William Guthrie, who was kept from competing for a spot on the U.S. Olympic boxing team last summer because he failed a drug test, was arrested in St. Louis on a cocaine charge Thursday, a day after he had won his second professional bout.
Guthrie, 22, was being held on a charge of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
A St. Louis police detective said in an affidavit accompanying the federal complaint that he had been told by an informer that Guthrie would sell cocaine to the informer. The informer arranged to buy four ounces of cocaine from Guthrie June 15 on a St. Louis street corner.
