In the first story of the offseason, of what is hopefully not a trend before Labor Day, an Alabama football player was arrested for second degree possession of marijuana. Today’s offender is Lester Cotton.
[Cotton] was pulled over at 11 p.m. Friday and arrested on marijuana possession charges, Tuscaloosa police confirmed Monday morning. Officers smelled marijuana during the traffic stop at the corner of Hackberry Lane and Paul Bryant Drive. Officers located an unspecified amount on a search of his vehicle.
Cotton was also booked on possession of drug paraphernalia.
Legally, what does this mean?
