The offseason just started and we already have a couple of NFL arrests. Packers defensive tackle Letroy Guion was arrested for felony possession of marijuana and felony possession of a firearm in his hometown of Starke, Florida, according to a police report.
Guion was found to have 357 grams of marijuana after his truck was pulled over Tuesday night.
The officer who searched the truck also found more than $190,000 in one of the bags that the marijuana was located, according to the police report. Both the currency and truck were seized and secured due to the amount of marijuana found.
According to the police report, Guion was “extremely uncooperative and hostile” while the truck was initially searched. The officer reported that Guion “kept coming toward the vehicle several times saying, ‘Hey man, my money is in there. Don’t let him take my money.'”
Guion then was secured in handcuffs.
Guion, 27, joined the Packers last offseason and started every game. He signed a one-year, $1 million contract and had been in negotiations with the Packers about a long-term deal.
“We are aware of a serious matter involving Letroy Guion,” the Packers said in a statement. “We have not yet spoken to Letroy and we will have no further comment.”
Guion’s agent, Seth Katz, said Wednesday he was still gathering information about the arrest.
