NFL Snitch

New England Patriots offensive lineman Nick Kaczur was arrested in April for illegal possession of oxycodone (Oxycontin) and rather than take the rap Kaczur wore a wire and flipped on his supplier.
A DEA agent said a cooperating witness -- whose name was not revealed -- wore a recording device during three drug buys in May. In each of the deals, the witness bought 100 OxyContin pills from Daniel Ekasala for $3,900 in cash.
Ekasala's lawyer says the cooperating witness was Nick Kaczur.
Kaczur told investigators he had been purchasing hundreds of oxycodone pills from the man since November 2007.
Kaczur denied taking part in a federal investigation or buying drugs and said he was not familiar with Ekasala.
"I don't know what you're talking about, bro," Kaczur said on the front porch of his Attleboro, Mass., home. "I don't know where this is coming from. I don't know what you are talking about."
New York State Police said Kaczur was charged with criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a misdemeanor, following an April 27 traffic stop on the New York State Thruway.
Kaczur had been pulled over for speeding in Whitestown, N.Y., when police discovered a "small amount of controlled substance for which he did not have a prescription," a substance identified as oxycodone.
Ekasala's lawyer said he has also been asked by federal agents to cooperate, but has repeatedly refused. He said Ekasala was "an extremely reluctant participant and was somewhat enamored of being friendly with or having contact with a professional athlete."
"My client was always sympathetic to Mr. Kaczur and suggested to him many times, as the text messages will show, that Kaczur ought not to be doing what he was doing. Professional athletes in this country are treated like royalty, and royalty sometimes abuses the people they come in contact with, and I think that's what happened to Ekasala."

I don't know exactly what happened here but it sure seems like he used his status as an NFL player to find a patsy to get him drugs. And then when the heat came (because of his own stupidity) he sold out his buddy. I'm not pitying a drug dealer but it sounds like this is a problem mostly of Kaczur's making but that Ekasala is going to get most of the punishment.
