Maybe Santonio Holmes Likes Half Baked

Pittsburgh Steelers deep threat, Santonio Holmes, is in some alleged trouble after being pulled over and found with a couple of marijuana blunts, reports PFT. The reason Holmes was pulled over to begin with? His vehicle “fit a description” of one used in another crime.
Ah. The good ole “fit the description” ploy. If they don’t use it on you, they’ll use it on your vehicle, evidently. Nevertheless, Holmes cooperated and handed his stash over to the arresting officers. Brilliantly enough, Holmes didn’t have his driver’s license on him when he was stopped. It’s fairly obvious Holmes will be facing some kind of punishment from the league and may even be put into the NFL’s substance-abuse program.
Evidently, one member of Pittsburgh’s police department is a huge Steelers fan, as evidenced by Sgt James Vogel’s comments:
“We wouldn’t expect a steelworker to be laid off or suspended without pay [for marijuana possession],” said Vogel. “I wouldn’t expect a police officer, firefighter or a member of the Steelers.”
Vogel obviously thinks a Holmes suspension will hurt the Steelers and their passing game. Maybe Santonio should’ve thought of that before he was driving around the city with weed in his car.
