Patriots defensive back Andrews pleads to drug offense
May 9, 2008

LOWELL, Mass. (AP) -- New England Patriots defensive back Willie Andrews entered a plea to a marijuana possession charge, but won't face any prison time.

The 24-year-old Andrews admitted in court Friday there was enough evidence to convict him at trial, but did not plead guilty.

Lowell District Court Judge Neil Walker continued the case without a finding for a year. During that time, Andrews must speak to student athletes about the dangers of narcotics, pay a $1,000 fine and complete an NFL substance abuse program.

Andrews was arrested in February after police pulled him over in Lowell. Prosecutors said he had $6,800 in cash on him, a half pound of marijuana and no means to smoke the marijuana.

Andrews' attorney, Sean Delaney, declined comment on the plea.

Patriots spokesman Stacey James had no comment.
I suppose that's a plea of no contest. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Slater was probably going to take his place anyways... now it just makes it easier for him

I believe it's called sufficient facts for a finding of guilty. I'm not sure if there's a difference or it's just verbiage.

And boy, is his ass lucky.

Slater may make the team, he is on the bubble but I doubt he takes Andrews spot. Andrews was a key on special teams coverage, a backup at FS and even took a few snaps at CB, pretty versatile and a good player to have on the roster (and a great guy to party with!).

HALF pound of marijuana?? Good lord, was he planning to smoke that all by himself? Maybe he has some friends who smoke too... but they better not be on the Pats! Sheesh, you're a pro now get a grip man!

Looks like Walsh wasn't the only guy to get hooked up with a top flight attorney.

Likely this indicates the Pats both value Andrews and think he can learn from his mistakes. Otherwise he'd have been long gone by now.

MLR - agreed totally - so he likes some weed, big deal. Lets get him in there for the Super Bowl run!

Sounds like you just described Matt Slater.
