Kareem Hunt Cited for Speeding Violation After Police Find Marijuana in His Car During Search
It wouldn't be an NFL offseason without drama surrounding the Cleveland Browns. Unfortunately for the front office, its troubled running back Kareem Hunt who's making the news.
Earlier this week, the RB was pulled over in Ohio, but police noted the smell of marijuana coming from the car. They ended up finding what they were looking for.

Per the police report, the officers on the scene were able to find pot in three different locations of the vehicle, including a backpack in the back seat. Fortunately for the 24-year-old, he wasn't charged with any drug offenses. However, he was cited for a traffic violation.
Hunt, who just wrapped up his first campaign in Cleveland, was in trouble with the law last year after video emerged of him getting into a fight with a young woman at a hotel. After that video hit the internet, the Kansas City Chiefs wasted no time in releasing him.

The car was registered in his moms name and he said the weed was his brothers. He was not charged for the marijuana.
Mult sources around Hunt emphatically say the weed was not his
Hunt denied the marijuana was his at the scene of the crime. The Browns will surely release a statement on this in the near future. For now, they can only hope Hunt stays out of trouble until training camp arrives.
