Irvin takes stand at grand jury
Three other
people who were
in the motel
room with Irvin
also testified.
DALLAS (AP) — Dallas Cow
boys star Michael Irvin and
three others who were in a motel
room where police found cocaine,
marijuana and drug parapher
nalia appeared before a grand
jury Tuesday in answer to sub
poenas.
Irvin, former Cowboys tight
end Alfredo Roberts, Angela
Beck and Jasmine Nabwangu
were tight-lipped about the be
hind-closed-door ‘proceedings
with the panel investigating the
events that led to Beck’s arrest
on drug charges.
The All-Pro wide receiver —
wearing dark glasses, a dark
blue suit and a black mink coat
— signed an autograph for one
courthouse visitor, but refused to
discuss the day’s events with re
porters.
“Why do I have to tell you
guys anything?” Irvin asked as
he boarded an elevator at the
Frank Crowley Criminal Courts
building.
Attorneys also had little to
say.
“We can’t comment on any
thing that occurred today,” Irv
in’s attorney, Kevin Clancy, said
as he left the courthouse with
his client as grand jurors re
cessed for lunch. “I can’t discuss
anything right now.”
Irvin and his attorney met
with prosecutors Monday but de
clined comment, citing a gag or
der issued by state District
Judge John Creuzot.
The judge, who issued the
five-page decree, said Tuesday
he was concerned about the
amount of attention the high-
profile case has received.
“It’s obvious that there’s

been a lot of pretrial publicity
surrounding all these grand
jury proceedings. To be per
fectly honest, I’ve seen so
much in the media that is fac
tually not true,” Creuzot said,
refusing to elaborate.
He said he was also concerned
about the ability of somebody to
get a fair trial in Dallas, should
the grand jury return an indict
ment in the case.
Creuzot’s order says “it ap
pears to the Court that the ex
tensive pretrial publicity by way
of interviews of the lawyers for
both the state and defense and
possible leaks of confidential in
formation have compromised the
ability of the grand jury to con
duct its investigation ... in a fair,
impartial and secret manner.”
The grand jury has a three-
month term that lasts until the
end of March.
Fort Worth television station
KXAS, quoting unidentified
sources close to the investiga
tion, has reported that Roberts
and Nabwangu refused to testify
before the grand jury last week,
citing their 5th Amendment
right against self-incrimination.
The station said prosecutors
would order them to testify
Tuesday, promising that noth
ing they say will be used
against them.
Only Beck was arrested after
police entered an Irving motel
room early March 4. A motel
manager made a 911 call to
complain about a noisy party in
volving possible prostitution
and drug use.
Police said they found about
3 ounces of marijuana, 2 ounces
of cocaine and drug parapherna
lia. Arresting officers said the
drugs were in Beck’s immediate
proximity and she told them the
narcotics belonged to her.
KXAS-TV, again quoting
unidentified sources, reported
that police found a glass con
tainer with cocaine residue in
an overnight bag of Irwin’s.
On Sunday, before the gag order
was imposed, Irvin expressed faith
in the legal system.
“The courts will straighten this
out,” he said.
Before the gag order, First As
sistant District Attorney Norm
Kinne criticized the decision to ar
rest only Beck.
“(She) only was arrested because
she admitted to owning the drugs,”
Kinne told WP’AA-TV. “I believe
they had probable cause to arrest
everyone in the room. They should
have filed the charges and let us
worry about (the prosecution).”
Jail records show that Irvin’s at
torney visited Beck at the jail
shortly before 4 a.m. and helped
arrange her release on $5,500
bond.
Bam! Morris indicted on marijuana charge
ROCKWALL, Texas (AP) — A grand jury-
indicted Pittsburgh Steelers running back
Byron “Bam” Morris on felony drug charges
Tuesday after authorities found marijuana
and cocaine in his Mercedes-Benz.
Morris was indicted on one count of pos
session of between 5 and 50 pounds of mari
juana and one count of possession of between
1 and 4 grams of cocaine, Rockwall County
District Attorney Galen Sumrow said.
Both charges are third-degree felonies
punishable by two to 10 years in prison and
a maximum $10,000 fine.
Authorities searching Morris’ impounded
luxury car found 1 1/2 grams of cocaine Mon
day, Sumrow said. The leased car was re
tained last week after officers found more
than six pounds of marijuana in the trunk
during a traffic stop.
Officers found the cocaine in a small hol
low area underneath the ashtray, said John
Davila, assistant commander of the North
east Area Drug Interdiction Task Force.
Morris, 24, the leading rusher in this
year’s Super Bowl, and Rodney Dwayne
Reynolds, 26, a passenger in the car, were
arrested Friday and released after posting
$25,000 bond.
Reynolds was indicted on one count of
possession of between 5 and 50 pounds of
marijuana, Sumrow said.
Morris’ attorney. Jay Ethington of Dallas,
did not immediately return a call.
Morris was stopped Friday morning for
crossing the outside line and for not wearing
a seat belt, officials said. An officer from the
drug task force followed Morris about three
miles before pulling him over outside the
Rockwall city limits.
The officer became suspicious after Morris
and Fteynolds gave conflicting statements of
where they’d been and what they’d been do
ing, authorities said.
After obtaining Morris’ permission to
search the car, the officer found the drugs in
the trunk in a sports bag, authorities said.
