> Guion was charged with two felonies, one for the marijuana and another for possession of a firearm in commission of a felony. Police secured the cash, though Guion’s agent claims the money was from NFL paychecks and that he has bank statements proving it was not related to the drugs. A spokesperson for the Starke Police Department told The Huffington Post they have not received this documentation and that they gave Guion a receipt stating their intent to permanently seize the cash.
Constitutionally, seizure (the money has not yet been forfeited, only seized) only requires probable cause. Finding a large amount of cash next to almost a pound of illegal drugs is undoubtedly probable cause to conclude that the money is the proceeds of illegal activity.
