Stoned Stupid: Buckeye Recruit Faces Felony

NBC 4: One of Ohio State’s top football recruits for this fall has been arrested by Miami police. Buckeye-to-be running back Jamaal Berry was cited by Miami police on charges of marijuana possession.

According to Miami court records, Berry was arrested with 28 grams of marijuana, which would be labeled a third-degree felony in Florida. His arraignment hearing is scheduled for July 2.

Berry, from Palmetto High School in Florida, was ranked as the fifth best running back in America by several recruiting services and is considered a candidate to get playing time as a true freshman for the Buckeyes. No comment was available from The Ohio State University.
