Former Patriots defensive back Willie Andrews arrested on drug charge 05.21.11 at 12:12 am ET

Former Patriots safety Willie Andrews was arrested in Texas this past week after a lengthy drug-trafficking investigation, according to the Longview (Tex.) News-Journal. Andrews, a seventh-round pick of the Patriots in 2006 who was cut in 2008 after run-ins with the law, was reportedly one of 13 people arrested and charged with, at a minimum, conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute hydrocodone and possession of a firearm during a drug trafficking crime.

Two days after Super Bowl XLII, Andrew was arrested in Lowell after police found him with a half-pound of marijuana. Five months later, Andrew was arrested again after after allegedly brandishing a gun at his live-in girlfriend during an early-morning argument. One day later, he was released by the Patriots. Since then, he has also signed with Florida and Omaha of the United Football League.

    I recall when the Pats drafted him that he came with big time character-related red flags due to his criminal past. He knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to turn his life around. However, his criminality was too ingrained, apparently, and screwed up a chance at redemption and a good life.
