For the third time in as many days, it’s time to set the “Days Without An Arrest” ticker back to double-zeroes.
The latest to trigger a reset is Jamar Johnson, with the Indiana defensive back arrested by university police officers Thursday night on a charge of resisting law enforcement. The arrest stemmed from said officers catching a whiff of (gasp!!!) the devil’s lettuce and said Johnson prematurely evacuating the scene.
From HoosierSportsReport.com:According to IUPD Lt. Kevin Lauerman, IUPD officers detected the odor of marijuana while conducting foot patrols in the area around the tennis courts of the Sembower Recreation Sports Fields Complex on Thursday night. The officers located two individuals nearby, one of whom ran away, Lauerman said.
“That person, Mr. Johnson, came back to the scene and was arrested for resisting,” Lauerman said.
In a statement, the football program said it’s aware of the incident and “will continue to gather facts, cooperate with and monitor the legal process, and take further action as the evolving situation warrants.”
Johnson was a three-star member of the Hoosiers’ 2018 recruiting class. As a true freshman, the Sarasota, Fla., native played in 10 games at safety and on special teams.
According to his official bio, he intercepted the first pass of his career in the September win over Rutgers and earned Special Teams Player of the Week honors in the October loss to Ohio State.
