One of these days, every single state in the Union — along with the federal government — will fall in line and come to their senses when it comes to weed. Until then, we’ll continue bringing you stories like this one.
According to the Omaha World-Herald, two Nebraska football players, safety Marquel Dismuke (pictured) and walk-on defensive back Jeramiah Stovall, were cited by Lincoln Police Department officers Friday night. Stovall was cited for possessing less than an ounce of marijuana while Dismuke received a citation for driving on a suspended license.
The twin citations came after Dismuke’s vehicle was pulled over for failing to display a front license plate.
“We are aware of the incident and are addressing it,” a Nebraska official said in a very brief statement.
After playing in 19 games (one start) the past two years, Dismuke is a front-runner for a starting job entering summer camp. This past season, Stovall was named as NU’s Special Teams Player of the Year.
