You still can not sell it illegally and also the Federal Govt has not legalized it either. I don't care what State have legalized it, it is still illegal in the Federal Gov't eyes.

Arrested for selling 10-30 grams= Class "4" felony= one year mandatory minimum sentence/maximum 3 years plus 25K fine.
The charges can always be reduced, especially if he cooperates---ie., discloses his supplier.

Newspaper article says that he was arrested for "unlawful delivery of marijuana" and the penalty is probation to three years. I don't know if that is a difference charge than selling.

[EightyfourBison]

Just trying to support his family.

Isn't he the player that got married shortly before the Championship game? Really could have used that cost of attendance stipend.

Edit-- guess I should have read the Spack thread over in Smack Talk first.

They are the same thing.

Also, I posted this in the Spack thread:

In a "typical" case, yes on probation; but, here, he was selling to a member of a drug task force (according to the article--and pretty difficult to question the integrity/credibility of the author :biggrin:). That suggests that he was on their radar, which, in turn, suggests this is not your run-of-the-mill/"typical" case.

[Vet70]

From Brmmsax210 on the Redbird Forum:
Plenty of ISU student-athletes have been in trouble with the law and have remained on the team. Levi Dyer had a DUI. According to public access, Tre Roberson pled guilty to Class A misdemeanor of driving on a suspended license.

I'm not so sure what Coprich is accused of is the same situation.

Selling drugs crosses a very big line. This guy should be done in college for playing football. If he wants and grades are good enough let him stay in school to get an education. He needs it.

[Vet70]

If this was a one time event, maybe---if this wasn't the first time and there is a pattern of dealing there may be more charges and I don't see any way that he returns.

[Bison bison]

Big deal.

Who hasn't been entrapped by an Illinois anti-drug task force.

[NDSU1980]

Maybe they operate like UN_, just bring in some scum bag lawyer to beat the wrap. It sure worked for them when it came to lawn mower chucking and elevator pissing. Never underestimate how low some places will go to get an acquittal.

[unbison]

Or the plea agreement will be a simple possession charge???

[tjbison]

I would be shocked if they go that easy on him, there had to be previous knowledge of his involvement, I doubt his first night out in the street selling in Normal illinois resulted in him meeting an undercover cop..

I don't disagree they will not be the max, and none of us know the circumstances, but like I said, 1/4, 1/2, 1/8th whatever, he still managed to find a drug enforcement officer so IMO they were tracking him and or tipped off he was a dealer....of course he could be the unluckiest SOB ever too..

[scottietohottie]

Well I didn't realize I was in the wrong thread. A police informant is different then an undercover cop. I'd say coprich got busted by some college kid trying to save his own ass and that little amount won't amount to much more then a few game suspension.

[Bison bison]

Um. It was an undercover agent of an Illinois anti-drug task force.

[scottietohottie]

There was just an article posted in another coprich thread that is gone now that said police informant not an undercover cop. You would think if he was a dealer he would have been busted with a bigger amount by an undercover cop.

He was arrested by an "undercover agent with Illinois State Police Task Force Six." The link below was posted in post #3 by Longhorn.
http://www.wjbc.com/2015/05/11/illinois-states-coprich-arrested-on-drug-charge/

The problem with saying that the" little amount won't amount to much" and is no big deal is that we don't really know at this point if it was a one time transaction or if more is involved. The fact that it was a State Task Force could mean that it was part of an on-going larger investigation where more that one transaction was involved. At any rate, something got Coprich on their radar and if this was more than a single transaction he is gone.

This is the most probable scenario except for Coprich's penalty! If the prosecutor is an ass he could be tough on him, but I hope not. Back in my day this was maybe 50 bucks worth of weed. I know weed is unfortunately considered a DRUG by the Feds, but the fact is alcohol abuse is a bigger problem to society.

[Vet70]

Here is how I see things. Coprich was a dope if he was selling---If he does return to the team he could be a blaze, especially on AstroTurf and he could go loco. On a good day he could do 420 (in more than a quarter) if the defense didn't put a lid on him. He is a shifty runner, a zig zag man so to speak.

