Yonus Davis detained, reportedly with 67 pounds of ecstasy (http://ca.sports.yahoo.com/cfl/blog/cfl_experts/post/Yonus-Davis-detained-reportedly-with-67-pounds-?urn=cfl-346649)

B.C. Lions running back Yonus Davis during a team practice at the team’s facility in Surrey in October 2010.
The B.C. Lions released a very vague and terse statement Wednesday afternoon (http://communities.canada.com/theprovince/blogs/fifthquarter/archive/2011/04/20/lions-statement-on-yonus-davis.aspx) saying that running back Yonus Davis had been "detained" in California, the club was aware of the incident and would be investigating. That left plenty of CFL observers sitting around and waiting for the other shoe to drop, as there was very little information anywhere on anything Davis had been involved with. The Vancouver Sun's excellent Lions' reporter, Mike Beamish (http://twitter.com/#%21/sixbeamers), somehow managed to track (http://twitter.com/#%21/BrownieScott/status/60854262518923266) down the details, though, and Sun sports editor Scott Brown tweeted them (http://twitter.com/#%21/BrownieScott/status/60884067226361857) this evening. They're pretty staggering.
According to Brown, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents say Davis (seen above returning a punt against Saskatchewan last Halloween) was in possession of 67 pounds of ecstasy (http://twitter.com/#%21/BrownieScott/status/60884067226361857). That adds up to around 40,000 tablets, so this is not some minor recreational drug usage. Brown added that Davis could face up to a $1 million fine and/or 20 years in prison (http://twitter.com/#%21/BrownieScott/status/60884783890313216), which fits under the DEA's penalties (http://www.justice.gov/dea/agency/penalties.htm) for a first-time offender found guilty of trafficking "other Schedule I & II drugs."
