Dez Bryant’s mom was arrested for selling crack in 2009

Angela Bryant’s 15 minutes of fame is still going, more than a week after she became a household name when a Miami Dolphins executive asked her son if his mother was a prostitute in a pre-draft interview.

 

On the same day that the mother of Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant said she believes Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland owes her an apology, ESPN reports that Angela Bryant was arrested in April 2009 for selling crack cocaine to police informants in Texas. 

 

In August 2009 she was found guilty of two felony counts relating to possession of a controlled substance and the manufacture and delivery of a controlled substance.  She received a sentence of 10 years' probation.

 

In 1997, Angela Bryant was convicted of selling crack cocaine and spent 18 months in jail.

 

Ireland has apologized to Dez Bryant for the question.

 

On Monday, Angela Bryant complained to the website Fanhouse.com that the 1997 arrest was being used against her son. She did not mention the other two arrests.

 

"When they couldn't find enough dirt on him, they went to that," she told Fanhouse.com. "It was almost like a scheme. They should never have put that kind of thing or question on him. Whatever reason they chose to do that, they are talking about my charges of 12 years ago and running with it. I'm not OK with it. But we are both going to be OK."

 

Bryant, a wide receiver, said during the Cowboys' rookie mini-camp last weekend that he would not discuss the Ireland situation.
