TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Former Jets and Alabama receiver Ardarius Stewart has been arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license.
Tuscaloosa police say the 25-year-old Stewart was pulled over about 1:40 a.m. Thursday for driving with an expired tag. Passenger Demarcus Marshall was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana first degree.
Stewart was a third-round pick by the Jets in 2017. He was waived last October after serving a two-game suspension to start last season for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancers.
Stewart caught six passes for 82 yards as a rookie.
He was signed to Oakland’s practice squad in November, but waived two weeks later.
