Nate Dogg‘s son, Naijiel Hale, has reportedly been charged with two counts of felony distribution of dangerous drugs and one count of misdemeanor possession, after being arrested in a major drug sting operation, TMZ reports. The junior quarterback at Montana State allegedly set up multiple drug deals with people that ended up being undercover cops.
Police told TMZ they “contacted Hale to purchase a bunch of Xanax pills,” and he allegedly had his teammate, Darren Gardenhire, complete the transaction. Another time, they allegedly “arranged a deal at his home where he had a 3rd person deliver the drugs.”
