Morgantown, WV (Sports Network) - Chicago Bears linebacker J.T. Thomas was
arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession of marijuana after he was
pulled over early Monday morning going the wrong way on a one-way street.
Thomas was stopped at 3:55 a.m. in Morgantown, according to West Virginia
MetroNews Network.
The criminal complaint says Thomas pulled a bundle from his glove compartment
after he was asked to provide his registration and it contained two plastic
bags of a green leafy substance that appeared to be marijuana, according to
the report.
The Bears released a statement later Monday saying they were aware of the
incident and "are currently gathering information to learn more about the
circumstances surrounding the arrest."
Thomas played college football in Morgantown for West Virginia but did not
appear in a game for the Bears during his rookie season. He was in Morgantown
for the weekend raising money for his foundation, West Virginia MetroNews
Network reported.
