HELENA, Mon. Buccaneers Mike Evans Lights Out Jersey . -- Former NFL quarterback Ryan Leaf has been formally charged with four felonies on accusations that he broke into an acquaintances home to steal prescription painkillers, then robbed a second home two days after being released from jail. Cascade County Attorney John Parker charged Leaf with two counts of burglary and two counts of criminal possession of a dangerous drug in court documents filed Thursday but only available on Friday. If convicted, Leaf faces a maximum prison sentence of 20 years on each burglary charge and five years for each possession charge. An arraignment has not yet been scheduled. A message left with Leafs attorney in Great Falls was not returned Friday afternoon. Leaf is jailed without bond on a 30-day hold while Montana and Texas authorities exchanged information on whether the Montana arrest violated the terms of his probation from a 2010 plea deal in Texas. In that case, Leaf was accused of burglarizing a players home while he was a quarterbacks coach for Division II West Texas A&M and an investigation turned up that Leaf had obtained nearly 1,000 pain pills from pharmacies. James Farren, the district attorney for Randall County in the Texas Panhandle, said late Friday that his office has received adequate details from Montana authorities and will file a motion to revoke Leafs probation on Monday Leaf is likely to face the Montana charges before being returned to Texas on the parole violation charge. "Its my understanding that Texas will wait until the Montana case has been resolved," Parker said. The charging documents filed Thursday offer more details to the allegations against the ex-quarterback. They say that Leafs arrest was the culmination of a monthlong investigation by the Central Montana Task Force that began when Great Falls postal workers tipped authorities that Leaf was receiving frequent packages and paying more than $500 cash on delivery for each. Task force officers and Leafs parole officer confronted Leaf on March 30. After initially denying receiving anything other than an herbal supplement from Florida, he eventually admitted that he received 10 packages, the charging documents said. Authorities then searched Leaf and his truck, finding two pill containers in a golf bag with Leafs name. One contained 28 oxycodone pills, while the other was empty with a prescription label in the name of an acquaintance of Leafs. Leaf first denied having any pills, the charging documents said. When told what was found in his golf bag, Leaf said the pills were from an old prescription. Asked about the prescription container for his acquaintance, Leaf said the man left the pills there when the two were playing golf together. "Ultimately, Leaf admitted to stealing some oxycodone pills from (the acquaintance)," the charging documents read. "Leaf admitted to ingesting six or seven of the oxycodone even though he does not have a prescription for oxycodone." Police concluded after interviews with the acquaintance and his housekeeper that Leaf entered the mans home the day before without permission and the two did not go golfing together. Leaf was arrested and then freed on $76,000 bail. Two days later, on April 1, two Cascade County residents told authorities they had returned home to discover a man inside their home, the documents say. The man said he had the wrong home and left. The couple called police after they noticed a drill missing, and later found three different prescription medications were gone. The couple identified Leaf in a photo lineup and police went to Leafs home to arrest him. They found another 89 hydrocodone pills when searching his home, the charging documents say. Leaf, a former standout quarterback for Washington State, was the No. 2 pick in the 1998 draft, but his short-lived career earned him the reputation as one of the biggest busts in NFL history. After his arrest in Texas, Leaf returned home to Montana and appeared to be turning his life around. He gave occasional motivational speeches and last wrote a book titled "596 Switch" about the 1997 season when he led Washington State to its first Rose Bowl in six decades. Last year, Leaf had surgery to remove a benign tumour from his brain stem and later underwent additional radiation treatments. Leafs publicist released a statement from the ex-quarterback after his first arrest March 30 that said Leaf has "made some mistakes and have no excuses" but that he is "confident that there will be further understanding when the facts are revealed."Buccaneers Alterraun Verner Camo Jersey . -- Nine drivers have already clinched spots in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. Buccaneers