But on Wednesday, his bond was revoked after a hearing before federal magistrate judge Joseph Wilkinson in New Orleans.In the hearing, it was revealed that Sears had removed the ankle monitoring bracelet that would report his location to authorities.According to a report from New Orleans television station WDSU and tweets from its reporter Travers Mackel http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-mitch-morse-jersey , Sears’ attorney and members of his immediate family — his mother Toya Robinson and his brother George Sears — made allegations of their own against Mathieu.As we told you on Tuesday, Mathieu was indeed in New Orleans over the weekend for a charity event.But Chad Cockerham of the New Orleans Police Department — assigned to the FBI task force that investigated the case — testified that because of the threats made against Mathieu, he had remained with him the entire weekend — and they never went near Sears’ home.Prosecutors accused defense attorneys of turning a simple bond hearing into a “mini-trial,” and claimed Sears had admitted to “smoking marijuana every day since he was 10 years old.” They said a drug test administered to Sears after his arrest tested positive for marijuana, tramadol and oxycodone. Prosecutors said that Sears had admitted to them that he used marijuana and tramadol Womens Xavier Williams Jersey , but not oxycodone.While testifying, Robinson read a text message she claimed was from Mathieu that threatened her life and those of her sons.She was asked where her sons were living when Sears started using drugs.“With Tyrann,” she replied.She also said, “My son is a good child. He got wrapped up in a different world.” Later she testified, “I want this to all go away Tyrann Mathieu Jersey , I want my son out of this federal situation and Tyrann to go on with his life.”On Wednesday evening, Mathieu’s agent Denise White released a statement describing the matter as a “very private and personal family issue.””He’s dealing with a family member who is dealing with a mental health issue,” said White. “Tyrann is fine. His family is fine. They are getting through.”Sears’ next scheduled court date in the extortion case is June 21.We will keep you updated with developments. The Chiefs scored the most points of any team in the NFL this season and it usually didn’t take them long to get going.Kansas City outscored their opponents 147-56 in the first quarter of games this season and their habit of playing from in front was the subject of a question for Patriots head coach Bill Belichick during a Tuesday conference call.“You always want to start fast,” Belichick said. “You always want to play from ahead. You always want to get off to a good start. But I think these are 60 minute games and this time of year you’re going to have to battle all the way through, but it’s always good to try to get off to a good start. There is I think historically no better fast starting team than the Chiefs. Coach [Andy] Reid’s always done a great job of that and they’ve outscored their opponents by I think it’s about 100 points or so this year.”“That’s a big advantage to play the last three quarters with. Certainly we don’t want to be in that position http://www.chiefslockerroom.com/authentic-anthony-sherman-jersey , nor do they I’m sure. But everybody’s going to compete for 60 minutes or longer, however long it takes this weekend and that’s what we have to be ready for. But yeah, of course we want to do well early and we want to do well in the fourth quarter too.”There were only four games this season that saw the Chiefs behind after the first 15 minutes of action. They lost three of those games, including their 43-40 loss to the Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Week Six.
