Jaelen Strong arrested for marijuana possession

Houston Texans wide receiver Jaelen Strong was arrested over the weekend and charged with possession of marijuana.

According to a Scottsdale Police Department report obtained by NFL Media, Strong was riding with Green Bay Packers cornerback Damarious Randall — a fellow former Arizona State player — in a black Maserati when police stopped the vehicle for having no visible license plate. Officers said they detected a strong marijuana odor “coming from the inside of the vehicle.”

“All of the occupants were questioned about the odor, if they had marijuana in their possession, and if they had a medical marijuana card,” the report stated. “Strong admitted that he was possession of some marijuana and advised that he did not have a medical marijuana card.”

Strong turned over a cigar box that contained three joints and was arrested on a pending charge of possession of marijuana.

Strong, who was taken in the third round by the Texans last year, caught 14 passes for 161 yards and a touchdown during his rookie season.
