Details of Leroy Hill's arrest
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Linebacker Leroy Hill was arrested for marijuana possession early on Saturday morning in the metro Atlanta area. Sergeant Dwayne Taylor of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said that several 9-1-1 calls were made by citizens who observed a vehicle with the driver asleep at the intersection.
"One of the deputies found Mr. Leroy Hill passed out behind the wheel," Taylor said. "He smelled marijuana coming from Mr. Hill's car."
Hill was the only one in the car, which was a 1975 Buick Electra.
The deputy asked to search Hill's car, Hill consented to a search. The deputy found two bags of marijuana in a bookbag on the passenger seat. Hill was arrested and charged with misdemeanor possession because the amount is less than an ounce.
He also was charged with a traffic violation and an equipment violation because a brakelight was out.
