Attorney Says Bedford Has Been Subpoenaed in Suns Investigation

An attorney representing Phoenix Suns rookie William Bedford confirmed that Bedford has been subpoenaed in a grand jury investigation said to center around drug allegations involving members of the team.

Police have confirmed there is an investigation involving the Suns, but there has been no official confirmation as to the probe’s nature or whether a grand jury is involved, as has been reported. Under state law, grand jury activities are secret until complete.

It previously was reported that Bedford, who has declined to comment on the matter, had met with officials of the Maricopa County attorney’s office regarding a possible grand jury appearance.

Attorney Phillip Goldstein said it would be unethical for him to comment further regarding the matter. But he said of Bedford, “I feel he’s a good kid and I’m doing what I can to help him.”
