As for Cedric Benson, this was in the Dallas Morning News, pertaining to his arrest for "possession of marijuana".

***************************

Several revelations surfaced at the end of last week that cast doubt on the validity of all of the original charges. According to Benson's attorneys (and later confirmed by the Midland Police Department), the officers that responded to the loud music complaint that resulted in the UT freshman running back's arrest forcibly entered the Midland apartment without a search warrant. Benson's attorneys also claimed that Benson arrived at the apartment approximately 30 minutes before the police's forced entry, that the apartment had no stereo, calling into question the impetus for the police action, and that the police, once in the apartment, found the marijuana confined to a single purse that, along with the drug paraphernalia, was in a room of the apartment that Benson was not in.

In an effort to clear his name from the potential taint of drug use, Benson subjected himself to a drug test last Tuesday, according to attorney Brian Carney's interview with the AP. The Midland attorney said Benson requested the drug test, which was administered in Austin in a state-licensed, NCAA-approved toxicology lab used by The University. "Had he been using marijuana before or at the time of his arrest, it would have shown up in the drug test he was given," Carney said. Benson, though, tested negative for any drugs in his system.

I'm sure you were half-heartedly kidding about him, but I think he's a good kid, and would hate to see him branded a drug user/dealer.
