Dealer denies selling to Buckhalter, Police have wiretaps

The-wire_medium

Awesome named drug dealer Styles M Beckles has now denied to seling marijuana to former Eagle Correll Buckhalter, but he did admit to knowing Buckhalter

Styles N. Beckles, 36, of Clifton Heights, testified that he had told police, "Yes, I know them, but I don't sell them any drugs." He is charged with drug possession and intent to deliver drugs.

I know... don't laugh too hard. I'm sure they were "just friends..." Not to doubt Mr Beckles, but the cops have transactions between the two on tape.

Beckles was arrested in April in connection with a two-year investigation into a violent drug ring operating in Chester, a probe that resulted in the federal indictment of 34 people.

Beckles denied that the marijuana and drug paraphernalia found in his home and car were his.

Trooper Scott John Miscannon testified yesterday that he had been listening to wiretapped conversations on Beckles' cell phone when Buckhalter called.

Miscannon also said the "CoR" that had been written on an "owe sheet," or ledger, found in Beckles' home stood for Buckhalter.

Deputy District Attorney Katayoun M. Copeland asked Miscannon if he was able to conclude what relationship Buckhalter had with the defendant.

"That Styles Beckles was supplying Correll Buckhalter with quantities of marijuana," Miscannon said.

Buckhalter has not been charged in the case and so far there doesn't seem to be any indication that he will be. Still, with the feds being involved you never what could happen. He may end up being called to testify. Plus, this is no longer just hearsay evidence... the cops have proof Buck was a customer. While he probably won't be in trouble with the law, the likelihood of him getting in trouble with Goodell just went way up.

+1 for The Wire mention

best show on television while it was still running. too bad the series ended.

as far as the story goes, it’s a shame for Buckhalter. Yeah it’s stupid and irresponsible for a professional football player to get involved with this type of stuff, but from the looks of it he was just smoking the ganj, something that is relatively harmless and is practiced by a large portion of the population, both athletes and everyone else. now he’s going to get lumped into the same category as Pacman Jones and company.

oh well. not our problem anymore.

what a mess for the broncos...

a few weeks ago, things were looking up for the broncos after all the free agent signings. now they have this to deal with along with the cutler fiasco. i wonder if brian dawkins is regreting his decision yet.

Dawkins isn't regretting a thing

He’ll still get his pay check.

This might have an effect on Buckhalter’s chances of getting a starting job for the Broncos. It’s a shame because I really liked Buck. I don’t think anyone is a criminal for smoking a little pot, but I do feel like he’s an idiot for jeopardizing his career over it.

E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!

Yeah. Fact is that Dawkins went to Denver because they offered him the most money. None of this changes that.

No Big Deal

I don’t think the NFL can do anything if the police don’t. As long as he passes his drug test. I hope nothing happens to him, he works harder than most, just shows weed doesn’t necessarily make a person lazy.

Weed is supposedly popular among NFL players because it’s an anti-inflammatory and a pain-killer. I imagine a running back with two bad knees would need a lot of both. Now I wish I’d asked Runyan to smoke a bowl that time I interviewed him at his house.

dude...

stop. 99% of people who smoke weed do it for recreational purposes and not medicinal. he bought weed because he wanted to get stoned and he got busted for it. end of story.

Plus he only ran the ball like 5 times a game.

it’s always been my belief that if the Government could find a way to regulate weed and make money off of it like Cigarettes and Alcohol it would be legal.
