This comes after the Colts released Newsome in February following his arrest, per Mike Wells of ESPN.com. Police showed up at his apartment after a loud-music complaint was filed, and they took Newsome into custody because he was seen with marijuana.

Wells noted it was the second time in a three-week time frame police arrived at the linebacker’s apartment because of a loud-music complaint.
