Clemson All-American receiver Sammy Watkins was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana and a controlled substance on Friday. Watkins and soccer player Amadou-Tidiane Daniel Dia were stopped by university police after an officer saw the car scrape a curb and the temporary license tag was not lit. The police report said an officer smelled marijuana in the car and a subsequent search found two pills for which Watkins did not have a prescription. Dia was charged with marijuana possession, Watkins apologized and said he’d accept any penalties from Tigers coach Dabo Swinney or the university. “I made a mistake last night and I am truly sorry for my actions,” Watkins said in a statement. “I let the team down, the coaches down and this university down.” Swinney learned of the arrest Friday morning, he said he’ll gather information before deciding on any punishment. Watkins “is a good young man who has been a model student, citizen, player and teammate,” Swinney said. “This is a reminder that good people make poor decisions. But, there are consequences for your actions and there will be in this case.” Source: NCAA |
