Packers DT Letroy Guion arrested for gun, marijuana possession; $190K seized
Green Bay Packers nose tackle Letroy Guion was arrested Tuesday night in Starke, Fla., and charged with possession of marijuana and a gun. Police also seized over $190,000 during the stop. When you add all of Guion’s possessions together, it gives off an appearance that he was in the drug dealing business.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Guion was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane. The officer noticed the all-too-familiar strong odor of marijuana coming from the DT’s new Dodge Ram truck. The officer checked out the truck, noticed Guion was getting extremely possessive and defensive over a particular bag in the truck and handcuffed him.
Here’s the good stuff via the Journal Sentinel’s Tyler Dunne:
Inside the bag, police found bags of 190 and 167 grams of marijuana for the total of 357 grams — 0.78705 of a pound — and Guion was placed under arrest.
In the process, the officer also found the $190,028.81 in the middle pocket of the bag.
Everything was seized and the vehicle was towed.
Dunne shared a photo of what was seized and it looks like a scene out of “Scarface”:

A 9mm semiautomatic gun was also found on him. Guion is facing two felony possession charges and was released on $100,000 bond.
A former 5th-round pick out of Florida State, Guion had 22 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season, which was his first with the Packers after spending his entire career with the Vikings.
