A horrible blow to his practice....

People should stop imitating Ally McBeal.

Did he meet Al Pacino in the men's room, too?

If you wanna hang out, you've got to scream and shout...

Swears he's never tried the stuff.

Sniffilis.

In all, police gathered five grams of cocaine they say belonged to Ramsay.

Estimated street value, $20 million.

"Your honor, I'd like to continue this line... of questioning"

Judges are so serious these days.

schattenteufel: Swears he's never tried the stuff.



This guy as well has never tried the stuff.

schattenteufel: Swears he's never tried the stuff.

He's very good!

Meh, a lawyer. Who really cares.

well, who DOESN'T take over an 8 ball of cocaine to work with them every day?

i mean come on, we've all been there.

Winona Police Investigator Jay Rasmussen reported he saw Ramsay leave a conference room about 1:20 p.m. Thursday and enter a nearby mens room. He emerged moments later without having flushed a toilet, "sniffing profusely" and pinching and wiping his nose, according to court documents.


So this cop was just hanging around the men's bathroom and listening to people as they did their business in there? I wonder if Investigator Rasmussen makes a habit of hanging out in the mens room and 'observing' behavior there....

Must be a cracker. He snorts it instead of smoking it.

5 grams is an awful lot of blow to be bringing with you for a few hours at work.

I agree with Rodney Dangerfield. I don't like cocaine, I just like the smell.

I TOLD you, these public defenders all have one thing or another wrong with them...

Ramsay's brother Gordon Ramsay is police chief in Duluth, Minn., and could also not be reached Friday by phone.

He told a Duluth newspaper:

My brother's a farking donkey!!!

Can't wait for the followup with the guys client getting out of murder charges, or at the very least a sweet plea deal. "It was all my coked-up lawyer's fault. He told me it was just candy sugar."

I want to know why the cop was hanging around the mens room and watching what guys did in there....

"Are you on drugs?"



"No sir, I don't take drugs."



"Well I don't like your bathroom behavior."

I'm a wedding photographer. A few years ago I had a coke problem. There was one occasion on which I had stayed up all night only to have to do an 8 hour wedding the next day. I ended up having some left and doing some to keep myself awake. It ended up just making me paranoid and sweaty, and everyone in church who looked at me just knew I was all farked up. I remember sitting in the front row and the priest was talking about sinners as his gaze fell on me. Good thing those days are over...

Damn, and here I am with my sinusitis and the occasional trip to rinse my nose if it's bad - didn't know I was doing coke!

Dr. Rockso, Attorney at Law.

The lesson here is "Always flush." It helps hide the sound of your snorting too.

And now you all know why Lawyers charge the rates that they do.

Sounds to me like he had a bad cold and went to the mens room to get some tissue. However, since he was followed by the detective into the restroom, and then a police lab technician just happened to enter the courtroom and "discover" white powdery residue. it sounds like perhaps they were tipped off beforehand.
With the limited amount of experience I personally have with lawyers, this does not surprise me even a little.

Well now we know where he gets his drugs.

After trying it a couple of times, I never really found the appeal...just made me hyper and chatty.

/Green > white

Arklop

After trying it a couple of times, I never really found the appeal.

Next time, try rocking it up and smoking it, while at the same time enjoying about half a bottle of premium scotch and some really good 1970's porno tapes.

THIS

It sounds like a long-term problem simply reached its logical conclusion.

First, GOOD FOR YOU for getting past that problem.

Second, your wedding story contains the explanation for some peoples' question of 'why did the cop watch him.' When you're on something regularly, you ain't fooling anybody. I imagine this kind of behavior had gone on with him for a long time, before he got so brazen he thought he could do it in a courthouse.

"Winona Police Investigator Jay Rasmussen reported he saw Ramsay leave a conference room about 1:20 p.m. Thursday and enter a nearby mens room. He emerged moments later without having flushed a toilet, "sniffing profusely" and pinching and wiping his nose, according to court documents."

So, today's Pro-tip, kids, is: If you're going to do nose candy in a bathroom, make sure you flush the toilet when you're done.

Damn drugs really devastate lives. I mean, he was really a deadbeat piece of shiat right? Being a lawyer and all...

Zero sympathy for the dumbass lawyer, but 20 years and $250k for five grams??

This country is seriously farked up. Terms like "cruel and unusual punishment" are bedrock foundations of our democracy. . . except when we find them a wee bit annoying.

Came for the Gordon Ramsay pic & does not approve. Leaving disappointed.

In other news, people are watching you when you leave the bathroom and wondering why you didn't flush.

WTF?

/lolwut?!

If your job requires you to talk a mile a minute, cocaine might not be such a bad idea.

Ahhhh ... thanks so much wineguy.

stoppit: Came for the Gordon Ramsay pic & does not approve. Leaving disappointed.

As you see, I was thinking the same thing. No more disappointment.

One of these days I'll figure out how to post me some pics so I can quit complaining. :-)

"Winona Police Investigator Jay Rasmussen reported he saw Ramsay leave a conference room about 1:20 p.m. Thursday and enter a nearby mens room.

Dungy searched Ramsay and found a four-inch long straw containing cocaine residue and a contact lens case containing about a gram of cocaine in his pockets, according to the documents."

Damn this guy knows how to party!

studebaker hoch: In other news, people are watching you when you leave the bathroom and wondering why you didn't flush.

WTF?

Can you imagine the charges if he didn't wash his hands too?

And he still won't get disbarred.

What if they guy had only gone in the bathroom to jerk off?

I think this should have the "obvious" tag. Ive known too many people with great professions that catch themselves addictions because they have lots of money and nothing better to do with it.
