Sad tale out of Mississippi as former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jimmy Smith is currently serving a six years in the Mississippi Department of Corrections after being convicted of drug and weapons charges, Chad Cushnir of firstcoastnews.com reports.

According to Mississippi DOC records, Smith is serving two years for "possession of a firearm by a convicted felon" and four years for possession of cocaine. Smith began his sentence on March 29, 2013 and his tentative release date is November 8, 2018.

Smith finished his career with 862 receptions for 12,287 yards — both totals rank among the Top 20 in NFL history — with 67 touchdowns during his 178-game career, all but seven of which were spent with the Jaguars after beginning his career a second-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys in 1992. Smith was injured during his first two seasons in the NFL and spent the 1994 season out of football before latching on with the expansion Jaguars in 1995.

During his 11-season career with the Jaguars, Smith earned five trips to the Pro Bowl and remains the franchise's all-time leader in every major receiving statistical category. Smith also had a few brushes with the law — a DUI arrest in 2001 that would eventually be dropped — and was suspended for four games during the 2003 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy.

Following his playing career, Smith was arrested for DUI in 2008 and on drug charges following a traffic violation in 2009. Smith received probation in both of those cases and voluntarily checked himself into rehab following the 2009 arrest. Smith appeared to have turned his life around, working with at-risk youth through his foundation. Smith was also quite active on Twitter, but has not posted since Dec. 18 of last year.

I have to ask. How does one get arrested and sentenced for this when celebrities constantly talk about doing it with no repercussions? I'm not positive, but I'm pretty sure that Charlie Sheen uses drugs based on his past statements.

Biggest let down since Fred Taylor's groin relapse.

Crazy how he was a part of those two legendary draft classes of the Cowboys in the early 90's. Even though he didn't stick around with the Cowboys very long.

Dude should have been a patient long ago. Maybe he he wouldn't have to be a prisoner now.

I'm sure it's the weapons charge that got him the time, as it should.

Probably being a felon with a gun is the issue.

The cocaine got him twice the time the weapons charge did.

Still a DUMBASS though.
