Graham connected to Ohio drug case

Posted 2:51PM on Tuesday 21st May 2002 ( 22 years ago )
ATLANTA - Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jeff Graham has been connected with a drug case in Ohio.

But his lawyer says the 11-year NFL veteran's only involvement is that his sister has been charged with smuggling cocaine.

Graham's sister - Carolyn Graham - was among those indicted last fall in Dayton, Ohio, after officials secured more than a hundred pounds of pure cocaine - the largest seizure in the city's history.

Law enforcement officials are still investigating the case and say they are searching for information about 11 people - including the wide receiver.

There have been no allegation that Jeff Graham was involved.

Kenneth Lawson - Jeff Graham's attorney - said none of his client's property has been searched or seized but says the inclusion f his name on the warrant ``has a severe economic effect on endorsement possibilities.''

The 33-year-old Graham signed a one-year contract with the Falcons on April 26.
