OSU's Johnson to face drug charge

[DemonNole7]

STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) -- Oklahoma State safety Victor Johnson will face a possession of a controlled substance charge in addition to an accusation of obstructing a police officer leveled against him after his weekend arrest.

According to a police report released Wednesday by the university, Johnson was arrested early Saturday morning after police responded to a complaint about a suspicious odor at his apartment.

An affidavit filed by an OSU police officer alleges that Johnson initially refused to let police search his apartment. A bag of marijuana was found after officers obtained a search warrant.

Formal charges were filed late Tuesday against the 20-year-old Johnson.

Johnson is scheduled to appear in court on the charges on Aug. 23, when he is also due for his next hearing on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. Johnson has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge.

Personally I don't really understand why marijuana is against the law. This is a very minor issue.

I'd think that when you have a court date for a DUI charge that you would keep your nose clean for a little while. Now he gets cought with the marijuanna,not too smart.
