UF tailback Mark Thompson was cited for marijuana possession early Thursday morning and will not be allowed to play in Saturday's Georgia game.
Thompson was stopped at 12:35 a.m. Thursday after he ran a stop sign on West Fraternity Drive on the UF campus, according to a UF Police Department report.
UFPD spokesperson Maj. Brad Barber said the officer smelled the odor of marijuana in the car and after a search discovered Thompson in possession of fewer than 20 grams of the substance.
Thompson was given a notice to appear for the misdemeanor violation and also cited for failure to stop at a stop sign and failure to provide proof of insurance.
