Four-star WR cited for marijuana possession while visiting Ohio State
Published:
Last weekend, four-star wide receiver James Robinson was cited on one count of marijuana possession while visiting Ohio State, according to Franklin County Municipal Court Records.
The Under Armour All-American wideout was taken into custody last Saturday from an off-campus apartment and was released that night.
Here was the report filed:
The Lakeland, Fla. recruit returned to Florida the next day.
According to 247sports, Robinson must may $93 in court fees for the misdemeanor charge. His arraignment is set for March 1, where he’ll face a maximum fine of $150.
Ohio State ended its recruitment of Robinson after his arrest in Columbus. He’s announcing his decision on National Signing Day and choosing between Clemson, Florida, Oklahoma and Oregon.
It remains to be seen how Robinson’s citation will impact his standing with the other schools who recruited him.
UPDATE: The original story said that Robinson was arrested for marijuana possession. It was since reported that he was only cited for marijuana possession.
