Ex-Oklahoma Quarterback Testifies About Drug Sales

Former Oklahoma quarterback Charles Thompson testified Monday that he sold cocaine to an undercover FBI agent for a one-time teammate and a former member of the school’s track team.

Thompson, serving a two-year prison sentence after pleading guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute cocaine in April of 1989, testified during the trial of John Green, 25, a former teammate from Detroit, and Lamont Harris, 23, a Dallas resident who lettered in track from 1986 to 1988.

Green and Harris, each accused of supplying the cocaine that Thompson sold to an undercover agent in January of 1989, are charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and cocaine distribution. Harris also is charged with use of a telephone to facilitate a drug transaction.
