Not sure where to post this, but it's just such an outrageous story
Wonder what Gorman's 1st words were when trooper's lights flashed behind him!


KEARNEY, Neb. (WOWT) -- An Iowa man arrested by the Nebraska State Patrol Sunday evening near Kearney was found in possession of 121 pounds of marijuana and other narcotics, the NSP reported Monday.

According to the NSP’s statement, at 7 p.m. Sunday a trooper saw a vehicle driving on the shoulder of I-80 near Kearney at mile marker 275.

The trooper initiated a traffic stop and “detected clandestine activity,” so a K9 unit from the Kearney Police Department was called in.

The K9 detected the odor of a controlled substance. A search of the vehicle uncovered 121 pounds of marijuana, six pounds of THC concentrate, two vials of steroids, a small amount of cocaine and $14,000 in cash.

4. UFC fight club. Cripe sake. Doesn't surprise me tho!

It's all one big racket ain't it.

[malaise]

13. Yep

But does he know Gym?

[Budi]

15. AaHaa! Oooh. Watch the whole drug running, money laundering UFC business be blown open

and Gym is in the middle of it!!

No one would be surprised...except Gym 😄

[Budi]

11. Makes you wonder when he got his start & who gave it to him..damn

"The West Des Moines native was a standout wrestler for Valley. As a senior in 2001, he took third at the Class 3A state tournament at 112 pounds, compiling a 29-9 overall record.

Gorman began his professional fighting career in 2005 and earned the nickname "The Psycho." He posted a 9-4 record as a bantamweight, with six wins by knockout or technical knockout, and but hasn't fought since June 2015.

This is not Gorman's first time being accused of drug trafficking. He was charged with three felony drug crimes two years after his last fight, according to court records."

[malaise]

21. I always go digging when I see the steroids

Good question about where he got his start.

[Budi]

24. It is a key point. Its a darker path of business & its all about making money.

Promoting a star, performance to kep the money flowing & down line to the supplier.

What a sick business.

[Drahthaardogs]

41. 2 bottles of testosterone is a personal cycle

Maybe even HRT dosing. 500 mg/week for 12 weeks is a light cycle. No one is getting huge off of 2 vials of test.

[Phoenix61]

2. I have a lawyer friend who gave me some

great advice, “Never break two laws at the same time.” He said that’s how most people end up getting arrested.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

3. Did he say why he thought you needed that advice?

You must have been doing at least two wrong things at the time ...



Or maybe just having a lawyer as a friend counts as one.

[Phoenix61]

8. We were chatting about a local incident.

He’s a good guy even if he is a lawyer. Hard core Dem. Yeah! As is his best friend. It’s awe inspiring when the two of them tag team against some idiot MAGAt. I always feel privileged when I get to see it.

[Talitha]

29. Hell, I'd PAY to see that!

[Budi]

5. That's some good advice. Most ppl never would have thought about it that way.

(Writing it down to include in my will.

[tonedevil]

9. Running a stop sign or red light...

and getting caught with contraband in the car is a classic tale.

[panader0]

12. I learned that the hard way.

[Wounded Bear]

33. Yep, many DUI arrests are made because somebody was speeding...

or ran a rolling stop at a sign, or some other relatively minor violation.

Paranoia can be your friend.

[lame54]

6. Thought that was your lockdown shopping list

[Budi]

7. Haaaha ..well that would make time in isolation totally fly by!

"One pill makes you larger, and one pill makes you small"

[ProfessorGAC]

10. Well, Not The Steroids

The rest....

[Budi]

14. Nope not steroids!! I'd be so paranoid to have that much stash in my posession

Can't imagine driving around town with it ..

"Omfg"!!...that's all I'd be saying over & over

"121 pounds of marijuana, six pounds of THC concentrate, two vials of steroids, a small amount of cocaine and $14,000 in cash."

[ProfessorGAC]

16. Me, Too!

And, obviously he crossed, or intended to cross state lines, which makes it federal. Twice!

