Remember when Cleveland Indians nearer Chris Perez had a bundle of pot mailed to his home
in June, addressed to the household dog? Then the authorities sniffed it out (actually), did a sting on the Perez home and arrested the pitcher and his wife? Seems the consequences for Perez might be little greater than a slap on the wrist to go together with his lifetime membership within the dumb baseball criminals corridor of fame. It ain’t Cooperstown.
Perez pleaded no contest to fourth-diploma misdemeanor possession expenses on Tuesday, altering his previous plea of “not responsible.” While technically not an act of contrition, Perez’s no-contest declaration is actually throwing up his palms and submitting to the fees in opposition to him.
Having that six-ounce bag of marijuana delivered to his house will not trigger Perez — who’s making $7.3 million this season — to pay a $250 advantageous, walk of the line of probation for a 12 months and full Major League Baseball’s drug-therapy program. He’ll also give a 20-minute talk about the risks of drugs to the kids at Rocky River Excessive College, which is close to his residence in Rocky River, Ohio (outdoors Cleveland).
“Hi, kids, I am Chris Perez and I’ve realized one thing very important about medication. Don’t use them. And undoubtedly don’t mail marijuana to yourself in a bag that doesn’t lock-within the odor. Via this ordeal, I’ve picked up a few tips about what to do and never do if you want to send your self a bag of the persistent via the mail. I’ve an inventory of suggestions that.. oh, this isn’t the sort of lecture you guys wished?”
But critically, Choose Brian Hagan advised Perez:
“You are extremely regarded, children look as much as you,” Hagan stated. “But you made a giant mistake. I hope that by your efforts you may deter another person from making that very same mistake.”
Perez was on the disabled checklist on the time of his arrest and for those who break up his season at the time of his injury and arrest, he is doing significantly better within the aftermath. In his 28 video games since returning to the Indians on June 28, Perez has a 2.forty eight PERIOD and 15 saves in 29 innings. In his 17 appearances earlier than, he had a 4.32 ERA with six saves in 16 2/three innings.
Now we see if Perez can clear up his act off the sector like he seems to have done on it.
