Mizzou dismisses freshman DB following second arrest for pot possession

It appears that Missouri safety Ka’ra Stewart didn’t learn from his first arrest for marijuana possession.

Stewart, a freshman who redshirted this year, was detained on Nov. 9 for possession of fewer than 35 grams of marijuana. Just over a month later, Stewart was busted again for pot possession, according to multiple media outlets.

University of Missouri police entered Stewart’s dorm room Monday because of marijuana odor coming from the room. Though Stewart told police he was not smoking and did not consent to a search, officers obtained a warrant and found four bags that later tested positive for marijuana.

Stewart was taken to jail and later released on $500 bond. Missouri has since dismissed Stewart from the team.

Stewart is the fourth Mizzou freshman to be arrested for marijuana possession in the past couple of months. In October, freshmen Dorial Green-Beckham, Torey Boozer and Levi Copelin were arrested by university police for the same charge.
