http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/21/leveon-bell-legarrette-blount-officially-charged-with-marijuana-possession/Steelers running backs LeVeon Bell and LeGarrette Blount are in Philadelphia to play the Eagles on Thursday, but they were in Pittsburgh on Wednesday when police found marijuana in a car the two men were in.
They were arrested and, on Thursday, formally charged with crimes. Ross Township Police detective Brian Kohlhepp informed PFT that Blount and Bell are both charged with marijuana possession, as was Mercedes Dollson, a 21-year-old woman who was also in the car at the time of the stop.
Bell, who was driving, has also been charged with driving under the influence of marijuana.
Theres no word on court dates at this point and the cases should take some time to make their way through the legal system. Until they do, it is unlikely that either player will face league discipline that could threaten their availability for games this season.
