Cue the hot takes about college football players and marijuana. Baylor running back Devin Chafin was arrested and charged for possession of marijuana Friday morning following a traffic stop in Oklahoma. Baylor has suspended Chafin.
“Devin has been suspended until further information is gathered,” Baylor head coach Art Briles said in a released statement.
Chafin and one other person were stopped on a highway just after 8:00 a.m., at which point it was discovered they were in possession of marijuana and marijuana candy that was purchased in Colorado during spring break. The traffic stop occurred in Oklahoma, where marijuana is not legal the way it is in Colorado.
