Georgia receiver Riley Ridley's misdemeanor possession of marijuana arrest began after another car nearly collided with the one he was a passenger in.
Ridley, 20, was riding in a white Chevrolet Camaro with a Alexis Turner, 22, of Athens. The two were almost struck by another vehicle at an intersection after Turner failed to yield into oncoming traffic when turning left from Alps Rd. onto Baxter St. A police officer patrolling the area in his squad car then pulled Turner over for failing to yield as a result of the near accident.
The officer wrote in the arresting report that he smelled "raw marijuana" coming from the window and asked Turner if any drugs or weapons were in the vehicle.
