ON THE SIDELINES : Drug Trial for Mack Set Sept. 18
A Sept. 18 trial date has been set for the cocaine trafficking case of Cleveland Browns running back Kevin Mack, his defense attorney, Gerald Golden, said today.
Mack, 26, was arrested June 28 in his car at a Cleveland street corner. He was indicted by a Cuyahoga County grand jury July 10 on one felony count each of cocaine possession, cocaine trafficking, possession of criminal tools and using a motor vehicle for drug abuse. If convicted on all counts, Mack could face up to 20 years in prison. He remains free on $2,500 bond.
Mack recently finished a monthlong drug rehabilitation program at the Cleveland Clinic and traveled with the Browns to London for an exhibition game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Aug. 6. He did not play.
Golden has said he is uncertain whether Mack would face sanctions from the NFL or the Browns because of his arrest.
