I'm Lynn Lumpkin CRWENewswire Sports Commentator. This is the the Sports Corner.

Sam Hurd, a Chicago Bears wide receiver, was arrested on federal drug charges for trying to purchase large quantities of cocaine and marijuana for distribution. On Wednesday night in Chicago, 26 year old Hurd was arrested after meeting with an undercover federal agent and a confidential informant.

Hurd is accused of trying to buy up to 10 kilograms of cocaine and a half-ton of marijuana on a weekly basis to sell as well as allegedly seeking to buy the drugs through a co-conspirator who had been negotiating the deal with the confidential informant since late July.

Wednesday night at a Chicago restaurant, Hurd left the restaurant with one kilogram of cocaine and was arrested. The criminal complaint alleges that Hurd offered to pay $25,000 per kilogram of cocaine and $450 per pound of marijuana. Hurd is being held in custody and is scheduled to appear in court for a hearing on his transfer to Dallas, where the charges were filed.
