It turns out Cincinnati Bengals running back Mark Walton has had two run-ins with the law this offseason.
Walton, who faces a battery charge after an arrest in Miami over the weekend, was also arrested in January on a misdemeanor marijuana possession charge.
David Ovalle of the Miami Herald, who broke the first story, added more details: “The marijuana charge does not appear yet on the online court docket — Walton was not jailed, but instead signed a document promising to appear in court. Prosecutors on Monday revealed the charge, two days after Walton was jailed on the unrelated misdemeanor battery charge.”
As Ovalle notes, the January incident alone isn’t a massive ordeal — but it could run afoul of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
Regardless, the Bengals have a decision to make on the 2018 fourth-round pick once the legal process plays out.
