Kush Chronicles: Prosecutors Want Alleged Child Abusin’ Baller Adrian Peterson Arrested For Puffin’ Piff While On Bond

“You HAVE to stay OFF the weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-duh !” -Stephen A. Smith Prosecutors Want Adrian Peterson Arrested For Smoking Pot On Bond According to TMZ reports : Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Texas, have filed paperwork to have Adrian Peterson’s bail revoked and the Minnesota Vikings running back re-arrested after he told a drug tester that he had recently smoked marijuana before taking a urinalysis test Wednesday. According to the filing signed by Bill Delmore, the Assistant District Attorney for the state of Texas, Peterson admitted to the worker that he had “smoked a little weed” before the test. Not taking any illegal drugs are common terms to adhere to when out on bond. “In light of this statement, and the fact that it was made during the urinalysis testing process, and the term ‘weed’ is a common slang term for marijuana, the state argues that the defendant has smoked marijuana while on bond,” the district attorney’s office wrote. Peterson has been free on $15,000 bond on a charge of felony child abuse. A trial has tentatively been set to begin Dec. 1. There cannot be any action on the bond revocation or any arrest warrant issued before a hearing is held on whether the judge hearing Peterson’s case should be recused. No hearing has been scheduled and likely won’t happen until next week at the earliest. You would think someone who is facing prison time and the loss of tens of millions of dollars would be livin’ as legal as possible… Image via WENN Continue reading

Slipknot Bassist Paul Gray’s Death Still Under Investigation: Police

Medical examiner is awaiting results of toxicology testing, which could take four to six weeks. By MTV News staff Slipknot’s Paul Gray Photo: Barry Brecheisen/WireImage An autopsy of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, who was found dead in a hotel room on Monday, has revealed no cause of death, police in Urbandale, Illinois, told the Des Moines Register on Tuesday (May 25). The cause of death is still under investigation, and the Polk County Medical Examiner is awaiting the results of toxicology testing, the paper reported. Dr. Gregory Schmunk said it could be four to six weeks before the test results are complete and the cause of death can be determined, according to police. According to the paper, the autopsy did indicate that the body showed no evidence of foul play or trauma, and that Gray had been dead for several hours before his body was discovered. Gray, 38, was better known as #2 or “The Pig” because of the mask he wore while performing with Slipknot, and helped form the group in 1995, along with current members Shawn “Clown” Crahan and Joey Jordison. Though the band’s lineup shifted over the years — with members departing or switching instruments — Gray’s position within the group remained constant: He was the only bass player Slipknot ever had. In the hours since his death, tributes to Gray have poured in from fans and fellow musicians alike. Megadeth bassist David Ellefson , whom Gray was to replace in the supergroup/ cover band Hail!, said in a statement: “I was very shocked and saddened to hear of Paul Gray’s passing. I considered him an incredible songwriter, inventive bassist, but more importantly, a kind and warm friend. As a fellow musician, I was excited that he would be playing in Hail! this coming month, as I knew it would be a fun experience for him. I’m sad that the European audiences will not get to see him play those shows.” Share your memories of Paul Gray and Slipknot in the comments below.
