Here's my breakdown of the linked report:

Someone called the police telling them USU athletes were smoking pot. Cops arrive at apartment building and smell pot. They smell it stronger coming from a specific apartment room. They get into the apartment and find 6 people in there. Then they find a 7th person. They determine pot was consumed in apartment. The press charges. Athletes cooperate.

Did they even find pot? Seems like they're being charged on a stool pigeon (what are we, BYU?) and the cops sense of smell. I'm sure there's more to it than that, and maybe that's enough to charge, but as others have said, innocent until proven guilty.

I remember a similar story involving Robert Turbin when he was present in a car that smelled like Pot. Charges were dropped and he was determined to be innocent. I'm expecting something similar here.
I sure hope so. I am just worried that people see the story and then never see anything else so they just assume he is the guy who was charge with pot possession. I hope it gets cleared up!

The line dropped for USU. It is now at -4.5.

I'm starting to hear there is less to this story than what is being reported. Expect this to end up being fought in court.
I guess we're all just going to ignore this...? One of the few people on this board with good sources and I haven't even seen much of a response to this post.

This is the problem with assuming that everyone is guilty from the get go. Let's wait until we have some actual facts before we "lose respect" for these players. Love and Bright at the very least have earned that much right?
Seriously. They haven't been convicted of anything. If they were in a room or apartment where the cops thought weed was being smoked, they would have been charged whether they smoked or not.

From personal experience, I have had the same thing happen with me in Logan. I fought the charges and they were later dropped.

Somewhat similar handwringing going on now at Georgia.

I wish this was the case but it is already all over espn and internet. People are going to label him which stinks for him and his legacy and future career.
This will be adjudicated and over with before the NFL combine. By that time Jordan will be able to answer any naysayers by telling them he wasn't involved.
If this really is the case and it ends up costing Jordan by dropping in the draft, would he have a case against anyone? I'd be pretty pissed if I got implicated in something right before the biggest opportunity in my life that could cost me money.

Probably not. It was his decision to be in that dorm room.

Logan City is just doing its job. They received a complaint, responded to the complaint, and enforced the law. This is just stupid by the players. They know the law. They know it was wrong. I'm glad they weren't operating a vehicle while smoking. They will probably pay a fine and move on with life.


Probably some BYU degenerate dropout decided to tattletale

This isn't an indictment on their character as people but on their judgment as individuals. A majority of people in this community do drugs for any number of reason ranging from recreation to medication and the drugs of choice range from harmless weed to life-altering and addicting prescribed pain killers. But the poor judgment of smoking pot in an apartment complex where even legal smoking of toabacco is not permitted by house rules and then of all places in The Millennial Towers, which is chock full of rich Mormon girls from Davis and Utah Counties who will sleep with you on a Friday night and call the police on you for smelling weed on a Saturday night, is the story for me. How could they not be versed in the ways of small town Utah and just find a home off campus to get high for a couple of hours like a normal college kid? Poor judgment indeed.

Listening to 1280 a few minutes ago. Love’s attorney says he is innocent and will be absolved of all charges....

FWIW.

Kinda ridiculous the kid has to hire an attorney for something like this.

If that's the case then what an indictment on LPD as a whole just rushing to charge him with a class B misdemeanor for the use and even Cache Valley Daily for blasting this out to the entire country. The story made national news quick.

Wow. Yeah, let’s not cast judgement on Love and Bright... but let’s write a post like this.

I’m all for breaking laws in the state/country you choose to live in and then there being no consequence. I don’t agree with x law so I don’t need to follow it.

In all seriousness we’ve all made mistakes but usually there is a consequence tied to it.

This was a bone headed mistake for these young men. I’m sure they are great young men and will learn from this and do great in life.

Would you consider it poor judgment for someone to smoke pot on the public sidewalk in front of the police department? I would. Maybe you think it is not poor judgment to smoke pot (or hang around pot smoking) in a public place like a high rise apartment complex...but I do consider to be poor judgment.

I don't think that's the part of your post to which dyedblue took exception.

We do understand that people are innocent until proven guilty. There is also that one that say's judge not lest you be judged. That's what I was taught in my church.

was it the article linked in the OP, or another one I read, that said the cops had to get a warrant for a urine sample from the suspects, but they were otherwise fully cooperative, or something to that effect. If they provided a urine sample, then they'll either be exonerated or proven guilty, right?

So is this the big bombshell thing that Ahbye was referring to a while back?
I would guess not, since it sounds like this all happened recently and Ahbye’s posts were from a while ago. I could be wrong though.
No, not what I was talking about. Weed is not a bombshell. Also, just because some states have chosen to legalize it doesn't change the fact that the substance causes issues in society. If some kid wants to get baked at his place and isn't going anywhere that night, I have less of a problem with it. However, I have yet to take a sex assault at USU that hasn't had the added flavor of drugs or alcohol. I don't remember one in the valley that hasn't either. I do have a problem with that. Now read between the lines.

