Posted June 10, 201312 yr comment_3745 Kirk Penton @PentonKirk4m #Bombers say they're still gathering information, so they won't comment on Hefney's charge. Kirk Penton @PentonKirk7m According to the Herald Online, Hefney has a court date on June 19 in Rock Hill, S.C. #Bombers Kirk Penton @PentonKirk8m #Bombers DB Jonathan Hefney charged with marijuana possession in S.C. the day before he reported to training camp: report.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3746 just possession (not possession with intent...)... this likely won't be a big deal, right? he was just having a last puff before the season started...
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3749 Here's the story: Hefney, 28, and another passenger were pulled over by Rock Hill police at 1:20 a.m. after being observed traveling 47 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer smelled marijuana when Hefney rolled down the window of his white Ford F-150, the report said. The officer searched both occupants and didn’t find marijuana, but a search of the truck discovered 6.2 grams of marijuana in the center console. Hefney, who has played for the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers the last four years, was issued a ticket for first offense marijuana possession. His court date will be June 19 at 1 p.m., according to a court official.

So of course this is going to blow up like crazy.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3750 Hit the road Hefney! No wonder he stunk it up so badly last year.This coming from smokin blue?
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3751 If you are naive enough to believe that is not a widespread issue in society let alone the CFL then have another toke .why do you think the CFLPA would not agree to texting for "recreational drugs". JH issue will now become is admissibility back into Canada if conflicted of a criminal offence, potential terms of parole and the quantity of the drugs.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3753 (sorry to disappoint, I like smoking foods) You don't ignore something just because it's widespread, it will get better darn fast if we stop ignoring it.

JH issue will now become is admissibility back into Canada if conflicted of a criminal offence, potential terms of parole and the quantity of the drugs. It's pretty widespread here in BC that's for sure. Unbelievable how many losers people here in Kelowna get high all the time. Maybe Hefney should be traded to the Lions, and then he can get on the BC bud. At any rate, this isn't much of a surprise. I'd be shocked if the entire DB corp wasn't getting lit on a regular basis.
June 10, 201312 yr comment_3755 I certainly don't suggest you ignore this. It will be critical how the Club deals with this. This is perceived as another example of potential discipline issues. At some point a harder line has to be demonstrated and an example made. This after the judicial process is allowed to take its course and he does remain innocent until proven otherwise.
June 10, 201312 yr Author comment_3756 Joe Pascucci @Pascucci01516s In 1980 kicker Bernie Ruoff was convicted of marijuana possession. Blue Bombers didn't want Ruoff back and were going to trade him..... Joe Pascucci @Pascucci0159s Ruoff retired instead - only to come out of retirement a few months later and would end up with the Tiger-Cats...... So if it wasn't for marijuana, we'd never have hired Bob Cameron.
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3757 So if it wasn't for marijuana, we'd never have hired Bob Cameron. that should be somebody's signature...
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3760 This is exactly the least surprising news I have read on the internet today.
June 11, 201312 yr Author comment_3762 yeah Burke sounds pretty disappointed. The biggest thing to me is that Hefney didn't disclose this arrest to the team. Did he honestly think that the Bombers wouldn't find out?
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3763 yeah Burke sounds pretty disappointed. The biggest thing to me is that Hefney didn't disclose this arrest to the team. Did he honestly think that the Bombers wouldn't find out? And Burke and Mack did threaten the party guys. And the DB's. What message does it send if they don't do anything now?
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3765 meh. possession of pot is a fine here.. and in most states I believe.. hef grew up in a culture that glorified it.. not to mention its pretty popular here as well.. its legal in a bunch of states already and wil probably be here soon as well.. if he was cut/traded cuz of this, I would be disappointed..
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3767 yeah Burke sounds pretty disappointed. The biggest thing to me is that Hefney didn't disclose this arrest to the team. Did he honestly think that the Bombers wouldn't find out? that, is a bad thing yes.. Id be rid of Hefney for that before the actual weed incident.. gotta be upfront and honest.
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3768 Fly high, Bombers. pft. I bet you cant count on both hands how many ticats blaze as well..
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3769 Not disclosing the information is the most disappointing thing. Couldn't care less if they cut him...
June 11, 201312 yr comment_3770 pft. I bet you cant count on both hands how many ticats blaze as well.. Rampant in the league from what I gather. But getting busted and have it go public isnt - there's the rub.
