Patriots’ Chung indicted on cocaine possession charge

LACONIA, N.H. (AP) — New England Patriots safety Patrick Chung has been indicted in New Hampshire on a charge of cocaine possession, according to court paperwork released Thursday.

A Belknap County grand jury indicted Chung, 32, on Aug. 8.

Members of the Meredith, New Hampshire, police department were called to Chung’s residence June 25 “on a call for service” and obtained evidence leading to the felony drug charge, Belknap County Attorney Andrew Livernois said in a statement.

Livernois declined to provide additional details on the case.

"We are aware of the reports regarding Patrick Chung," the Patriots tweeted. "We will not be commenting while his judicial proceedings take place."

The team didn’t say whether Chung would play Thursday in a preseason game against Carolina.
