A new law in Nebraska may save three Nebraska football players from facing marijuana charges, according to a report from the Lincoln Journal Star.

Per the report, a hemp law in Nebraska is making it difficult for the Lancaster County Attorney’s office to find a way to press charges against the three Huskers. Right now, Maurice Washington, Jeremiah Stovall and Myles Farmer are not being charged as the office continues to evaluate the conditions of the new law.

Washington was cited on June 4, Stovall on July 12 and Farmer on July 22 for marijuana or paraphernalia-related issues.

From the Lincoln Journal Star:

Chief Deputy Lancaster County Attorney Bruce Prenda said last week that he wasn’t charging sophomore running back Maurice Washington, freshman defensive back Myles Farmer and senior walk-on Jeremiah Stovall because his office needs to continue to evaluate the effect of the new law (LB657) as it applies to prosecuting marijuana and paraphernalia cases.

Nebraska’s athletic department has been aware of the citations, but did not comment on the situations. They have not state whether or not the players will face any punishment from the program or head coach Scott Frost.

The Huskers begin the 2019 season against South Alabama on Saturday, Aug. 31.
