Thread: More pot woes for Jerome Simpson

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Another Minnesota Vikings player is in trouble with the law -- and in this case, it's a player who has found legal trouble before.

Wide receiver Jerome Simpson has a Nov. 3 arraignment scheduled in Hennepin County for misdemeanor charges of marijuana possession, driving with an open bottle and violating limited license restrictions after he was pulled over in Bloomington, Minnesota, on July 7, according to Bloomington police. Simpson was not arrested but was cited for the aforementioned charges.

He was already serving a three-game suspension at the start of the season after he was arrested for drunken driving last November in Minneapolis. Simpson pleaded guilty to lesser charges of reckless driving on Jan. 2 but was still suspended by the NFL. It was his second suspension in three years with the Vikings, following a three-game ban in 2012 stemming from a marijuana-related arrest in Kentucky in 2011.

I think alcohol seems to be the big issue. Drunk driving a couple years ago and now driving with an open container. I'm not sure why pot is the focus.

Parlay? Isn't that the word you say to keep pirates from attacking you?
