Missouri pass-rusher Shane Ray was cited Monday morning for misdemeanor possession of up to 35 grams of marijuana by the Missouri Highway Patrol just outside of Columbia.
Ray was stopped for speeding at 5:46 a.m. and was also issued a citation for failure to drive in the right lane. The officer noted that Ray was cooperative and didn't show signs of impairment.
Released at the scene, Ray was never taken to the police station. He is due in court on June 30.
The timing of the pot citation couldn't be worse, coming less than a week after NFL Media draft analyst Lance Zierlein reported that some teams believe Ray will require toe surgery that could sideline him for three-to-five weeks.
