Indianapolis Colts' Darrell Reid, a 24-year-old Freehold native, was stopped by police on a downtown street early Saturday after they received an anonymous call reporting an intoxicated person. The officer who responded noticed a strong smell of marijuana and saw a small plastic bag in the open door of Reid's rental car that contained marijuana, police said.
Reid was arrested on suspicion of possession of less than 50 grams of marijuana, obstruction and possession of a controlled dangerous substance in a motor vehicle, which are all misdemeanors. He was released Saturday after making bail and is scheduled to appear in municipal court Tuesday afternoon, according to Lt. Mark Wodell.
It will be interesting to see what the Colts' brass plans to do about this. They put and preach a premium on character all the time, but Reid is a pretty solid young backup DT for us at a pretty thin position for us right now. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It's just a shame that some players in the NFL can't do "more productive" things with their spare time.
