RACINE — Former University of Wisconsin star running back Brent Moss on Monday pleaded no contest to cocaine possession in an effort to resolve two drug cases.

Moss, 45, of Racine, was charged on April 11 with a felony cocaine possession charge and a misdemeanor charge of resisting an officer.

According to the criminal complaint, Moss was a passenger in a car that was stopped by Racine police on Ninth Street near Park Avenue for turning without using a signal.

As officers asked the driver for insurance information, Moss allegedly made suspicious movements with his hands and arms, the complaint said. Believing Moss had a weapon, police removed him from the vehicle, where he struggled with officers and refused to get on the ground.

One of the officers used his Taser to incapacitate Moss, the complaint said. A search of the car’s front seat where Moss was sitting revealed a folded up piece of paper containing what later tested to be cocaine, the complaint said.

Two months later — while out on bond on the cocaine charge — Moss was arrested on four more felonies: manufacturing or delivering heroin in amount of three grams or less, delivery of a counterfeit drug and two bail jumping charges.
