Washington (CNN) -- NFL player Samuel Hurd has been arrested and
charged with conspiring to distribute cocaine, U.S. Immigration
and Customs Enforcement announced Thursday.
Agents say Hurd, 26, a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, was
arrested Wednesday night after a five-month investigation that
began in Dallas, where Hurd once played for the Cowboys.
Authorities say he was trying to set up a drug distribution
network in Chicago.
The complaint states that Hurd met with an ICE undercover agent
at a restaurant in Chicago on Wednesday night when, law
enforcement officials say, Hurd introduced himself as the person
communicating with a confidential informant.
Hurd stated that he was interested in purchasing 5 to 10
kilograms of cocaine, at $25,000 per kilogram, and 1,000 pounds
of marijuana at $450 per pound per week for distribution in the
Chicago area, according to ICE.
Hurd said that "he and another co-conspirator currently
distribute about four kilograms of cocaine per week in Chicago
but that his supplier couldn't supply him with enough quantity,"
Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials said.
After they finished negotiating, according to the complaint, the
undercover agent presented Hurd with a kilogram of cocaine that
Hurd accepted.
"Hurd stated that he plays for the Chicago Bears and that he
gets out of practice at about 5:30 p.m., after which he would
make arrangements to pay for the kilogram of cocaine," ICE
officials said in a news release, "Hurd left the restaurant with
the bag of cocaine and was arrested shortly thereafter in the
parking lot of the restaurant."
If convicted, Hurd faces a maximum penalty of 40 years in prison
and a $2 million fine for conspiracy to possess with intent to
distribute 500 grams or more of cocaine. CNN's efforts to
contact Hurd's lawyers were unsuccessful Thursday afternoon

It was only a little side business to put a few more shekels in his
pockets.
