Former Colts defensive back Dexter Reid pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a felony charge of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. 

But Reid rolled the dice on a lesser charge relating to the carrying of concealed weapon.  At the conclusion of a brief trial, he was acquitted.

Hooray?

He faces up to 10 years in prison on the drug charge; any sentence imposed on the misdemeanor gun charge likely would have run concurrently.

One of our moles in the Virginia Beach area tells us that Reid testified at the trial “and really came across as a piece of crap.”

Reid was drafted by the Patriots in 2004, and he was preparing a year ago at this time for an appearance in the Super Bowl, which his Colts team won.
