Greg Hardy told police someone slipped cocaine in his wallet

Greg Hardy

Greg Hardy was arrested for possession of cocaine in Texas over the weekend, but the former Dallas Cowboys defensive end claims the drugs were not his.

According to a police report obtained by NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth, officers discovered 0.7 grams of cocaine in a wallet in Hardy’s car after a routine traffic stop. Hardy admitted the wallet was his, which makes sense because it probably had his ID and credits cards inside. However, he claimed he had no idea the little baggy was in there.

Hardy’s excuse? Someone must have slipped the coke in his wallet during a party.

He told the officer that he didn’t know what the substance was and said he believed he got it while he was at a party Saturday night, according to police. Hardy said he passed his wallet around at the party because he was paying for everybody, and he said that must have been when someone put the substance in his wallet.

We can file that one under “Worst Excuses We’ve Ever Heard for Drug Possession.”

Even if Hardy was being a nice guy and buying people stuff at the party, why on earth would he just let people pass his wallet around? He wouldn’t.

Hardy was given a second chance with the Cowboys last season, and he blew it both on and off the field. In addition to being a headache in the locker room, the details that emerged about his domestic violence case made the 28-year-old virtually unemployable. Now that he also has a drug arrest on his record, Hardy can probably kiss any future he may have had in the NFL goodbye.
