Pitt’s Carl Fleming Arrested After Trying To Eat Bag Of Weed, Allegedly
Pittsburgh Panthers linebacker Carl Fleming was arrested on Friday night. He is being held on charges of drug possession and resisting arrest.
Bill Hanstock is a writer, author and Emmy Award-winning producer. He began writing for SB Nation in 2011.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Fleming was arrested on Friday night outside One Stop Mini Mart in Oakland, PA.
As Fleming exited the store and got into his Ford Taurus, police approached and attempted to stop him for a traffic violation. Fleming pulled away and attempted to hit the marked police car before crashing into a guard rail, according to a criminal complaint.
Fleming then shoved a plastic bag containing marijuana in his mouth and started to swallow, authorities said. Officers pulled Fleming from the car and, after failing to remove the bag, punched him, successfully dislodging the drugs from his mouth, the criminal complaint states.
Authorities claim that the player resisted arrest while being handcuffed. He is currently being held in lieu of a $10,000 bond and a preliminary hearing has been set for April 10.
Fleming has been suspended indefinitely by the Panthers as a result of the arrest.
