PEORIA, Ill. (AP) - Former NFL player and Fox Sports broadcaster Bill Maas was charged with drug possession and weapons charges following a roadside safety check.

The 45-year-old Maas and a passenger in his Hummer, Sarah J. Murphy, 27, were arrested late Friday by Illinois State Police. During the stop, police indicated Maas seemed nervous, and he agreed to a search of his vehicle.

Police found a .22-caliber revolver, 5 grams of suspected marijuana, 6 grams of suspected cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy. Maas and Murphy were charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of marijuana. Maas was also booked on a charge of unlawful use of a weapon.

"We didn't recognize him until about 5 p.m. this afternoon," Trooper Tony Halsey told the Journal Star of Peoria on Saturday.

Halsey said he had no idea why Maas and Murphy, both residents of Lee's Summit, Mo., were in the area.

They were taken to the Tazewell County Jail in Illinois and will appear for a bond hearing Sunday before a county circuit court judge.

Maas was drafted from the University of Pittsburgh by the Kansas City Chiefs in 1984, and was the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year. He was a two-time All-Pro selection. He played with the Chiefs until 1992 and joined the Green Bay Packers the following year.


Maas joined Fox in 1996. From 1998-01, he served as studio anchor and game analyst for NFL games. Last season he reported games for the network.



Does anyone even remember him playing for the Packers?? That was before Reggie, right?? :thumbsup:

It's safe to say that his career is over.

I DO remember him being here. But it was for a very short time.

HUMMER! what a great car.

Yeah..........guess we know how he could afford the Hummer.........selling drugs can make you rich.

yeah but for a HUMMER makes sense kind of.

NOOOOOooOoOOoOooOooooo GBP!!!
NO vehicle is worth getting involved in that kind of crap! With drugs you usually end up in prison or dead. Neither of which is worth "looking cool" for awhile cause you have a nice ride.

I really like Hummers ! :razz:

hmmm thats a pretty good point.

I was WONDERING how long it would take, and WHO would be the first to say that!!!(I SHOULD have known!!!) :rotflmao:

Yeah.....i think it is!!!
A "dirt nap" caused by some junkie that tried to rip you off isn't much fun.
Or having a cellmate named "Big Bubba" (and not because of his body size) who happens to like when you bend over to pick something up, would NOT be worth driving ANY kind of vehicle. Not even a Rolls Royce!

two threads wasted on a wasted person... good reads

does anybody know where i can find the mugshot of this worthless person?

No Maas
