Morris Trial Nears Start

Sat., Aug. 5, 2000

Three members of the Kansas City Chiefs and a former Chief now with the New Orleans Saints are among 93 people on the prosecution’s witness list in Kansas City, Mo., for the drug trial of former running back Bam Morris.

Running back Kimble Anders, tackle Victor Riley and cornerback Eric Warfield of the Chiefs were on the list released by the U.S. Attorney’s office along with receiver Joe Horn of the Saints.

Morris, who retired abruptly after last season, faces trial Aug. 14 on charges he and two other men operated a marijuana distribution ring allegedly financed by former Chiefs kick returner Tamarick Vanover.

A woman whom police say helped hide Rae Carruth after he was charged with murder has surrendered to authorities in Charlotte, N.C.

Wendy Lovette Cole turned herself in Thursday night and was charged with harboring a fugitive.
