Vikings running back Roc Thomas faces felony marijuana possession charge

Roc Thomas, a running back who played in five games for the Vikings last season, faces felony possession of marijuana charges in Dakota County, according to a criminal complaint.

"We are aware of the charges filed against Roc Thomas and have expressed our disappointment directly to Roc for his actions," the Vikings said in a statement. "We will respect both the legal process and the NFL's disciplinary process."

Thomas, 23, was arrested on Jan. 16 as officers executed a search warrant on his Mendota Heights apartment, where the complaint says officers found more than 143 grams of marijuana and nearly $16,000 in cash.
