Police say Elam was pulled over for driving recklessly before officers found 126 grams of marijuana and three grams of oxycodone in his vehicle.
Elam, 25, was Baltimore’s first-round draft pick back in 2013. He is scheduled to become a free agent next month. Elam played primarily on special teams last season and has largely been a disappointment for the Ravens.
Had Elam stuck to the job he was working at a few offseasons ago, he may have been able to stay out of trouble with the law.
