Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jerome Simpson (left) is now the target of a massive drug investigation — after police confiscated a mind-blowing 8.5 POUNDS of marijuana from his Kentucky home.
To put this in perspective — casual pot smokers typically purchase by the gram … and there are over 453 grams in a pound.
According to reports, cops searched Simpson’s home after snagging a package that was shipped to his house — containing 2.5 pounds of Mary Jane — and then found another 6 pounds of weed, packaging materials, scales, and smoking devices.
A rep for the National Marijuana Initiative — which coordinates marijuana enforcement operations around the country — believes the house was set up as a “potential distribution network.”
Bengals tackle Anthony Collins (right) was also present when police raided the home — and he’s being investigated as well. Police detained the two players during the search, but neither was arrested.
