A former Penn State football player was in town this weekend. Why he was cited by police

Former Penn State wide receiver Saeed Blacknall was cited Saturday for possession of a small amount of marijuana.

State College police said Blacknall was driving a vehicle that was following too close to another vehicle at the intersection of East College Avenue and South Allen Street.

The officer then followed Blacknall, noticed an odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle and pulled it over at the Nittany Minit Mart and Sunoco gas station at 106 N. Atherton St.

The 22-year-old from Manalapan, N.J., was allegedly found to have less than 30 grams of marijuana and was fined $250.
