GET OFF MY LAWN lol

It Is strange. Why are there always distractions?. Jeez, I hate social media. Sharks circling.

Agreed. Sigh.

You're apparently new. I'm just telling you the procedure for this stuff. If you don't like it, take it up with the mods, or the siteowner.

Seems like this got leaked on the "right" day...ESPN is busy with all the relocation stuff. Could this be the one time we actually fly under the radar?

Was just thinking the Pats are pretty lucky this came out today.

Also for the person who said the Police Chief has some explaining to do I ask you why? We're not medical experts and we call for medical personnel. Went to a heroin OD today of a white female, I stood the F out of the way why medical people did their thing. I called dispatch and said its a medical call and they will be transporting.

I was that "person".

And you obviously didn't read the referenced article:

".....Foxboro Police Chief Edward O’Leary initially told the Herald that his department didn’t have any interaction with Jones over the weekend, but the Herald found dispatch records that showed otherwise.

O’Leary said the department doesn’t fill out paperwork for medical calls “unless a person’s dead,” the Herald reports. He said he didn’t misspeak when he first talked to the newspaper, saying he doesn’t consider it a police-specific call.

He told the newspaper he wasn’t sure why the officer went to Jones’ home.

“I have no idea,” said O’Leary. “I didn’t talk to the officer. I don’t know whether there was no one else at the home or whether he was asked. I don’t know.”

No, they said he had a history of previous Class D usage.

Probably they caught him with weed in the past and let him off the hook.

This, in conjunction with the Ambien possibility, seems very plausible.

 

[Ross12]

Still a lot of assumptions made... The only reference to "class D" was made by the officer at his house, for all we know he may have just seen some while he was there, or as some have said above me he may have been mentioning he's had an issue with it in the past just from his own knowledge. That's assuming that we know what they mean by "class D" in this instance. There's still really nothing to make a reasonable conclusion that Jones was on any illegal drugs or did anything illegal at all.

Wtf is "all jammed up"? Maybe I am naive.

Jams are a street name for percocette. I'm not sure if Merolini means he was just "messed up" or if he was high on percs.

.......... forum is back to doing the duplicates again ... WTF.

If anyone Remembers phenobarbitol is a pain med that Michael Jackson overdosed and died on.

I thought it was propofol,

Interesting.

I had a Percocet habit for years back in the 90s, and have never heard this term.

I'm also in the criminal justice/psych (human services fields), and have never come across this term before.

 

[supafly]

It was propofol. You're right.

And phenobarbital is hardly considered a "pain med," it's a barbiturate which is primarily used to treat and prevent seizures.

Don't know who this guy is but I'm choosing to believe him :

Two #Patriots source tell me despite DE C. Jones being in the hospital over the weekend, that he is not in danger of missing gm vs. #Chiefs.

 

[rochrist]

It looks like its just weed. Which begs the question, how did he have a psychotic freakout from just weed? Must have been some really bad stuff.

The thing is, that was the officer who went to his house who said that. So it could be that he saw some pot there. It doesn't necessarily mean that the pot was the cause (or the only cause) for the issue.

Urban dictionary agrees. Seems likely this is what Merloni was getting at. I hope Jones doesn't have a painkiller addiction. That's bad.

Urban Dictionary: jammed

Interesting indeed. Although I'm sure these slang names come and go with generations. 30 millegram percocettes, aka perc 30s have been a huge epidemic in MA for about 8 years now. Lost alot of friends to the stuff. Hopefully it's anything but that. Again, who knows if Merolini is even aware that a "Jam" is slang for a perc.

 

[rochrist]

Iam just wondering what is the league reaction to this? Tests, put in drug program ,fines or do they make him miss this game?

When it isn't a test, they typically wait for it to be adjudicated by the law. Of course, it IS the Pats.

Going through his tweets, he also says to take the D&C report "with a very smart grain of salt". Tomorrow should bring some clarity, but I am encouraged.
