((HT: nola.com/Adelson))

St. Tammany Parish deputies arrested former NFL player Terreal Bierria ((mugshot from St. Tammany Parish police is the picture)) for the murder of Soron Salter.

"We know that drugs was involved," St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Jack Strain said Tuesday. "We believe that the altercation began over the drugs. We think that was the first blow was from what we believe was a knife."

Bierria is charged with first-degree murder. He's being held in the St. Tammany Parish Jail without bond.

Bierria and Salter were childhood friends, investigators said, and played football together at Salmen High School. Bierria went from Salmen to the University of Georgia, then played two seasons as a defensive back with the Seattle Seahawks, in 2002 and 2004.

Bierria hasn't said word one to police...
Apparently, police uncovered a boatload of cocaine and a possible murder weapon in the house where Salter was found...

Sad...
