PSU’s Gyasi Cline-Heard Busted by Feds

4 Comments

The hits just keep coming for Penn State athletics.

In the wake of the massive alleged sex scandal involving former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, former Nittany Lion basketball player Gyasi Cline-Heard has been arrested in Florida on charges that he was the leader of a drug and gun ring.

Undercover officers bought cocaine off Cline-Heard before raiding his house and tattoo parlor, in which four dozen guns were found, including machine guns and assault rifles.

“That’s something you would see in a spy movie,” Lt. Chuck Balderstone of the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said at a news conference.

Prior to the bust, the former Penn State star was living near Tampa in Trinity, FL, and owned a tattoo parlor named Legacy Tattoo. The son of the NBA’s Gar Heard and a leader of Penn State’s 2001 Sweet Sixteen squad, Cline-Heard last played basketball professionally in South Korea during the 2010-11 season.

It looks like the only basketball he’ll be playing now will be in the prison courtyard.

    And in other news, Galen Hall was directed to pay interest on the 1989 gift to a student athlete at Florida. Could you make that stretch to smear PSU please? Give it up.

    I learned of this today and it was very heartbreaking. Wishing I could understand what would lead him to do this. His father wrote to the court saying he wasn’t raised that way and that is true. I wish that he would have made a better decision. Peace and blessings to his family. Many prayers for you. God bless
