Thomas charged with marijuana possession

FAIRHOPE, Ala. -- Former NFL running back Thurman Thomas was arrested over the weekend and charged with marijuana possession, according to police.

Thomas, who was in town to play in a charity golf tournament, was arrested at the Grand Hotel around 2 a.m. Saturday. He had one partially smoked marijuana cigarette in his possession and appeared to be under the influence of alcohol or marijuana, Fairhope police spokesman Cpl. Craig Sawyer said Monday.

Thomas, 37, was charged with second-degree possession of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor reserved for people who have the drug for personal use.

Thomas was booked at Fairhope City Jail and was released in time to play his round of golf Saturday morning.

"There was no disorderly conduct or belligerent behavior, and he did not resist arrest," Fairhope police Cpl. Craig Sawyer Monday.
I'm going to guess it was a nice hotel.

Who the hell gets arrested for possession of marijuana in a fancy, expensive hotel?

Something doesn't smell right here. It seems like Thurman Thomas is getting railroaded.

The fact that this happened in Alabama just adds to my suspicions.