[Budi]

18. Lol. "Twice"! Geez. That sure was a bad night to go for a drive across the State line!!

Ok. With his record, Gorman's either going to give up names, get life in Fed prison, or die before he can talk.

"Gorman and another man were arrested in October 2017 after a car they were riding in was pulled over in Clive, and a pound of marijuana and loaded handgun was found.
A police officer working on the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Task Force later found 20 more pounds of marijuana wax, and large amounts of cash in a separate vehicle Gorman was seen driving that same day.

Court records show Gorman pleaded guilty in August 2018 to one count of conspiracy to deliver a controlled substance and was sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was incarcerated from August 2018 until May 2019, when he was released under parole, according to the Iowa Department of Corrections"
_____________

So he served only 1 year of a 10 yr sentence?

"sentenced to 10 years in prison.
He was incarcerated from August 2018 until May 2019, when he was released under parole"

Think maybe the PD were watching him?
Yikes

[yonder]

20. Maybe they were, but driving on the shoulder

of the highway probably did the trick.

[Budi]

22. Yup. Regardless, that was the big error. Probably texting his ETA..

Ya. His phone history now has a few people in the business a little nervous.

[ProfessorGAC]

23. Not The Sharpest Knife In The Drawer

Intoxicated (pun intended) by the $ or the thrill of the risk. Maybe both!

[Budi]

25. That's the honest to god truth of the business.

Sounds like his young career ended the moment he was introduced to fame & the money.
His entire life from there on was owned till he (literallly) ran it off the road.

This case will be interesting to keep an eye on. There are no doubt, bigger fish than him in the sights of FBI/NARC.

Its a movie script being written, that I would like to watch one day.

[madinmaryland]

17. Barroid Bonds?

[Budi]

19. Yup. Barry "Barroids" Bonds MLB steroids scandal of all time

Gorman's UFC career was about over & his handlers found another useful purpose for him. And he agreed.

[BamaRefugee]

26. Sounds like a home quarantine shopping list here in Los Angeles

[NBachers]

27. Some people are out of big money, and probably quite pissed about it right now.

The narcs are leaning quite heavily on him to make a deal.

[Johnny2X2X]

28. Prohibition is a failure

Legalize this. Total waste of taxpayer money to arrest people like this.

[greenjar_01]

30. People shouldn't go to jail for cannibis

[jmowreader]

31. "Other narcotics"?

In that entire stash he didn’t have one narcotic.

[pbmus]

32. The day will come when all drugs will be decriminalized...

And doctors who over prescribe pain drugs will go to jail...

[malaise]

34. Ganja is pretty much decriminalized here in JA

although anyone with the quantity above will be arrested. Everyone is allowed three plants here because it is part of the culture. I know old ladies who soak ganja in white rum and have a few drops in their morning ginger tea

We had family around for reunions at the end of last year and it was dead easy for them to find a smoke.

[Mosby]

35. Drug dogs

https://www.democraticunderground.com/1017582266

[Budi]

36. Perhaps, but clearly not in this case. What a haul!

[Mosby]

37. How do we know the search was legal?

The probable cause came from the dog.

[Budi]

38. K-9 unit was called in after the initial stop.

"The trooper initiated a traffic stop and “detected clandestine activity,” so a K9 unit from the Kearney Police Department was called in"


Maybe ran a check on his record after he was stopped for driving on the side of the freeway.

We don't have the data on the rest of what occurred to give them suspicion . It's prob in the PReport.
His court date is June 17, I think. More will be revealed then.
Basically, He f'ked up when he drove off the road in the presence of the HP. What followed was due his own error in judgement.

Far as I can tell, the dogs came after they had reason to search further.

[Nature Man]

43. also

cops lie. It's part of their training and culture.

[Tarc]

39. Man, when did the DU get so uptight over drugs?

This is pretty much the opening paragraphs of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

[Budi]

40. The sheer quantity Gorman was carrying when he drove off the road in the presence of HP.

Is what caught my eye.

The life of Gorman reads like a movie script as well.
It's the reaction one gets when a major fk up in a dumb way occurs.
Poor Gorman, what a bad day!
