AUSTIN – Former Texas cornerback Tarell Brown of North Mesquite posted bond and was released from the Williamson County Jail on Friday after being charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession. It's the second time Brown has been charged with a misdemeanor in the last seven months.
Brown's attorney, Jamie Balagia of Austin, said Brown was the passenger in a car that was pulled over by police for a routine traffic stop Thursday. After police discovered there was an outstanding arrest warrant for the driver, authorities found a baggie with marijuana residue inside the car, Balagia said.
"Tarell Brown had nothing to do with the residue found by police. It belonged to the driver," Balagia said. "But in Williamson County, they arrest everyone in the car. Brown doesn't do drugs, has never done drugs and plans on taking a drug test to show everyone exactly that."
The Class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
Brown hopes to be selected in next month's NFL draft. He performed for NFL scouts during Texas' pro timing day Wednesday, running the 40-yard dash in 4.4 seconds. Brown started 35 games for Texas, including 11 of 13 games last season. One of his missed starts last season – in September against Ohio State – was because of a one-game suspension connected to a misdemeanor gun charge.
Last September, Brown was a passenger in the back seat of a car driven by former Texas linebacker Aaron Harris of North Mesquite when police pulled the car over for erratic driving. Authorities found a "blunt" marijuana cigarette in the car and found Brown in the back seat, asleep with a pistol belonging to Texas linebacker Tyrell Gatewood in his lap.
Misdemeanor drug possession charges against Brown and Gatewood, who was also in the car, were dropped after Harris accepted ownership of the marijuana. The misdemeanor gun charge against Brown is pending.
