Smith, 41, of Denver and his brother, Chris, of suburban Lakewood, were both charged with conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute more than 500 grams of cocaine, U.S. attorney's spokesman Jeff Dorschner said Friday.If convicted, each faces 10 years to life in prison and a fine of up to $4 million.
Authorities said the investigation has resulted in the seizure of about 2.8 pounds of cocaine and unspecified assets worth about $100,000. Search warrants were executed on houses in Denver and Lakewood, authorities said.
Smith rushed for a Super Bowl-record 204 yards and two touchdowns in the Redskins' 42-10 victory over the Denver Broncos in 1988. He gained weight the following season and never performed at the same level. He last played in the NFL in 1990 with the Dallas Cowboys.
He worked this summer as a youth counselor and participated in several youth football camps, authorities said.
He was in custody and had not yet been appointed an attorney, Dorschner said.
