NORFOLK, Virginia (AFP) — Tim Montgomery, once hailed as the world's fastest man, can only sit in jail and wait until next week for a hearing after being indicted on heroin distribution charges.
Authorities said Friday that the 33-year-old former Olympic champion now disgraced as a dope cheat faces a Monday afternoon detention hearing before Judge F. Bradford Stillman who will decide whether to release him on bond.
Stillman can keep Montgomery in custody until his trial date, which is likely to be set in an arraignment that probably will be held Wednesday.
Montgomery, being kept in nearby Portsmouth city jail, faces charges from the US Attorney's Office of conspiracy to possess heroin with intent to distribute.
