Authorities in Florida arrested free-agent NFL safety Matt Elam on charges of grand theft and battery, TMZ Sports reported Monday.
It's Elam's second arrest in the space of three months after police in Miami pulled him over and searched his vehicle in February. According to ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley, officers found 126.2 grams of marijuana and six oxycodone pills in that incident.
Among the charges, Elam received one count of cannabis possession and one count of possession of a controlled substance.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told Hensley the league was "looking into the incident."
