Da Bull arrested on drug charge
January 21, 2004
CHICAGO -- The man who portrays Da Bull, a mascot for the Chicago Bulls, was arrested Monday for allegedly selling marijuana outside the Cabrini-Green public housing complex, police said.
Chester Brewer, 31, who is in his ninth NBA season as the man beneath Da Bull's rusty brown fur, was arrested Monday night in the 500 block of West Locust Street and charged with marijuana delivery. He is scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 17 for a preliminary hearing.
Tim Hallam, a Bulls spokesman, confirmed that Brewer portrays Da Bull, half of the team's mascot duo that includes Benny the Bull. Brewer has worked part time for the Bulls since 1996, Hallam said.
Police officers said they saw Brewer, of the 900 block of North Cleveland Avenue, Chicago, selling marijuana from his car outside Cabrini and arrested him as he got out of the car, police spokeswoman Patrice Harper said.
Police found 6 ounces of marijuana in individual plastic bags inside a single paper bag in his possession, Harper said.
