Marshawn Lynch Busted With Pot Too

Marshawn Lynch was recently arrested for possession of a concealed weapon in Culver City, California. It was a bizarre arrest because it occurred a week ago today and never really surfaced until this past weekend.

Additionally, how do you get caught with a concealed weapon in your car when you're a professional athlete? After all, that usually gets you a little leeway; particularly when the method of discovery is just a "field investigation." The short answer is that a car is much more likely to be searched if it reeks of marijuana smoke. At least that's the logic provided by Culver City Police Captain Dave Tankenson.

"They (officers) knocked on the window of the car. Someone unrolled the window. They saw three people in the car and they could smell a strong odor - marijuana coming from the car. They had the occupants exit so they could further investigate to see if there was any marajuana in the car. What they found were four, not marajuana cigarettes - what they call blunts or swisher sweets that appeared to contain marijuana in them," says Tankenson.

Tankenson says neither Lynch nor the other two individuals were charged with possession of marijuana because they could not determine who was smoking, or whom the cigarettes belonged to.

This is, um, not "good" for Marshawn, particularly since there has yet to be much of a comment from Roger Goodell and the NFL. As we mentioned before, Lynch is flirting perilously close with the Commissioner's personal behavior policies based on his run-ins with the law. Obviously the drug issue, combined with a firearm in his car, doesn't bode well for the Bills running back.

Of course, it appears there's a pretty good chance Lynch won't be charged with anything marijuana related. That's good news for his resumé, but considering Goodell puts little stock in the actual legal process when he determines NFL-sanctioned punishments, it might not matter a whole lot just how many blunts he had in his car.
