The Kansas City Chiefs are in the middle of an unbelievable season for the franchise. They are currently 9-0 and in first place in the AFC. If you thought before the season that would happen well you were lying to yourself. They have steered clear of the off the field problems until now when star receiver Dwayne Bowe was arrested for marijuana possession and speeding. Hit the jump for more.

Bowe was pulled over shortly before midnight on Saturday for doing 48 mph in a 35 mph zone. The officer detected the strong odor of marijuana coming from the car. After a subsequent search by a police K-9 dog, more than 10 grams of marijuana were found in two containers in Bowe’s car. The K-9 also found 4.2 grams of marijuana in a backpack in Bowe’s car. A passenger, identified by police as George A. Thompson, told police the backpack belonged to him. Two hand-rolled cigarettes containing 2.2 grams of what police believe to be marijuana were found on Thompson, who was arrested for possession of a controlled substance.
Now being arrested for speeding and a small amount of weed is not the end of the world. However if his arrest leads to him being suspended by the NFL, then it does become a bigger problem for the Chiefs, who are heading into the most anticipated game of the season against the Broncos this Sunday.
