Drugs Run In The Family

If brother Brett liked his painkillers too much, then sister Brandi Farve learned her lesson and left opiates for something with a little more...zip. She was arrested yesterday in a methamphetamine bust.

Favre had been jailed on $40,000 bond on charges of manufacturing methamphetamine and generating hazardous waste. She is reresented by defense attorneys Richard V. Dymond and Chad Favre (!), a distant cousin and close friend of Brandi Favre. Guess who's trying to worm his way into the family to get some NFL connections...

If convicted, Brandi Favre faces up to $1 million in fines and up to 30 years in prison on each count. She was among five people arrested during a drug raid at a condo in Diamondhead, Misssissippi. About nine grams of methamphetamine (worth about $1,000, don't ask how I know) were seized. Deputies found a meth lab in the bathroom and had to evacuate seven nearby condos while a hazardous materials team cleared out all the drug-making chemicals. And it wasn't their encounter with Brandi Favre.

In 1999, Favre, her sister-in-law and another woman were booked with felony shoplifting. In 1996, she was charged with unlawful use of a weapon in connection with a drive-by shooting at a motel in Slidell, LA. At the time she was a student at Southern Mississippi, where Brett Favre played. She completed a program in Louisiana that allowed her criminal charges to be erased, and clearly, she'll learned from that mistake and make the right choices in life. If she keeps it up, she may supplant Brett as the official Favre family black sheep.
