TAMPA, Fla. -- A former Dallas Cowboys offensive lineman is accused of trying to sell marijuana to an undercover officer at a Tampa strip club.

Police say 32-year-old Torrin Tucker was arrested Tuesday night and charged with felony counts of cocaine possession with intent to sell, marijuana possession with intent to sell, delivery of marijuana and possession of a firearm during commission of a felony. He was released from jail Wednesday on $19,500 bail.

According to an arrest report, Tucker was working security at the Hollywood Nights strip club April 18 when he sold a $20 bag of marijuana to the undercover officer.

Tucker started 24 games for the Cowboys from 2003-05. He played last year for the United Football League's Sacramento Mountain Lions.

Jail records didn't list an attorney for Tucker.

I don't understand how you can go from making 400k a year (approx) to being a bouncer at a club and selling weed at the door.

I get that yeah, taxes and agents get their cut, etc. So it's not like he walked away with a clear 800k for those two years. But shit man... even if he ended up with only... only 200k in the bank when his career was over, how do you not parlay that, your NFL experience, and your college education into something more stable/steady than a bouncer and low-rent drug dealer?


Also, whatever happened to Sam Hurd?
