Philly MMA trainer arrested in $1.2M drug bust

PHILADELPHIA - May 27, 2010

Philadelphia police Capt. James Kelly says 27-year-old Travis Roesler was arrested Wednesday. A subsequent search of his training gym in the University City neighborhood yielded 130 plants and two pounds of marijuana ready to be packaged.

Investigators put the value of the drugs at $1.2 million. Roesler faces charges of possession with intent to distribute.

Roesler played for Penn and had a short career as a mixed martial arts fighter. A voicemail left at a phone listing in his name was not immediately returned Thursday morning.
