New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung was reportedly indicted on a charge of cocaine possession in New Hampshire.
According to the Laconia Daily, he was indicted by a Belknap County jury on Aug. 8 for an incident that took place on June 25 in Meredith, where Chung has a home.
Chung “did possess or have under his control a quantity of the controlled substance cocaine,” according to the indictment.
The Patriots issued a statement saying they would not comment on the matter during the judicial process.
The article posted by the newspaper Wednesday night said Meredith police did not arrest Chung during that encounter.
Chung, who turned 32 on Monday, is scheduled to be arraigned at Laconia District Court on Wednesday.
Chung was not at practice Wednesday and did not appear in the first two preseason games. In April, he signed a one-year extension through the 2021 season.
A second-round draft pick in 2009, Chung has spent nine of his 10 NFL seasons with the Patriots. He was with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. The three-time Super Bowl champion has 11 interceptions and 723 tackles in 140 career games (110 starts).