It doesn't seem logical to me that a Statewide Drug Taskforce would be out looking for $50 worth of weed. Let's see how this plays out. He's either going to be off the team, or he's going to be a huge negative influence on team chemistry, moral and discipline. Either way..........win/win for ISUr's competitors.

I agree. His head is like a 'pack of rocks", and the problem is that ISUr has no 'homegrown' talent in the 'pipe' line. If they did, they would blow the 'lid' off the place. But don't go by my word on it, I'm going to 'reefer' you to those that know better.

You are right no one knows...Cops may have had grant $$$$ to spend and figured they would hit the bars and for some easy pickens. Maybe Cops were fishing and caught him, then realized he had no real value so they charged him. Or maybe the caught him he cooperated and this is a reduced charge that been in progress for the last 3 years. Or like someone said, someone else got caught and used Coprich It could be a million things....we got to wait for the smoke to clear before we can see through the haze

No way of knowing if there is a connection, but Dunmore who was kicked off the team in Oregon and transferred to ISU was let go about the same time Coprich was arrested. I am sure that there is a taskforce in Illinois that just might be looking to see if others on the team were involved. Some on the Redbird forum are now hinting that the whole thing is just going to go away.

Article says he admitted to more than possession, says he admitted to selling. What exactly was the outcome that would warrant his original suspension to remain? He basically admitted to exactly what he was charged with which is what triggered the suspension in the first place?

i wouldnt be shocked if he didnt, Coprich just ran out of time to get away is all.....

[td577]

I am not sure how I would feel about this if it was a Bison player. While laws in most states about MJ might be archaic and should be changed to reflect a more contemporary societal attitude, the reality is in Illinois, it is illegal to deal pot. He is now a convicted drug dealer who has no further repercussions with the football program as he was immediately reinstated. The young man made a mistake, but it is a rather serious offense. I would think a minimum of a couple game suspension should have been administered.

The other part to all of this is how the school reacts from the academic side. I am guessing this is as far as anything we will ever know and he won't miss any playing time or be suspended as a student.

[Bison_Pyro]

Sounds like he has been reinstated... wow.

Wanna see some real winners, look at the Mayville State University football team. They pick up some real lowlifes.
First time offense might keep a lifetime criminal playing sports for another year, or it might set a misguided young person on the right track. I hope it does the latter for Coprich.

He pled guilty to selling 9 grams.

He pled guilty to selling 9 grams.

So, a little over a quarter ounce. I've heard that back in the 90's that prolly would be about $40-50. Dunno about the market price today.

There seems to be some major price discrepancies in those submissions. Prolly because half the submissions are from cops and the other half are stoned.

Typically police departments will use the highest possible price to make their press release/conference numbers look better. There was a press release a while back about 500 counterfeit guitars that were being sold for $350 had been seized by some law enforcement agency. The release stated the value was one million dollars, as they were claiming the $2k retail price of the authentic guitars and that looks a lot better than stating the real value of $175k.

Gone are the days of coaches like Bohl who didn't need a court of law to determine whether nor not a player stayed on the team or not after drug dealing charges. Schultenover was gone, end of story. Of course, that was like 6-7 years ago, but drugs are drugs.

Well, that makes Illinois State the team to beat in the MVFC. (deepest purple font you got)

I am truly amazed by some of you hardliners out there. Weed has been part of the college campus scene since the 60's. I know some quality individuals who sold a LITTLE pot back in college to pay for snacks and beer money. That being said, Spack should suspend him for game or two. Being part of a team is a privilege and athletes should be held to higher standards.

[Bison Loaf]

Well now, that's the problem with pot, isn't it. You smoke a little weed and end up needing more munchies than you actually smoked in the first place (so I've heard :hungry:), so then you need to sell a little pot to get more money for MORE munchies needed than the last time you got "the damn munchies"……….and it keeps escalating from there until you are a full fledged dealer (but your "munchies" craving is never satisfied).

