According to the Monroe News, two Wolverines were in a car that was pulled over by Michigan State Police last week.

Sources said a small amount of marijuana and tablets of Vicodin, a painkiller, were found in the car. A passenger in the car apparently told police at the scene that he had a legal prescription for the Vicodin, but it was not in his possession.

Two other people in the car had the marijuana, according to sources.

The traffic stop occurred on a midweek afternoon last week, while the three were heading south on US-23 near Ida West Rd. in Summerfield Township. The car was stopped for a traffic violation.
...
Lt. Burnside said the traffic stop and investigation were handled as they typically are. No arrests were made because the amount of marijuana in the car was small.

"They were released, not because of who they are," Lt. Burnside said. "I can't think of anyone going to jail based on those circumstances.

We don't want to be accused of being false rumor mongerers but a source familiar with the situation (hey, if ESPN can use those "sources", so can we) told us that one of the players was Mario Manningham. Well, Mario, if this recent draft has proven anything, it's that smoking pot has no effect on your draft position so, by all means, partake. Just cut it out before Goodell gets a hold of you.
