We told you early this morning that Mizzou WR Dorial Green-Beckham was arrested on felony drug charges but now some more details have emerged. It looks like there was a pound of weed in the car when it was stopped. From the St Louis Post-Dispatch:
Police pulled over McDaniel’s 1999 Jeep Cherokee when they noticed his license plates had expired in October 2013. When they made contact with McDaniel, they detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle. Officers found about a pound of marijuana and assorted drug paraphernalia, the release stated.
“It’s an ongoing investigation and we’re not going to comment now on the situation,” a Springfield police spokesman said, declining to share further details.
For what it’s worth, his family believes it was a matter of wrong place at the wrong time. His father sent this text to the Post-Dispatch:
“After being interviewed he was released. We feel very confident that the investigation will result in no charges against Dorial. Dorial very much regrets being in this situation and our family looks forward to this being resolved.”
No charges have been filed against the Mizzou star yet.