So you can see that pot really IS the gateway drug that they say it is………………….a gateway to a fat ass!! So, let Coprich play. His ass ought be slowing him down way more by now than any defense could hope to.

[semobison]

REBUILDING THE REDBIRDS By Kevin Capie
of the Journal Star
When he was hired, Brock Spack set the tone for the team from the very start. The Redbirds would be a tough football team that would not be out-worked. That has not changed in six years.
“Our core philosophy has stayed the same,” Spack says. “Be accountable on and off the field. Work ethic is who you are. And physical and mental toughness is your calling card. That’s how we rolled.” Spack is not afraid to hold players accountable. Shelby Harris was the hero of ISU’s 2012 playoff win by blocking an extra point in overtime at Appalachian State. He earned all-MVC honors as a junior. He was dismissed from the team the following March for conduct detrimental to the team.
“If a player can’t abide by team standards and team rules, he’s not bashful about getting rid of them,” Tiller says. “He has the attention of his players. They trust him and understand it’s the same for every guy on the roster. That is becoming a real issue in my mind in coaches today. Guys are getting paid a lot of money and then looking the other way on character issues. Brock doesn’t do that.”

Personally I do not think that Coprich is a "dangerous thug" but there appears to be a real double standard going on here. Since the suspension was lifted post haste I would be shocked of he did not play the entire season. Spack has kicked several people off of the team for drugs and other issues previously. If he does nothing now the message seems to be that if you are a superstar you get a pass and/or it is okay to sell drugs and there will be no team consequences. I wonder if coming within 38 seconds has made him determined to win no matter what.

[BisoninNWMN]

And in this case he did! Justice was served, he plead guilty and was sentenced! But that's not enough for some of you!! Lets kick him out of school and throw him in Jail for 3 years for selling 50 bucks worth of pot, because don't you know, he is a dangerous drug dealer!!


Geeez, get over yourself. Most are saying that Coach Spack needs to suspend him for some length of time to send a message that doing things like that are not acceptable to the team.

Well for my team the consequences are tougher, which I expect. There isn't quite the win at all costs mentality.

I agree I think Spack should suspend him for a game or two. The point I am trying to make is that for decades Pot use has been common place and a part of college life. It was very common at NDSU when I was there in the mid 80's and from what I know things haven't changed all that much. College kids buy a little weed and sell it to there college friends. Its going on in every campus in the country!

Which makes it OK and poor little Marshaun needed the money. Such a tough life he has. I'm sure no other athlete had to buckle down and follow the rules. Great learning experience for him. I bet he is laughing his ass off and probably all the way to his piggy bank. As CAS said, if the state task force was watching him he may be a little deeper into this than a poor little college kid selling a little weed. Is the IRS gonna go after him for tax evasion?

If there was a task force watching him they would have tried to get him to sell them a hell of a lot more more than the 9 grams he was busted with. The cops or DEA bust the small guys (and 9 grams is really small), then threaten them hoping they will cooperate and set up their supplier. 9 grams is nickel and diming for a little free weed or a couple of six packs. IRS, are you kidding me?

[westnodak93bison]

They should just let him keep dealing small amounts to get through college since its not a big deal. Its only fair since I'm sure he had some adversity in life and is now married. I wonder what his wife is doing for a living?

Guess you just dont get it. It makes no difference if pot is readily available on campus or not. There are does and donts for student athletes.. Then there are big does and donts and you don't venture there. Selling drugs is one of them regardless of the amount. He has now gone through the justice system BUT there is another court of opinion and that would be the coach and the team captains and the team. He needs to be suspended for at least 2 games IMO.

Yep. Sad to see many making excuses for kids these days. It may help them short term but spoils them in the long term. Not exactly a team building moment.

