Montana State football players Naijiel Hale and Darren Gardenhire were arrested Wednesday for allegedly selling Xanax, according to Whitney Bermes of the Bozeman Daily Chronicle.

Hale, 21, was charged with two counts of felony distribution of dangerous drugs and misdemeanor possession of dangerous drugs, while Gardenhire, 20, was charged with one count of felony distribution of dangerous drugs.

Per Bermes' report, an informant with the Missouri River Drug Task Force arranged to buy Xanax from Hale in February, though Hale then told the informant to meet up with Gardenhire on the day of the sale.
