Parker Busted

- Posted by Sam -

According to The Morning Call:

The starting left defensive end for the Philadelphia Eagles was in court early this morning instead of resting up for practice on Lehigh University's campus.

Juqua Parker, whose birth name is Juqua Demail Thomas, was taken into custody during a traffic stop around 12:30 a.m. on N. Mountain Drive at Route 378, which is near the Eagles training camp on Lehigh's Mountaintop Campus.

Lower Saucon Township police said Parker was a passenger in a vehicle stopped for a traffic violation, and he had a small amount of marijuana in his possession.

This camp is truly awesome so far.

UPDATE:

According to Moving the Chains, Reid had the following two bits of new information:

• All the players had last night off, although they did have a 1 a.m. curfew.

• When asked if Parker could participate in this afternoon's practice, Reid said, "We'll see."
