Gets better for the jills.... Marcell Dareus arrested in Alabama Updated: May 6, 2014, 11:41 PM ET Associated Press 31 31 10 EMAIL PRINT HEFLIN, Ala. -- A county sheriff's office says Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl defensive lineman Marcell Dareus has been arrested in Alabama on drug charges. A jailer in Cleburne County in Heflin who would not give her name says Dareus was arrested Monday night by a state trooper and was released from the jail within an hour. She says he was arrested on a charge of possession of a controlled substance and drug paraphernalia. She did not have an attorney for him listed or a court date. Sheriff Joe Jacks also confirmed to WVUA-TV that Dareus was arrested. Dareus was selected third overall in the 2011 draft and is in his fourth season with the Bills. The 24-year-old played for Alabama. Last season he had 7.5 sacks and 71 tackles.
Guys, the Bills are going to be really good this year. I simply don't see how the Jets could beat them. Ask any Bills fan, they'll tell ya. This is the prime time of the year for Buffalo.
The arrest was apparently for "Spice", not actual marijuana. I don't know what the league policy is on arrests vs. failing drug tests off the top of my head. http://blog.al.com/wire/2014/05/buffalo_bills_star_and_former.html#incart_river
It didn't state the weight but I am pretty sure lesser weights of marijuana are a misdemeanor and as we can see from the report "Spice" possession is a felony. Not sure what the failing a drug test comparison is for. Did he also fail a test?
I referenced the drug test as a potential penalty by the NFL. That's to say, will the NFL suspend him because of this, or would it require actual marijuana possession? Or, if he failed a drug test for Spice, would that also be cause for a suspension?
I am pretty sure a felony drug possession conviction is going to be cause for some kind of penalty, being drugs are involved the increased testing is certainly on the table.
