May 23, 2003 -- Giant defensive tackle Keith Hamilton is in trouble again.
Early yesterday morning, Hamilton was pulled over on Interstate 287 in Harding Township, N.J. (Morris Country), when an officer spotted tinted windows on his SUV. That was the least of Hamilton's problems.

He was arrested for possession of cocaine, possession of under 50 grams of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Sgt. Dan Irons of the Harding Township Police Dept.

Iron said "no amount at this point in time" when asked to reveal what the police report listed as to how much cocaine was found in Hamilton's vehicle.

I don't drink and drive, and I certainly don't do drugs. I would think that these "extremely well off ($$)" people could afford a chauffer.
