TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Alabama offensive lineman Lester Cotton was arrested over the weekend and charged with second-degree possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to a police report.
The report says Cotton was pulled over Friday night at a traffic stop where the officer searched the vehicle after detecting the odor of marijuana emitting from inside the vehicle.
"We are in the process of determining the facts in the situation with Lester Cotton," Alabama coach Nick Saban said in a statement. "We will discipline internally like we have done in the past."
Cotton is the first Alabama player arrested this offseason, but the team has had multiple off-field incidents over the past year.
