The potential problems for Patriots defensive back Willie Andrews are slightly more serious that first believed.

Andrews wasn’t simply busted for possession of marijuana.  He had three bags of it, and no means to smoke it.

As a result, he has been charged with possession with intent to distribute. 

Ironically, Andrews previously told John Tomase of the Boston Herald that a 10-day stint in jail had scared him straight.

“That gave me my first sense of being in the real world, when your parents can’t do anything for you and you have to face your actions and be a man,” Andrews said after being drafted in 2006.  “It was really a turning point for me and helped get me where I am today.  I didn’t want to be in their position and go back there.  That was really eye opening.”

Before too long, Andrews could be getting a thorough refresher course.
