Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon is once again in trouble with the law.
Blackmon was arrested in Edmond Oklahoma and charged with possession of marijuana. Edmond Police stopped Blackmon for a traffic violation and could smell marijuana coming from his car. A search of the vehicle turned up marijuana and Blackmon was taken into custody. He posted bail shortly after and was released from custody.
Blackmon is already serving an indefinite suspension for his third violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy.
This was Blackmon's third arrest since entering the league. He was arrested in Dallas Texas in 2010 on a misdemeanor DUI charge. He was arrested again in June 2012 this time in Stillwater Oklahoma and charged with DUI after a failed breathalyzer test during a traffic stop. He was placed in the NFL's substance abuse program at that time.
Blackmon's future with the Jaguars and with NFL is uncertain at best. The owner, coaches and players have all stressed that Blackmon is in need of help and hope he will get his life on track.
Jaguars will start rookie receivers Marqise Lee and Allen Robinson in place of Blackmon and Ace Sanders who is suspended the first four games of the regular season.
