Well, you rarely get information about these kinds of career moves.
A routine drug investigation led investigators from the state attorney general’s office to a sophisticated prostitution and drug ring operated by a former NFL and University of Pittsburgh lineman and a Plum woman.
The business advertised extensively in City Paper to solicit customers and recruit employees, while principles John Robert “Buck” Buczkowski and Amy Schifano used cellular telephones to stay in touch with drug sources, dealers and the prostitutes in their employ, according to documents filed yesterday with criminal charges by Attorney General Tom Corbett.
…
Buczkowski, who helped collect debts from reluctant prostitution customers in addition to his other duties, is charged with 11 criminal charges, including criminal conspiracy, possession and delivery of a controlled substance, promoting prostitution and participating in a corrupt organization.
Let’s hope the City Paper can withstand the loss of advertising.
Actually, the Trib coverage has a little more fun with this.
Bob Buczkowki’s second career ended much like his first — in a bust.
Authorities on Thursday charged the former University of Pittsburgh defensive tackle and first-round NFL draft pick with leading a $1 million prostitution and drug ring in Monroeville.
Buczkowski, 41, of Monroeville, who made ESPN’s “Biggest First-Round Busts” list of the worst-performing NFL first-round picks, helped run an escort service along with his girlfriend, Amy Schifano, 29, of Plum, authorities said.
Buczkowski was the “muscle” behind the operation, and Schifano was the “madam,” state Attorney General Tom Corbett said, announcing an 18-month grand jury investigation that resulted in charges against 10 people.
“This case is about sex, drugs and money, plain and simple,” Corbett said at a news conference outside Monroeville police headquarters. “These defendants created a criminal enterprise designed to profit from sexual exploitation and drug addiction.”
…
Buczkowski was considered one of the best prep linemen in the country his senior year at Gateway High School, and a former Pitt football coach said Buczkowski had “natural athletic ability” and would be a “good choice in the (NFL) draft.”He was selected by the Los Angeles Raiders as the 24th pick in the first round of the 1986 NFL Draft. He went on to play for the Phoenix Cardinals in 1989 and the Cleveland Browns in 1990 before he was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 1991. Plagued by back problems, Buczkowski was cut by Seattle in August 1991 after five years in the NFL.
I’m guessing they weren’t working the high end whores, or the market for prostitution is really depressed in Pittsburgh. It wasn’t meth whore prices, but not escort level. The prices were apparently $150-$200 per, um, appointment.
