Patrick Chung, a New England Patriots safety, was indicted on a cocaine possession charge earlier this month by a New Hampshire grand jury, it was reported Thursday.
According to USA TODAY Sports, 32-year-old Chung’s indictment came on Aug. 8.

Court documents do not name a lawyer for the three-time Super Bowl champion.
