A former Baylor University basketball star, Richard Khamir Hurd, tried to extort money from Redskin quarterback, Robert Griffin III, in attempt to keep what is being called "derogatory information" from being leaked to the media.
254Sports.com is reporting that Hurd was charged last Friday with 'interstate communication containing a threat to injure the property or reputation of another person'.
An affadavit submitted on June 18 shows that Hurd told an unidentified person with the initials B.D. that “he had derogatory information on a client of B.D., and that he intended to release that information to the media to damage or injure the reputation of B.D.’s client unless the client paid Hurd a substantial sum of money.”
Griffin is represented by Ben Dogra of Creative Artists Agency (CAA). Dogra also represents linebacker London Fletcher of the Washington Redskins.
Dogra ranks 2 out of 10 as the NFL's most powerful agents.
The question to be asked is: What information does Hurd have about Washington's starting quarterback?
Needless to say, the Washington Redskins who may have faced yet another controversy before the start of the season, are mum on the topic.
