Justin Blackmon Arrested [Again]: Jacksonville Jaguars Star Busted For Weed Amid NFL Suspension, Twitter Fans React, #TalentWasted
Justin Blackmon - the Jacksonville Jaguars star already suspended for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy - was arrested again on Wednesday (July 23) for marijuana possession.
According to TMZ, cops pulled-over 24-year-old Blackmon in Oklahoma after he erratically swerved around two other vehicles into oncoming traffic. An officer smelt weed during the traffic stop procedure, so quickly handcuffed Blackmon to conduct a search of the car. The policeman noted, "I noticed that he was rather large in stature and appeared to be physically fit."
Blackmon then admitted to having two blunts in the Chrysler 300 sedan. One was smoked, the other still fresh.
The popular wide receiver was arrested and booked in a nearby jail for possession of weed and "improper passing on the left."
Despite this:
