Former NHLer Jere Karalahti was found guilty in a Finnish court and fined $1,900 for drug use in 2007. Karalahti was caught when a photo on a friend’s laptop revealed a white powdery substance in his nose. He must have had a terrible lawyer, if he was getting pinned off of a photo. It could have been any number of things, a smashed up Tylenol, powdered sugar, cocaine. But unfortunately Jere was just too darn drunk to remember the night, or so his statement said and therefore was unable to properly defend himself.
But alas, this is just a small blip on his criminal filled radar screen, which includes a drug trafficking charge (which he’s awaiting an appeal on his sentencing).
However, you may remember Jere from his stint in the NHL, which came to a close in 2002 after his third violation of the league’s substance abuse policy. Gee, never would have guessed a guy that got caught so often in the NHL would ever get arrested and thrown in jail on drug charges. Oh, wait, I totally saw that one coming.
Watch out Jere, because the popo are on your tail!
