Mike Goodons finally beats weapons charge

Running back Mike Goodson is no longer in the NFL. But he also no longer has to worry about going to prison.

Via Ben Horowitz of NJ.com, a judge dismissed gun-possession charges against Goodson after his friend, Garant Evans, got five years behind bars after claiming responsibility for the gun.

Evans pleaded guilty to the crime in May 2015, telling prosecutors that Goodson did not know that the gun was present in a rented SUV back in May 2013.

The arrest happened after the GMC Yukon rented by Goodson but driven by Evans was found stopped in traffic at 3:30 a.
