UK’s Jason Hatcher arrested on felony marijuana charge

Police say they found a pound of marijuana in Hatcher’s 2002 Chevrolet Tahoe. He also was charged with tampering with evidence, along with speeding and possession of drug paraphernalia. Police found three-quarters of a pound of pot in his vehicle and a quarter-pound on Hatcher’s person.

Hatcher, who will be a senior this fall, was a four-star recruit in UK’s 2013 signing class. But he hasn’t lived up to the hype. He has 5.5 sacks and 87 tackles in three seasons. He also has been suspended twice — for one game when he was a true freshman in 2013 and the first two games this past season.
