As per TSN, said substance consisted of pills which were "clearly intended for personal use," so any wild rumors about distribution should be put to rest. In name, it's the same charge as the one Jarret Stoll faced earlier in the summer, but as mentioned above, there could still be additional details we're not aware of.
