Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been indicted by a Randall County, Texas, grand jury on drug and burglary charges.
The indictment charges the 33-year-old former San Diego Chargers quarterback with one count of burglary to a habitation, seven counts of obtaining a controlled substance by fraud and delivery of a simulated controlled substance.
Canyon police Lt. Dale Davis said Leaf is suspected of breaking into a Canyon apartment on Oct. 30 and stealing the painkiller Hydrocodone, which had been prescribed to an injured football player.
The Randall County district attorney told the Amarillo Globe-News that Leaf had been undergoing drug rehabilitation in British Columbia.
The D-A told the newspaper that efforts were under way to try to convince Leaf to return to the United States on his own.
It was not clear whether Leaf had an attorney.
