Former Gators wide receiver Antonio Callaway, a rookie with the Cleveland Browns, was cited for marijuana possession and driving with a suspended license, according to multiple reports.

Strongsville (Ohio) police pulled Callaway, 21, over Sunday “at 3 a.m. for failing to yield to oncoming traffic,” according to TV station Fox 8 in Cleveland.

According to ESPN Cleveland, Strongsville Deputy Chief John Janowski said the marijuana possession “was small enough to be regarded as a minor misdemeanor under Ohio law.”

ESPN Cleveland, which obtained the police report, also reported Callaway is due in court Thursday.

Callaway’s off-the-field troubles aren’t new. He failed a drug test at the NFL Combine this year, was suspended from UF for an investigation into a credit card fraud scheme, had marijuana possession in 2017 and was alleged to committed sexual battery in 2016, according to the Associated Press.
