A trouble-plagued 1960s-era New York Giants player was busted in a Manhattan drug sting last weekend, after he had been freed from prison earlier this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Clyde “Peter” Hall, 82 allegedly tried to sell six kilos of coke to an unidentified buyer Saturday, according to a complaint unsealed Monday in Manhattan federal court.
The buyer was actually an informant working with the Drug Enforcement Administration, who had recorded phone calls between him an Hall as the pair set up the drug deal.
When the transaction was set to go down Saturday morning, agents swooped in and arrested Hall outside of his building, according to the complaint.
Cops then searched Hall’s apartment and recovered some seven kilos of blow, a spokesperson for the Southern District of New York said.
Nothing he didn’t bring upon himself.