Whatever your options are about marijuana the fact remains that it is illegal in Utah. Spare me the argument that it doesn’t matter because it’s legal in other states.

Yes, they are college kids, but that also doesn’t excuse this. I expect kids in our program to have better judgement. Especially leaders like Love and Bright.

Meh. These guys just finished up finals and their college careers. They’ve put in so much work and taken a beating on their bodies for the Aggies.

Let them have a few celebratory puffs at the end of great careers. I won’t come down on them for it.
Regardless of how you feel about the drug, if it’s a team rule to not do it and they broke team rules does that change your opinion about whether or not they should play? No player(s) should be bigger than the program.

Nope. Let them play in the bowl game. I certainly hope you never ever break the speed limit or use your phone while driving. Those are infinitely more dangerous to others than weed and are both illegal. If you have, I hope you are punished to the fullest and others harshly judge you for it while criticizing your name online for it.
Wrong. So stupidly and horrifically wrong.

I only heard it as I was driving. Gordon Monson read it on air so I’m assuming there is some sort of press release somewhere.

Yeah, it's so weird that the local Utah sports web page, ESPN, would even make a story of this non-issue. I'm just glad there are no national sport media outlets who might think this is newsworthy. So embarrassing for Utah.
Throwing pot politics aside, here's what we have:
Some guys knowingly broke the law and knowingly broke team rules. Seems to me that's only embarrassing for the idiots who willfully made that decision.

Not true. That is not what we have. We do not have all the facts yet. All we actually have is that they have been cited. That’s it. It has yet to be determined if they broke the law, team rules or anything else, knowingly or otherwise.

Question: In cases like this, is it the LPD or USUPD or both? Where do USUPD and LPD hand off? I mean, USU doesn't have a DA and a judge, do they? Are USU cases tried in Logan Municipal court or Cache County Court? How does this stuff work?

Bingo! Contrary to some of the hyperbole on here, you don't get charged with possession of marijuana in this valley (or this state) unless you've got it in your control or in your system. Those who say otherwise are full of $hit. Put up or shut up before you make stupid baseless allegations like that. Do you realize how stupid and hypocritical you sound? "The cops just round everybody up, throw them in jail, and then sort it all out later, and by the way, how dare they accuse the players of committing crimes without any evidence?" You indict yourselves with your speech.

Bottom line is that every time we have a disappointing year here (thinking of our 3-9 year), it's because of internal issues that are selfish in nature. It's not that they dislike their teammates, it's that they don't think of the team before making the decision. I haven't yet read this case and I don't have to. Stuff like this has been going on all year while the Logan press has fiddled. It just happened to catch the eye of a reporter this week.

Listening to 1280 a few minutes ago. Love’s attorney says he is innocent and will be absolved of all charges....

FWIW.

Kinda ridiculous the kid has to hire an attorney for something like this.
If that's the case then what an indictment on LPD as a whole just rushing to charge him with a class B misdemeanor for the use and even Cache Valley Daily for blasting this out to the entire country. The story made national news quick.
Question: In cases like this, is it the LPD or USUPD or both? Where do USUPD and LPD hand off? I mean, USU doesn't have a DA and a judge, do they? Are USU cases tried in Logan Municipal court or Cache County Court? How does this stuff work?
USU and LCPD have the same level of authority, court system, etc. Jurisdiction only pertains to geography. All police officers in the state of Utah can enforce the law in any part of the state. But that doesn't mean you just go and start writing tickets in Mantua.

Here's my breakdown of the linked report:

Someone called the police telling them USU athletes were smoking pot. Cops arrive at apartment building and smell pot. They smell it stronger coming from a specific apartment room. They get into the apartment and find 6 people in there. Then they find a 7th person. They determine pot was consumed in apartment. The press charges. Athletes cooperate.

Did they even find pot? Seems like they're being charged on a stool pigeon (what are we, BYU?) and the cops sense of smell. I'm sure there's more to it than that, and maybe that's enough to charge, but as others have said, innocent until proven guilty.

I remember a similar story involving Robert Turbin when he was present in a car that smelled like Pot. Charges were dropped and he was determined to be innocent. I'm expecting something similar here.

Here is the quote from Love’s attorney:

Love’s attorney, Skye Lazaro, issued a statement via email to The Salt Lake Tribune regarding the incident.
“Contrary to initial reports Jordan Love was not arrested for any offense, but simply cited by the officer for a low-level misdemeanor possession charge," Lazaro said. "Based on the information available at this time, there was no marijuana or other illegal substances recovered at the scene. Jordan maintains his innocence and is confident he will be exonerated as this matter progresses through the judicial process.”

If police were correct in everything they did we wouldn’t need courts and judges, now would we.
