According to a report by TribLive.com, Steelers running back Benny Snell was pulled over for speeding in Harrison County, Ohio, on August 30.
During the stop, a bag of marijuana was discovered in Snell’s car.
Snell was originally slapped with a drug charge, but that charge has since been withdrawn.
Here is an excerpt of the report:
Snell, who the Steelers selected in the fourth round of the NFL draft, admitted to smoking marijuana about 20 minutes before he was pulled over for speeding Aug. 30 on Route 250 in Harrison County, Ohio, according to a report released by the county’s sheriff’s office.
Snell, 21, of Westerville, Ohio, initially faced a drug charge after Deputy Nathan Stuckey found 2.74 grams of marijuana in a plastic baggie with a Star Wars logo on it that was in a bag on the passenger seat of the car, according to Stuckey’s report.
The drug charge was withdrawn, as is common practice in Ohio in cases involving small amounts of marijuana, according to Jack Felgenhauer, assistant prosecuting attorney for Harrison County.
