Former first round pick Rolando McClain has been arrested. According to TMZ Sports, McClain was arrested in Alabama.
McClain was going 70 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. When police pulled him over, they smelled marijuana in his vehicle. Eventually they found marijuana.
McClain told police he had a gun inside his vehicle. He claimed the firearm did not belong to him.
McClain was determined not to have a license to carry a concealed weapon.
When all was said and done, McClain was charged with speeding, possession of a concealed weapon without a permit and misdemeanor unlawful possession of marijuana.
The passenger in McClain’s vehicle, Detrick Mostello, was also arrested. He was charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana.
As expected, NFL fans are disappointed that McClain is in legal trouble again.
