[edit] Legal issues
In July 2002, Andrews was sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor gun charge. The gun was found in his car by Texas State Police officers during a traffic stop. At the time, Andrews was serving a two year probation for a March 2002 conviction for misdemeanor criminal mischief[1].
On February 5, 2008, two days after Super Bowl XLII, Andrews was arrested in Lowell, Massachusetts and charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute and operating an unregistered motor vehicle[2]. Andrews was seen driving a black Ford Crown Victoria when police received a call that there was possible drug activity in the area[3]. Police found $6,800 in cash and a 1/2 pound of marijuana in Andrews' unregistered car[2].