I thought you were ok with the way Coprich's legal issues were handled? According to drugwarfacts.org, in 2010 there were over 25,000 alcohol induced death in the US and that does not include the over 18,000 people who died from liver failure due to the chronic use of alcohol. The statistics on marijuana induced deaths were NA, that in the general population Marijuana use is NOT associated with increased mortality. Another interesting statistic is that the majority of overdoses in the US are caused from abuse of prescription drugs! ...Again I am all for suspending Coprich for a couple of games but where you get your info or ideas including the IRS thing is truly bizarre! As you told me...Get over yourself, or least get informed...Wow!

[NDSUstudent]

He was convicted of a misdemeanor what happened when 8 of ours were convicted of a misdemeanor??

Lets at least get this right....


According to The Pantagraph, as part of a plea agreement, Coprich admitted to selling nine grams of marijuana to a police informant and was placed on first offender probation. The plea allows his felony conviction to be dropped if he successfully completes the two years of probation, in addition to serving 30 hours of community service and paying a $170 fine.

Really. It would be interesting to see the inventory of goodies he has accumulated over the years and how he paid for them. I'll speculate nice clothes, car, probably some jewelry etc. I'm sure all paid for with hard earned after tax cash. He had to have drawn attention to himself for the task force to be on his ass. I get you think dope is harmless, maybe you want it legalized but it is not. Alcohol and cigarettes are legal and may kill more than mj but all lives matter.

Selling an illegal drug is really bad but let's face it, nobody dies from smoking weed unregulated or not. There is is no toxic level of TCH. I've seen people smoke insane amounts of weed and freak out but it's impossible to overdose from it unless your talking about the most unlikely scenerio that its laced, which really never happens since why would someone waste money lacing something that is good to begin with. Sorry OT. :)

But yes, selling illegal drugs is indeed very serious in the eyes of the law. Hell its tax evasion. Much more serious than some signatures.

the act of it being illegal makes it become more likely to be surrounded by criminal elements. Make weed legal and alcohol illegal and we would have the same results with alcohol. Except alcohol is toxic and weed is not.

That's why making anything illegal is dangerous. If I want some alcohol I go to a liquor store. If I want some weed I go to a drug dealer, who also sells hard drugs. That puts you in the illegal crime culture. Flip alcohol and weed in the above scenerio. ..

Selling drugs is tax evasion. . That's what it's really about. The same reason assisted suicide is illegal. Insurance money. It's all about money

[Bisonguy]

Yeah, and did you realize that the cartels are basically shitting themselves these days because of legalized weed? The profit is disappearing...aka the drug war is all bullshit and the DEA is the worst cartel of them all.

A lot of the cartels are already switching to "legal" prescription drugs. Larger profits and the DEA isn't looking for them as much.

My old babysitter and neighbor got busted back in the early 80's, probably ratted out the wrong guy and ended up dead of an "apparent" suicide. Criminal enterprises are bad, period. Enabling them with your selective law enforcement is not a good idea. Now if you want to argue about legalizing drugs like pot I'm probably with you.

I'll actually agree with this statement on the idea that legalizing something eliminates the drug cartels who are certainly dangerous

[Bison bison]

Great to hear so many of you have this figured out.

Please continue to share your wisdom. I plan to have a family meeting to let my kids know that marijuana is OK.

I'm very upset with the scientific and educational community for misinforming me for so long.

A guy gets busted for 50 bucks worth of weed and some people think he must have connections to Pablo Escobar! Reality is most of these guys selling a little weed on campus are doing it to get a little free weed. If they do make a little profit maybe they might go buy case or two of beer! People need to realize and accept that MJ is NOT in the same category as cocaine or heroin hence the recent push for legalization.

My eight and nine year old would school his ass on the dangers of drug use.

And he was probably smoking as well. I think NDSU has kicked players off the ream for that as well.

Bohl did kick Shultenvoer off the team for something similar, he sat a back up QB(Jackson?) for a few games as well for possession.

I don't know what Spack is doing, if just says he will sit a game or two this whole thing just dies.

