As the New England Patriots are preparing for the start of the regular season, one of their team leaders appears to be headed towards some legal trouble: as first reported by CLNS’ Alex Barth and later confirmed by the Boston Herald’s Kevin Duffy, safety Patrick Chung has been indicted on a charge of cocaine possession in New Hampshire. The indictment, as confirmed by the Belknap County attorney’s office was reportedly presented on August 8.
Chung is coming off another productive season as the team’s strong safety. Earlier this offseason, he and the team also agreed to a new contract that added an additional year to the defender’s existing deal.
