Hurd arraignement set for next week

Former NFL wide receiver and San Antonio Brackenridge graduate Sam Hurd will be arraigned on federal drug charge on Jan. 25 at the U.S. Courthouse in Dallas, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office Northern District of Texas. Hurd will appear before Judge Jorge A. Solis. Hurd, who played for the Dallas Cowboys from 2006 until he signed with the Chicago Bears last summer in free agency, was indicted on Jan. 4 in Dallas on federal drug conspiracy and possession charges. Hurd and co-defendant Toby Lujuan are accused of trying to set up a drug-dealing network. The indictment accuses Hurd of cocaine possession and conspiracy to possess cocaine. Hurd is free on $100,000 bond after being arrested in December during a sting operation in Chicago. He could face up to 10 years in prison.
