Yesterday, Cleveland Indians relief pitcher Chris Perez and his wife Melanie pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge, drew probation, and paid a small fine. The court also ordered Mr. Perez to speak to children about drug use.
Perez's problem began when he mailed some marijuana to his home, but addressed the package to his dog. This "I'm-so-high" decision attracted suspicion from the postal inspector and eventually the police.
He has acknowledged his error and said he'll counsel kids to make better choices than he did. "I'm gonna tell 'em to really think before doing something like I did," said Perez. "Mailing weed to 'Fido Perez' was really dumb, a dead give-away. I shoulda sent it to my cat, 'Garfield'."
