Court date set for Jets’ Rashard Robinson after marijuana arrest

Jets cornerback Rashard Robinson has a court date set for Jan. 29 after he was arrested last month for marijuana possession and careless driving.

Robinson missed his initial court date on Monday, according to Hanover (N.J.) Township police captain David White. White said the court has allowed Robinson another chance to make his appearance.

Every NFL player who is arrested is subject to a fine or suspension under the league’s conduct policy.

“This is a pending legal matter and we will not have any comment,” a Jets spokesman said Wednesday.

According to police, Robinson, 23, and passenger Johnny Thompson, 23, were pulled over for a motor vehicle violation when an officer detected the smell of marijuana.
