One of Auburn’s top defensive recruits in the Class of 2014 now has a legal bump in the road behind him. Defensive back Kalvarez Bessent was cleared on all drug-related charges from an arrest last week.
Bessent was charged for possession fo 20 grams of marijuana and for the intent to distribute last week during a traffic stop. He was charged along with two others during the traffic stop in Nassau County, Florida. This week the charges were dropped, including one for possession of drug paraphernalia found inside the car. A gun was also found in the car, although one of th other passengers in the car said the gun and the marijuana did not belong to Bessent.
“After meeting with the state attorney’s office yesterday, we are pleased to hear the state has decided there was no evidence to support the charges against Kalvaraz,” attorney Travis A. Reinhold said in a report by AL.com. “All charges have been dropped. From the beginning of this ordeal, Kalvaraz maintained he had no involvement in the alleged conduct and he is looking forward to graduating from Camden County (Ga.) High School and attending Auburn University.”
Rivals ranks Bessent as a four-star defensive back and the 13th top player in the state of Georgia.
