Oregon Ducks

Oregon Ducks

Former Oregon Duck and current New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung got a charge of cocaine possession conditionally dismissed Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois announced Monday.

The conditions of the dismissal require Chung to have good behavior for two years, submit himself to periodic drug testing for two years, perform 40 hours of community service and waive his right to a speedy trial. 

Chung's lack of a criminal record nor prior involvement in the criminal justice system and his full cooperation throughout the ordeal helped the court agree to this resolution. Plus, the amount of drugs was small. 

It's unclear if the former Duck will see repercussions from the league for the charge. 

Chung played at the University of Oregon from 2004-2008 where he started 51 consecutive games. As a junior, he was named second-team All-American and first-team all Pac-10. The New England Patriots selected Chung in the second round of the 2009 NFL Draft (34th overall) where he'd become a three-time Super Bowl Champion. 

Despite the drug charge, Chung played the 2019 season for New England and finished with 52 tackles and three passes defended.
