Ex-Alabama receiver Ardarius Stewart arrested

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- Former Alabama and NFL receiver Ardarius Stewart has been arrested and charged with carrying a pistol without a license.

Tuscaloosa police say the 25-year-old Stewart was pulled over about 1:40 a.m. Thursday for driving with an expired tag. Passenger Demarcus Marshall was charged with unlawful possession of marijuana first degree.

Stewart was a third-round pick by the New York Jets in 2017. He was waived after serving a two-game suspension to start last season for violating the league's policy on performance enhancers.

Stewart caught six passes for 82 yards as a rookie. He was signed to Washington's practice squad in December and waived days later.
