JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) – Suspended Jacksonville Jaguars receiver Justin Blackmon has been arrested in Oklahoma on a complaint of marijuana possession.
Blackmon, a former standout at Oklahoma State, was arrested Wednesday evening in the Oklahoma City suburb of Edmond. Police said they noticed his sedan go around stopped traffic in an attempt to get into a turn lane.
Police spokeswoman Jenny Monroe said an officer detected a “heavy smell of marijuana” coming from the car, and that Blackmon admitted had smoked “a blunt” while driving and had another in his vehicle.
Blackmon was arrested and booked into the Edmond jail, where he posted $657 bond.
Blackmon was suspended without pay indefinitely last November for repeated violations of the NFL’s substance-abuse policy. The Jaguars have been hesitant to cut the fifth overall pick in the 2012 draft.
