STARKE, FL (WTAQ) – Green Bay Packers’ defensive lineman Letroy Guion was charged Wednesday with possession of marijuana and a firearm in his hometown of Starke Florida.
Both counts are felonies.
Police stopped the 27-year-old Guion late Tuesday night for not driving in a single lane — and the officer smelled marijuana in the player’s pickup truck.
Police officials posted photos Wednesday of the drugs they claim to have seized — 357 grams of pot, plus a semi-automatic handgun and $190,000 in cash.
According to police reports, Guion asked the officer if he knew who he was — and after he left the vehicle, the player became “uncooperative and hostile” once police secured the gun. The officer said Guion rushed to the vehicle to take a package from the front passenger side — and the Packer was handcuffed at that point.
He was jailed at last word under a $100,000 bond.
Guion signed with Green Bay as a free agent from Minnesota last spring. He had three-and-a-half sacks this past season, as he started all year in place of the injured B.J. Raji.
Guion is the first Packer to be arrested since Erik Walden in 2011.
