Back in April, Tampa Bay Lightning forward Ryan Malone got pulled over in Tampa, Fla. and arrested for DUI. Recently, the Tampa Bay Times got their hands on some discovery documents stemming from the incident and, believe it or not, Malone's arrest was even worse than it was originally thought to be.

According to the documents, police searched Malone after placing him under arrest back on April 11. And when they did, they found 1.3 grams of cocaine in one of his back pockets. But Malone was unable to tell police where the cocaine had come from and was said to be "baffled" by what the cops found.

"Oh my God," he told the arresting officer.

That excuse obviously didn't fly, though. So addition to getting hit with a DUI charge, Malone was charged with cocaine possession and is due in court on August 19 to answer to both charges.

Was Malone's "I don't know where that cocaine came from?" excuse the worst one you've ever heard or what? He sounded like "Chip" from this old Dave Chappelle bit.
