Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been arrested a third time, this time in Edmond, Oklahoma, where police have charged him with possession of marijuana.
Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon, who is serving an indefinite suspension after his third violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, was arrested in Oklahoma for possession of marijuana.
Several Oklahoma television stations, including KWTV News 9 in Oklahoma City, reported that Edmond Police Department officers that stopped Blackmon for a traffic violation could smell the odor of marijuana coming from his car. Police searched the car and found marijuana and took Blackmon into custody.
He has posted bail and has been released from custody.
Blackmon is currently serving an indefinite suspension after his third violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy. He was suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season because of his second violation, which occurred sometime in the offseason after the 2012 season in which he caught 64 passes for 865 yards and five touchdowns.
This is Blackmon's third arrest, and second in Oklahoma. He was arrested in Texas in 2010 on a misdemeanor DUI charge (later reduced to underage alcohol possession) after police officers caught him speeding outside of Dallas. He was arrested again in May 2012 during a traffic stop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, after a breath test allegedly showed his blood alcohol content to be three times the legal limit.
That arrest put him in the NFL's substance abuse program.
