with the law across our athletic department over the past 5 years or so is ridiculous though.
Streamin' and Threadin' and Shellin
When is CougCenter going to get a ticker
so we can keep up with all the arrests? We need a new section just dedicated to this. Didn’t Bland get into some domestic violence trouble a few months ago? I am really starting to be embarrassed by all of this. Are things worse than in the past? Are the cops no longer turning a blind eye? Are athletes getting dumber? Is drug use more rampant than before? What is going on? Is the internet and more reporting the reason? I don’t know. I remember in 97-98 when I was at Wazzu Leaf threw a whole pitcher of beer over everyone in Shakers and got kicked out for getting into a scuffle in the hallway, but nothing was reported. I wonder what would happen if that happened now days?

Not all of them.
Is drug use more rampant than before? Certainly not if your before goes back to the 70’s or even earlier.
Interesting story about Leaf ...
… I remember my little brother – the Coug of the family – telling me of witnessing the same kind of thing when he was in school. I’m guessing the two of you were in the same place at the same time.
Damn, my eyeball tastes good.

It was classic
He came into Shakers with his leather Heisman Trophy Finalist (not winner) jacket on, sticking out his tongue and yelling raise the roof (while doing the raise the roof motion with his arms). Then a little bit later hurled a pitcher of beer over the crowd. Then a while later I looked in the hallway and there was a scuffle and (if I remember right) Michael Black and some big lineman were holding him back. I remember something was reported that happened later that night with Leaf, but none of it had to do with the bar stuff. I was glad it wasn’t reported. I kinda miss those days. By the way Michael Black was a nice guy and I am happy to see Leaf has turned his life around and is getting involved again with the university.

A stop sign?
For what dumb ass reason would you steal a stop sign?

As a reminder...
To stop smoking pot?

They smelled pot after the door was opened
At that point, they have probable cause and don’t need a warrant.
Or if you are wearing a Kottonmouth Kings T-Shirt.
That’s probably cause right?

I answer your question with a statement of fact:
I’ve stolen 3 stop signs in my life.

Even if our entire team had stolen stop signs,
I still wouldn’t care.

Look at it from his point of view.
When you know you are going to miss another football season you need to do something. You need to entertain yourself in Pullman.
