Last season, UL-Lafayette's Devon Lewis-Buchanan (#31) was chasing wide receivers, now he is being chased by the cops
Four Ragin’ Cajuns were arrested earlier this week for the cultivation of marijuana on their apartment balcony, which happens to be a felony in Louisiana. According to a report, an anonymous tip from a resident in the players’ apartment complex led to the raid. Redshirt QB Blaine Gautier, redshirt CB Rodney Gillis, strong safety Devon Lewis-Buchanan, and safety Chris Richard have all been arrested and suspended from the program for their quest to grow ganja.
Both sides of the ball are affected by this incident. Lewis-Buchanan was a junior who was going to move to LB, Gillis played CB, Richard played safety, and Gautier was a back-up quarterback who redshirted his freshman year. Aside from Richard, the other three horticulturists were released on $20,000 bond.
For you JD wannabes, the Louisiana law for cultivation of weed with the intent to distribute less than 60 pounds of marijuana includes 5 to 30 years in prison and/or a $50,000 fine. For 60 pounds to 2,000 pounds there is an additional fine of $50,000 to $100,000.
Basically, these four souls are in bad shape. It’s pretty safe to say, none of these four players will be playing college ball for the University of Louisiana-Lafayette anytime soon. Ironically, April 20th, the day of their arrest, was National Pot Smokers Day.
