Nick Kaczur: Undercover Agent
First, the bad news… Former UT Grad and Patriots O-Lineman Nick Kaczur is apparently an OxyContin fiend.
Nick was busted in April by the DEA for illegal possession of Oxy and was soundly punished… by keeping it quiet. How? That’s the good news: he turned double agent:
Kaczur - a 28-year-old, 315-pound offensive tackle - wore a hidden recording device during three different drug transactions in May at gas stations in Foxborough and North Attleborough and a supermarket parking lot in Sharon, according to the lawyer, the two people, and federal court documents. At each of the three transactions, Kaczur paid $3,900 in cash to buy 100 OxyContin pills, a potent prescription pain reliever.
Federal agents arrested the alleged dealer, Daniel Ekasala, moments after the third transaction with Kaczur, said Ekasala’s lawyer. He was indicted by a federal grand jury yesterday on three counts of possession of oxycodone (the main ingredient in the prescription drug OxyContin) with intent to distribute. He is due to be arraigned today in federal court.
Not a bad deal when you can get it, eh Nick? Now all this aside, who’s ready for some hardcore lawyerin’? Ekasala’s counsel, your honor:
“My client was always sympathetic to Mr. Kaczur and suggested to him many times, as the text messages will show, that Kaczur ought not to be doing what he was doing,” Grossberg said. “Professional athletes in this country are treated like royalty, and royalty sometimes abuses the people they come in contact with, and I think that’s what happened to Ekasala.”
That’s right… the drug dealer told Nick that he shouldn’t be forking over $4,000 for the illegal prescriptions he was selling, but that mean old football player forced him to sell. How dare he! You know, we wouldn’t have a problem with drug dealers in this country if people would just stop buying them.
