LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Atlanta Falcons defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux has been arrested and charged with marijuana possession.
Gwinnett County Police Cpl. David Schiralli says Babineaux was arrested during a traffic stop on Interstate 85 in suburban Atlanta around 10:45 p.m. Thursday.

Schiralli says the 28-year-old Babineaux had nearly 1½ ounces of marijuana and is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Intent to distribute charges can be brought any time someone has more than an ounce.

Babineaux also faces charges for having expired registration and driving without a license.
He was released from the Gwinnett County jail Friday morning on $8,300 bond.

A spokesman for the Falcons did not immediately return phone calls seeking comment.

Only way they charge him with distribution along with possesion is if her had any baggies or if he had several different sandwich bags filled with da tree. And who dont smoke da good herb?

around here anything over .5 oz can be a resale charge is how ive always understood it.

1.5 oz is quite a bit. he sure as hell wasnt smoking it all by himself.

the distribution charge wont stick, he wont get serious trouble from the police - probably probation and of course an NFL adjusted fine.

what bothers me is the expired registration. how dumb must you be to drive around with bad tags, no license, and a large sack of weed.

1.5 oz's of weed & get hit w/intent to distribute? the dark ages?

Nowhere else in North America are there more stringent and absurd marijuana laws than here in the Deep South (LA, MS, AL, GA, FL)
