Former UConn Huskies linebacker and current member of the Carolina Panthers practice squad, Lawrence Wilson, was arrested on Wednesday afternoon for speeding and possession of marijuana.
According to the Salisbury Post, Wilson was doing 76 MPH in a 65 MPH zone. After being pulled over, the officer smelled an odor of marijuana on Wilson which was enough probable cause to search the car.
Upon searching the car, the police found 11 grams (.39 ounces) of marijuana in his car. Lucky for him this is only a misdemanor in the state of North Carolina.
According to the article, the Carolina Panthers offered no comment on the situation.
Wilson was a sixth round pick of the Panthers in the 2011 NFL Draft and was cut before the season started. He was added to their practice squad after being cut.
