Johnny Jolly's promising career with the Packers was derailed by a pair of arrests for drug possession that led to a nearly three-year suspension from the NFL.

Now he faces similar legal trouble again after being arrested last week in Houston and charged with possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance in a drug-free zone.

Online records show Jolly was arrested Aug. 14 and released on $20,000 bond two days later. Charging documents say he had between 28 and 200 grams of hydrocodone in his possession when he was detained near a day-care center.

Jolly's lawyer told the Houston Chronicle the pills were for the 34-year-old's grandmother.
