      CORNING, AR (KAIT) -

      A former NFL linebacker stopped for speeding in Corning got sidelined Saturday when police say they found drugs in his car.

      Just before 8:30 p.m. 25-year-old Eric Lamont Martin, Jr. of Rosharon, TX, was stopped for doing 64 in a 45 mile-an-hour zone, according to a news release from the Corning Police Department.

      While talking with Martin, the officer noticed the smell of marijuana.

      A K9 officer was called to the scene and, following a run around the exterior, reportedly alerted on Martin’s vehicle.

      “The driver then stated he had marijuana in the vehicle at that time,” the release said.

      Officers searched Martin’s car and found a bag of “self-rolled cigarettes that field-tested positive for marijuana.” They also reported finding drug paraphernalia and 9 grams of suspected marijuana in a suitcase in the trunk of the car.

      Police arrested Martin and took him to the Corning Police Department. When he was unable to post bond, they transferred him to the Clay County Detention Center where he later bonded out. He is due in court on August 8.

      Martin, who is a Canadian Football League linebacker with the Toronto Argonauts, played for the New England Patriots from 2014 to 2015.

      Region 8 News reached out to the Toronto Argonauts for comments, but the team declined to comment at this time.

They better get while they can. Wont be long no one will be arrested for a small amount of the green. I cannot wait to see that day. Absolutely silly that it is still illegal. .

You get it as a lot are starting to. Time to put the dealer out of business and legalize, tax and regulate. Its coming. Its ok to be against it and think we shouldn't use it but understand all the bad things that prohibition causes.

Worked in a hospital for 32 years and can state without a doubt that the NUMBER ONE cause of car wrecks, gun shot wounds, stabbings, injuries from fights, and deaths, not to mention increased car insurance rates for all of us, is ALCOHOL. Just make it illegal and presto you reduce all those problems, oh wait, that was tried once before and that led to an increase in crime, gangland murders, and making bootleggers rich. Not to mention it probably didn't keep anyone who wanted to drink from doing so. Honestly don't remember one single car wreck where the driver was under the influence of pot, as stated in a police report. Kinda like the whole "War on drugs" thing. We've spent billions trying to keep adults from doing what they want to do to themselves, and have zero to show for it. We have however caused the price to continue to climb thereby making it more profitable for the drug dealers, which in turn has led to more violence, murder, and mayhem, than could be imagined. And if we ever do "BUST" a big time drug dealer, his family members or a rival gang or cartel just steps in and takes over his business the next day, so we've accomplished absolutely nothing, but spending a ton of tax payer dollars that could be much better spent on other things. Simple way to end the violence, and run every drug dealer in the world out of business, just legalize all drugs and watch the price drop, thereby ending any incentive to get in the business. Isn't it funny that cops, church groups, AND drug dealers are all in agreement about keeping drugs illegal. That alone should tell us something.

Excellent post. Don't quote me on this, but I believe if marijuana was legalized in the US, 70% of the cartel's revenue would be gone.

Oh... and marijuana was made illegal because of the influx of Mexicans in the early 1900s. The state of Texas used marijuana as the reason to detain and deport Mexicans; the public failed to realize that marijuana (an unfamiliar term at the time) and cannabis were the same thing... thanks Anslinger
