Pastorini Likely Avoids Drug Charges in Cocaine Stop
Oakland Raiders quarterback Dan Pastorini faced a possible drug case after police found a small cocaine vial during a weapons search following a speeding stop. Sheriff officials said charges would probably not be filed as the search targeted weapons, and the district attorney’s office had preliminarily decided not to prosecute. Pastorini paid about 80 dollars in past traffic fines, was arrested, then released after being cited and cleared. Laboratory tests confirmed cocaine in the vial.
