Dalton High School senior fullback Hunter Cleary, after being arrested last Friday for selling marijuana-laced brownies at the school, is no longer a member of the football team, according to coach Matt Land.
“Hunter is no longer with the team,” Land confirmed. “Because this is a discipline matter with the school, I cannot comment any further.”
Cleary, 18, was charged and jailed at the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office on five counts, including the intent to sale marijuana and the possession of a controlled substance within 1,000 feet of a school. He was charged also with possession of less than an ounce of marijuana and possession of alcohol by a minor.
He was released on $5,000 bond later that day.