I think the family of the kid caught selling pot in wahpeton might have a diffent take on all of our thoughts on this.
He was caught selling an amount that wasn't even close to being worth 50 bucks, much less his life.
I don't think they will ever get answers on this and I don't think the drug task force wants to.

I have not smoked up in over 20 years so I can't help your kids get started I just don't see this being the act of a worthless person as many of you insinuate it's the mistake of a 20 something year old kid I'm sure we could all be run through the mill for things we did in our 20's

I agree, and I am not sitting at the keyboard with a bong either. It has been 20 some years for me too. My memories of weed in college are mostly positive except for forgetting about my Trig test that one day.....

It's a bullshit stigma. Apparently it's socially acceptable to binge drink and get totally shit faced and puke all over yourself, beat your wife or get into bar fights but since a few movies stereotype weed users like Cheech and Chong or a burnout, it's so bad.

Me personally I encourage my kids to do neither but when they are 18 they can do whatever they like.

I am sensing a golden opportunity for the Bot to start a "How to Make Tailgating Brownies" thread!!! :nod:

Here's my take. Rules are rules, laws are laws. Follow them or pay the consequence. I'm so sick of society today expecting people/institutions to bend rules/laws for whatever reason they can come up with, mainly "do you know who I am". The courts found him to be guilty of something, therefore so should his university and team that he represents. You will never teach anybody anything by babying them. They will grow up entitled with no respect for anything.

obviously I am a big supporter of weed. But since it's a serious crime in some states, I would recommend not using it or carrying it in those states. If you want to smoke weed go across the river. It's basically a parking ticket in Minnesota

Now in a case where your selling it, it has to have a punishment despite my feelings on weed. Illinois isn't colorado or oregon.

[ndsubison1]

obvious off season thread is obvious

[A1pigskin]

Wonder if he was 30 seconds away from not getting caught

He will have many 30 second opportunities to think about it.

[Bison bison]

The 'full story' has been posted on redbirdforum.

The Illinois State Athletic Department intervened in the case. They basically said, "Hey. We undid a bunch of transactions we didn't like in December. Marshaun should be able to do the same"

The judge allowed them to meet halfway.

Marshaun got 20 grams of pot back, but had to give the agent $200.

Spackle agreed that this was good enough and that Marshaun is now back on the team.

It would be illegal to sell in those states without a license, as well.

It seems with that chart, being the offense was 9 grams, wouldn't it fall under the probation category?

[Bison bison]

That's what he plead guilty to...

[HerdBot]

actually... good point
so what' the crime for selling a small amount in those states without a license?

But if he was only charged with possession it's kind of different. Although they probably wouldn't have dropped the selling charge in those states either... although he probably wouldn't have sold in those states since it's not like the street demand is big

It's bad for your team and the locker room. We've seen it, it screws up the season.
Good for them. Carry on.

[CAS4127]

Seems a stretch that Coprich would run into a supplier in Illinois and enough mutual trust would develop in relatively short time he has been there.

Also, rarely is the first time one is caught selling their first time selling. I know this for fact from my work experience. And a task force sting the first time makes it even more rare.

But maybe he is just unlucky.

Just look at his stuff. Anyone with half a brain could figure out how long he was involved in his tax free enterprise and to what extent. Probably was one of the red flags attracting the task force.

CAS, wouldn't he have to spill the beans on his supplier to get a plea deal?

Controlled "buys" are not done willy-nilly nor without a plan and purpose/reason.

As for "cooperation", yes if federal charge, but not necessarily when state-level charge.

I'd guess in Illinois with their horrible prison overcrowding issues this was a gimme plea deal for afirst time offender

I am interested in how the academic side handles all of this. You would think it would open the door for a lot of other students to appeal decisions made in their situations including some possibly seeking different legal approaches.

In many cases, the standard of proof is also significantly different than criminal court as well. Instead of "beyond a reasonable doubt", it's "preponderance of evidence" or "more likely than not".

He might.

But the folks I know in the business (eg the infamous Nona Wood) don't take sh#t from anyone. there is also a general dislike of athletics across most university employees/departments.
