COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The prosecutor's office in Columbus says a former Ohio State football player previously caught up in the school's memorabilia scandal has been indicted on felony drug and weapons charges.

The Franklin County prosecutor said 26-year-old former Buckeyes receiver Ray Small was indicted this week on felony drug possession and trafficking charges that included firearms specifications. Records showed he was in jail Friday but not give attorney information.
Authorities said the grand jury indictments stemmed from an April search of Small's Columbus apartment that yielded heroin and oxycodone, as well as a semi-automatic handgun and assault rifle.
Small played at OSU from 2006 to 2009 was one of several players involved in a high-profile football memorabilia scandal. He also was indicted earlier this year on drug charges in Meigs County.
There is a familiar arc to this TOSU ex-player's story. NFL aspirations, early exit from TOSU under a cloud, then ... crime and the inevitable felony gun charges. I'm wondering if our recruits don't just get handed an AK as part of the scholie package. Luckily, U Meyer does not tolerate any criminial shenanigans. Had Ray Small had the benefit of Coach Meyer's in-home bible study he might not be headed to the Ohio house of detention. Mr. Small also had an incredibly obnoxious Dad who used to shit-slam TOSU and Jim Tressel in the press because Ray was always getting suspended and spending time in the Tressel dog-pound. Kid could return a punt though. I think he was from Cleveland-Glenville HS which is where a lot of big time Buckeyes hail from. Teddy Ginn, Jr, Troy Smith, Donte Whitner I think. Go BUCKS. GO FELONIOUS CRIMES!
