Denver Broncos defensive lineman Marcus Thomas was arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance on Sunday in his native Florida, the Jacksonville Times-Union reports. His lawyer, Charles Truncale, says he's innocent:
"He [Thomas] was in a vehicle in which a small plastic baggie containing what appeared to be a trace amount of cocaine was found. He [Thomas] did not possess it, nor did he have knowledge of it, until the stop of the vehicle. That's what happened. He is not guilty of the charge from which he has been arrested," Truncale told the Times-Union.Truncale said both the driver and Thomas were arrested because police didn't know which man to charge.
Maybe that's true, but it's hard to give Thomas the benefit of the doubt. His off-field problems include being suspended for most of his last season at Florida after a positive drug test, a curfew violation and failure to comply with his ordered drug rehabilitation class. Although Thomas is a promising player who played in all 16 games as a Broncos rookie, this is the kind of thing that could cost him his job.
