Yes, you read that right. Bath salts. Former University of Florida starting cornerback and current NFL draft prospect Loucheiz Purifoy was busted for possession of marijuana and bath salts over a month ago.
According to The Gainesville Sun, Purifoy was allowed an opportunity to act as a police informant. Unfortunately, he bailed out on that potential and an arrest warrant was later issued.
This report goes on to indicate that the warrant issues for his arrest has since been thrown away by officials in Florida…
A law enforcement source told The Sun that Purifoy, who has been projected to be an early-round selection in the NFL draft that begins May 8, was not arrested at the time because he agreed to cooperate as an informant for the Gainesville Alachua County Drug Task Force.
When Purifoy didn’t fulfill his end of the bargain, another arrest warrant was issued. That has since been thrown out.
In any event, possession of Bath Salts is no laughing matter. It’s an extreme red flag for the mid-round prospect and could eventually drop him completely out of the draft which takes place next month in New York City.
