New Mexico running back Teriyon Gipson can’t outrun a past incident which has been brought to the spotlight, and could continue to have an effect both on and off the field.
Multiple reports confirm Gipson was arrested in January while in Dallas on a pair of misdemeanor charges for marijuana possession and unlawful possession of a firearm.
Gipson had eight outstanding warrants for traffic citations and failure to appear in court when he was arrested.
Although the gun charge was later dropped, Gipson still has an Oct. 27 court date related to the marijuana charge.
Head coach Bob Davie said he would describe the level of his disappointment as one a parent would have, but said he will not overreact to the situation.
