COLUMBIA, MO. •
In his first high-profile discipline matter as Missouri’s new head football coach, Barry Odom suspended defensive tackle Terry Beckner Jr. after the star freshman was arrested Wednesday on suspicion of marijuana possession in Columbia.
MU police stopped Beckner at 9:34 p.m. for driving without his headlights near the intersection of Conley Avenue and Missouri Avenue on the MU campus, Major Brian Weimer said Thursday.
Officers detected the smell of marijuana coming from the car and found a clear Ziploc bag containing marijuana. Beckner was arrested on suspicion of possession of less than 35 grams.
