Former Philadelphia Eagles Safety Patrick Chung Indicted On Cocaine Possession Charge
LACONIA, N.H. (CBS/AP) — New England Patriots safety -- and former Philadelphia Eagle -- Patrick Chung has been indicted in New Hampshire on a charge of cocaine possession. A Belknap County grand jury indicted the 32-year-old Chung on Aug. 8.
Authorities say Chung knowingly possessed cocaine on June 25 while in Meredith.
Chung's arraignment is scheduled for Wednesday.
He has played for the Patriots for nine of his 10 NFL seasons and won three Super Bowls. Chung also played for the Eagles in 2013 after signing a three-year deal but was released following the season.
The Laconia Sun reports town records show that Chung owns a lakeside home in Meredith.
It is not clear whether Chung has an attorney who can speak for him. The court file doesn't list one.
The Associated Press left a message seeking comment with a spokesperson for the Patriots. The voicemail box for Chung's agent was full.