Alterraun Verner Lights Out Jersey . -- Alex Anthopoulos spoke volumes with what he didnt say on right-hander Ervin Santana.NEW YORK -- Mets rookie Eric Campbell earned a start in left field because of his bat. He should be getting even more playing time because of his glove. In his first career major league game in the outfield, Campbell doubled Yasiel Puig off second base after making a spectacular diving catch in the eighth that helped preserve New Yorks 5-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Thursday night. "As it always goes, put a guy in for his offence and his defence saves the game," manager Terry Collins said. Campbell had a sacrifice fly in the first inning and is hitting .368 in his first eight big league games. Collins said he is going to use the versatile 27 year old who plays mostly at the corner infield spots at second base and shortstop, too. Campbell, who even worked out a bit behind the plate to be the Mets emergency catcher with Travis dArnaud on the 7-day concussion list, is ready. "I can handle it," Campbell said of playing second and short. "Just fielding a groundball and throwing to first." Jonathon Niese (3-3) hit an RBI double to provide himself some much-needed run support and pitched seven sharp innings for New York, which won for just the sixth time in 20 games this month and avoided a three-game sweep. Juan Lagares had a go-ahead RBI single in the seventh. The dynamic yet, at times, frustrating Puig made a sensational catch of his own on a sinking liner to right-centre that was so good it elicited a warm ovation from the 23,416 in attendance. But he made two baserunning mistakes that could have cost the Dodgers runs. "Thats one of the best catches Ive ever seen," Campbell said. "That was crazy." Zack Greinkes stretch of 21 straight starts allowing two or fewer runs ended. A mark that hasnt been matched since at least 1914 was done in by some sloppy play. "Just in my experience, weve played incredible defence when Im pitching throughout the years," Greinke said, "so, if someone makes one mistake in one game, you cant really say too much." Dodgers centre fielder Matt Kemp bobbled Curtis Grandersons drive in the first inning to right-centre, allowing Granderson to take third base on a double in a 12-pitch at-bat. Granderson then scored on Campbells sacrifice fly. In the fifth, third basemann Justin Turner failed to glove Daniel Murphys slow grounder that allowed Niese to score for a 3-1 lead.Buccaneers Lavonte David Authentic Jersey. Niese reached on a well-struck RBI double to right-centre following Anthony Reckers double to a similar spot. Greinke was lifted after five, yielding four hits, three runs -- one earned -- two walks and four Ks. He has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 22 games. Niese then walked Chone Figgins, playing in place of Dee Gordon, to start the sixth. Figgins advanced to second on Puigs grounder to third when Murphy, the second baseman, dropped Wrights force attempt -- the call was upheld by replay. But Niese escaped unscathed when Puig ran into an out on an infield fly gone awry. Hanley Ramirez hit a high popup to second base. Murphy backed up under the ball but appeared to lose it in the lights. When the ball fell, Murphy hesitated and Puig jogged into second. Apparently thinking he was forced out, Puig wandered off second and was tagged out for the double play. "I didnt actually see the umpire give the signal," Puig said through a translator. "I felt it was a little bit too late and, by that time, I was already off the base. I thought it was going to be a double play and I was already off in that situation." The Dodgers tied it in the seventh, though, when Turner hit his first homer with the Dodgers after spending parts of four seasons with the Mets. "Hes welcome for that one," Niese said, joking. "For that one, just a mistake that he punched." Lagares RBI single off Chris Perez (0-2) s gave the Mets back the lead in the seventh. Granderson tripled in a run in the eighth for a 5-3 lead. Niese had received just five runs of support total in his previous four home starts. The left-hander has not allowed more than three earned runs in 12 starts. Jenrry Mejia pitched the ninth for his second save. He pitched a scoreless ninth Wednesday night making this his first back-to-back appearances since moving to the bullpen this month. NOTES: DArnaud (7-day concussion DL) was scheduled to do some on-field work before the game. If all goes well he should take batting practice on the field Friday. ... Up next: The Dodgers head to Philadelphia on Friday and the Mets play host to the Arizona Diamondbacks. ' ' '
