BREAKING Former @AZCardinals @BYU QB Max Hall busted on drug, shoplifting charges. http://bit.ly/1x7sT07 

Former NFL QB Max Hall loses prep job after arrest

GILBERT, Ariz. (AP) - Former NFL quarterback Max Hall has lost his job as offensive coordinator at Gilbert High School after his arrest last week.

A Gilbert Public School official said Friday that the 28-year-old Hall won't be returning to the school, where he was in his first season with the football team.

Hall was arrested last Saturday in Gilbert on suspicion of shoplifting and possession of narcotics.

Police say several stolen items from Best Buy and Walmart were found in Hall's backpack along with a "personal-use quantity of cocaine."

Hall grew up in nearby Mesa and starred at BYU from 2007-09 before being signed as an undrafted free agent by the Arizona Cardinals.

He played in six games for the Cardinals in 2010 and was with the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers in 2013.

Lol at the guy downplaying injecting cocaine.

No mention of a needle and a spoon, I expect that might be an exaggeration of the facts.

I'd be curious to see why his life is like this? Did he have a history of drug abuse?

Why did he get into it?

Probably because he liked feeling rich, good-looking and bulletproof. No one who hasn't been there can really describe the godlike feeling of euphoria.

Only if Hall and the police are exaggerating.

 

The arrest

Hall was stopped by security personnel at the Best Buy and was cooperative as he waited for police to arrive. As officers approached Hall, he immediately apologized, according to a police report.

"I'm really sorry, I'll pay for the stuff. If I get arrested, I'll get fired. I've never done this before," Hall is quoted in the report.

Officers found $286 worth of electronics inside the backpack after employees saw Hall taking items out of their packaging, putting them in his bag and hiding the empty boxes, the report states.

"Most of the items were cellphone cases, cellphone chargers, smaller items like that, electronics, like that," Sanger said. "I think everything looks like it was $30 to $40 for each item."

Investigators also located hypodermic needles, a metal spoon, a lighter and what field tests confirmed was cocaine, stored in a pill bottle. Hall told police he had used the cocaine that morning, injecting himself near the elbow, the report states.

Hall then told police "I don't want to answer any more questions."

I bet Max doesn't even know. One thing I've learned from alcoholism & drug addiction that seems to unfortunately run in my family is, some people are born with addictive personalities. I battled my addictions over the years.... I smoked 2 1/2 packs a day for two decades till I quit in 1996 for good. I weighed 310 lbs because I ate like it was my last meal & would snack nightly on chips & french onion dip, nachos, KFC, McDonalds at all hours, mostly at night when my wife was asleep. Then I'd shamefully bag up all the eaten goodies, walk out to the garbage & throw it away thinking she'd never know when she did. I remember asking myself why I did what I did & had no answer. It was like those addictions controlled me as I couldn't control them. And then I'd feel like absolute crap the next day being sick. I drank too much but wouldn't classify myself as an alcoholic but it was close. About the only thing I didn't do was drugs too much... Well, today I weigh 210 lbs, I don't smoke & I only drink occasionally. I haven't been drunk in years... But seeing my dad & uncles battle the bottle & with my demons, I think we were born with addictive personalities... That's my theory anyway.

If you want a clinical description, there are several, but the most common one is that some of us are afflicted with a gnawing sense of incompleteness and inadequacy and come to believe that some action or substance will fill that lack or at least distract us from it.

Thanks.... The smoking one was relatively easy for me to beat once I put my mind to it. But the weight was a challenge. I never thought I'd lose 110 lbs & was a candidate for lap band surgery. I'm glad I took it upon myself to lose the weight with self discipline, a healthy diet, vigorous exercise & not have the surgery. Seeing my dad & the way alcohol affected him (he'd go missing for days & my mother always thought we'd get a phone call saying he was dead) I drank but in the back of my mind I was always scared of alcohol... So, when I decided to quit drinking it was an easy decision. But appreciate your words. 

Nice job, iso. What do you do to stay in shape? I used to run but the 40yo knees won't take the pounding anymore.

Nowadays I swim laps 3x a week and I can't believe how awesome I feel afterwards.

I try to watch my diet by eating a lot better. I belong to Good Life. Lift weights & for cardio I use an Arc Trainer by Cybex to burn calories. Probably in the best shape I've been in since my late 20's. It's an outstanding machine. I just sweat a ton every workout. For a guy who is 59 I think I'm doing alright. Took me my entire life to  get my vices under control. I tell ya, in my 20's I was the life of the party.
