IOWA STATE PATROL CITES ADAM ROBINSON FOR POSSESSION OF MARIJUANA

Des Moines, IOWA --- On December 27, 2010, at approximately 10:45 p.m., a Trooper with the Iowa State Patrol stopped a vehicle for no front plate on East 4th Street, south of Des Moines Street in Des Moines.

The driver was identified as Ermin Zornic, age 20, and the passenger as Adam Robinson, age 21. During his initial approach to the vehicle, the Trooper detected a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. A probable cause search of the vehicle was conducted and marijuana was found inside the vehicle.

Zornic, the driver, was charged with Possession With Intent to Deliver Marijuana and OWI charges are pending toxicology tests. He was incarcerated in the Polk County Jail.

Mr. Robinson was cited for possession of marijuana and released on his own recognizance with a promise to appear in court on January 5, 2011, at 1:00 p.m.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

This team's troubles are growing like weeds.

 

[rdubbs]

And another one bites the dust

 

[ThunderHawk]

All of the sudden I feel compelled to listen to some Green Day...

 

[silvanthalas]

Damn rumor mongers!

 

[tweeterhawk]

This season is going up in smoke.

Courtney Green, the Spokesperson for the Iowa Department of Public Safety has confirmed to 1040 WHO that Adam Robinson was arrested on marijuana related charges last night.

Betting he is off the team now.

 

[trapperjon]

What's it going to take to get the message??

2 weeks separated from DJK and Adam has no clue.

Throw it all away. It's absurd.

 

[HawkPrdatr40]

Yes. He is gone.

 

[VivalosHawks]

I'm very dissapointed with the choices these kids are making.

 

[ThunderHawk]

This season is going up in smoke.

Oh, I'd say its been smoking for quite some time.

 

[Zoraks]

wow...absolutely pathetic

 

[Maroons19]

To correct Mr. Barta's quote from the presser, apparently that's anywhere from 2 to 21 players that may have been cheating the drug testing policy.

 

[JonDMiller]

I dont think there is any doubt that Robinson's Iowa playing days are done.

 

[CRHawk2002]

He clearly doesnt get it. There are so many things wrong with this, primarily as a teammate after the season the Hawks have had. Time to move on. I am ready for Coker/Coe/McCall/Deandre.

 

[tm3308]

This is just ridiculous. My two favorite players both go and get arrested, and almost certainly both will have been kicked off the team. What a year.

 

[tweeterhawk]

Makes you even more curious now about what it was that caused the staff to leave A-Rob out of the bowl game. Another tantalizing aspect of this is that if he had been with the team in Tempe, this arrest wouldn't have happened. Or at least in Iowa.

That's all on Adam.

 

[VivalosHawks]

Here is Arobs partner in crime. You can see it at polk county inmates on the web.

To correct Mr. Barta's quote from the presser, apparently that's anywhere from 2 to 21 players that may have been cheating the drug testing policy.

I'm sure he's never dealt, either.

 

[ugk]

Well if Adam didn't know the rule and was doing this for his family like some Buckeye players, he may just get a slap on the wrist.
