Former Kansas City Chiefs running back Byron “Bam” Morris has been sentenced to 30 months in federal prison for conspiracy to distribute 100 kilograms or more of marijuana and drug money laundering. Prosecutors say in February 1999, Morris and two other men conspired to distribute the marijuana in the Kansas City area to help a Chiefs teammate, Tamarick Vanover, satisfy nearly 100 thousand dollars in debt to the IRS. Vanover received a lighter sentence, two months in prison and a ten-thousand dollar fine, in exchange for turning state’s evidence.
