Keith McCants Falling On Hard Times
June 4th, 2010Perhaps the man who personified the ineptitude of the Bucs in the franchise’s darkest days, first round bust Keith McCants, has run afoul of the law. Again.
Per the Mobile Press-Register, via ProFootballTalk.com, McCants was popped for the fourth time in 12 months, this time for use and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police spokesman Officer Christopher Levy said narcotics officers spotted McCants in the 1300 block of Hercules Street about noon and found an item considered drug paraphernalia. Levy would not specify what the item was.
On May 4, McCants was arrested on a charge of attempting to purchase drugs, and on Dec. 19, McCants was picked up on a paraphernalia charge as well as a charge of loitering for the purpose of drug activity, according to Press-Register files.
Last Oct. 20, McCants was arrested on outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court to answer two misdemeanor drug charges, according to the files.
Joe is sad to read this. Clearly McCants has a problem. If the cops have pinched him four times in the past year, that tells Joe he’s in their crosshairs and surely McCants must know this as well.
Still, he can’t stay away from the contraband. Very sad.

So, all of his charges are based ff of drug use? Nothing violent, no theft, no rape? Damnit, we need to really make some of these drugs legal. He isn’t hurting anyone so why put him in jail. This is just ridiculous.

Kevin — did you ever meet Keith McCants? He was not the way you describe him.

Hopefully he turns his life around. Horrible draft pick though. Another what if in Bucs history. What if Junior Seau said he wanted to play for the Bucs instead of implying that he wouldn’t? Seau and Broderick Thomas could have made a great tandem.
