Chris Martin, Kedric Johnson Arrested For Marijuana Possession In 2011

PrintIt turns out Janoris Jenkins isn't alone: His arrests for marijuana possession are just two of the four total for Gators on the 2011 Florida football roster.
Jason Lieser of the Palm Beach Post reports that defensive end/linebacker Chris Martin and linebacker Kedric Johnson were cited for marijuana possession in separate incidents in early 2011.
The Gainesville Police Department arrested Martin, who is expected to compete for a starting job at defensive end or linebacker this summer, on Jan. 29 after officers detected the scent of the drug coming from a vehicle. Martin was in the car and revealed approximately two grams of cannabis when the police confronted him, the report said.
Johnson, a back-up linebacker, was arrested on Jan. 9 after an officer pulled him over for speeding and smelled marijuana. He produced two grams of it from his glove compartment, the police report said.
Both players agreed to deferred prosecution, and the cases did not go to trial.
Are we headed for a referendum on Florida's attitudes and policies on marijuana? Are we going to have to dredge up statistics for drug-related arrests by demographic to prove that a few young black men getting arrested for possession is not all that uncommon? Are we going to have any defenders without an arrest or other demerit on their permanent records this fall?
In order: Yes, and I can imagine some of the usual suspects sharpening their troll knives now; yeah, probably, but to defend college football players as a whole, not just these Gators; sure, as long as Jelani Jenkins sticks around.
Oh, and as for Martin and Johnson: If Jenkins' first marijuana arrest — his second arrest, mind — was handled internally, I think we can safely assume theirs were, as well.

Not a big deal, other than that the lead for “most arrests since 2005” is now extended.
Also, why do UF players not smoke K2? NCAA does not test for it.
Oh wait, I remember. UF’s drug policy was one of the most lenient in the NCAA.
But even if UF doesn’t care about drugs (5 positive tests before dismissal, was it?), the police do.

Yeah, if that happens every 5 years or so, but we win 2 BCS Championships…I’ll take it. I mean really, who takes throwing a sandwich back at a deli clerk seriously?
As for K2/Spice, as you and I talked briefly about it the other day, we keeping it real. Haha.

Given the current state of affairs I would say that IS A BIG IF.
But I am sure most of you believe there are a few more right around the corner.

Factual?
I see some assumptions and opinions in there…
And yes…you do ban for posts like yours…
I speak from experience…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
IMO, he is right about the K2/Spice and the drug policy. I’m writing an article about the Gator drug policy as we speak.
The Once and Future King
NO, he isn't factually right about anything he stated...
His comment on the UF’s drug policy being “one of the most lenient” is an opinion…
Encouragement to smoke a substance doused in chemicals over an illegal one is reprehensible and irresponsible at best…and a clear picture of the type of skirting the rules ideals that has gotten FSU Athletic programs on NCAA probation 7 times…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
His drug policy statement is truth.
The K2/Spice thing is because the NCAA doesn’t “test” for it. So therefore, theoretically, players could get away with it. Instead of risking the things that Chris Martin, Kedric Johnson and Janoris Jenkins have risked.
The Once and Future King
It is?...Really?
Because you just posted two other schools in LSU and Ole Miss who would appear to be more “lenient” than UF considering neither even lists dismissal as a punishment…
Again both Bud and your opinion of the UF’s drug use policy is an opinion…as is mine…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
Well, if you think that UF’s drug policy isn’t lenient, than you are in the very, very…..very small minority.
The Once and Future King
After looking at the comments on your other post...
I’m certainly not in the minority here…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
Not here, you’re right. You and the like are okay with Janoris being suspended only 1 and a 1/2 games.
The Once and Future King
Absolutley not...He should be given the boot...
But not because of the Drug Policy…as we don’t even have verification as to whether he violated it not…
The issue is a second arrest for the same infraction in less than four months and a third misdemeanor arrest in less than two years…
That’s where my problem lies…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
So getting arrested for a drug isn’t the same as failing a drug test (as in a strike on the drug policy chart) ?
The Once and Future King
Nope...it's not...
You don’t get arrested for a positive drug test unless it’s administered by a PO and your on probation…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
The policy statements are not opinion. You’re arguing enforcement, which I did not mention.

Sure they are, Bud...
Your perception of leniency and mine will differ…
Show me otherwise as we have already indentified two within the conference that are MUCH more lenient in my opinion…
And have we haven’t even scratched the surface on the rest of the BCS conferences…or the rest of the FBS…or the FCS…or the lower levels of the NCAA…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...

Bud doesnt speak for the Seminole nation.
Just like you dont speak for the Gator Army.
“and a clear picture of the type of skirting the rules ideals that has gotten FSU Athletic programs on NCAA probation 7 times…”
Thats like YOU making a comment and me using that to judge your entire program. His comment was ignorant since he obviously isnt aware in the differences of the two. You just generalized a entire program because of it.

NO...the name of the this Blog is Alligator Army...
The network and connection of UF alumni and students is dubbed Gator Nation by the university…
Tommyflop Nation is a lame attempt to play off of that…
Junior…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
that’s his attempt at poking fun of your little armwaving technique … and it does make sense as it rhymes and flop is a generic term for coming up short, not winning, and falling down. Whether you believe that describes your team, university or blog doesn’t matter, because it is his saying and he can apply it how he sees fit.
in other news I’m starting to like all these Nole fans commenting. keep up the attempts girls … Battle cry of the noles FREE SHOES U!!!
Get out of my House!
Whats the battle cry
for University of Felons?
And, just for reference, there actually IS a Seminole Nation. It’s not just something FSU uses, they borrowed it – with permission – from the Seminole Tribe. And, Seminole Nation has been around referring to FSU for a lot longer than I’ve heard Gator Nation around. “Gator Nation” started when the SEC and UF started thinking they’re the best ever in the history of ever. “Seminole Nation” has been around since at least the 80s.
>>---,,->
Scalp 'em Seminoles!
Opinion based
And besides the legitamacy of the Seminole Tribe is debatable since it is not a true tribe but a mix of outlaws and cast offs from other tribes. The Creeks the Timuquas, and the Cherokee are true tribes. And yes I would say that to any one of them. I have a best friend who 80% Chipawa and we’ve discussed this as well.
University of Felons, that’s a a catchy name for you guys, althoug I must say you should rearrange the words to something more along the lines of Felon State University. That would fit nicely with Fraudulent Scholastics University.
Get out of my House!
It's a bit of high brow creative humor...
We don’t expect Semitards to get it…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
I as well speak from experience in that if you dont share Buds opinions
you are obviously mistaken no matter what.
My HC over at tomahawknation has a knack for rationalizing his opinions sometimes into truth. BUTTTTT I have never in my life found a more in depth site dedicated to FSU.

so what's the problem numberone?
It’s certainly not our fault that FSU doesn’t excel in spring sports and has to spend the first 8 months of every year analyzing their depth and talent at the defensive back position in anticipation of maybe advancing to its first BCS Bowl game since 2005.
I guess you are referring to "1" discussion currently going on. Doesnt even need a response.
MMMM and I do have so much anticipation to get back to a BCS bowl game. Lets not talk history since we all know you had a cute run with Timmy while never playing an out of conference opponent outside of the state. We had our run as well and it makes yours seem well kinda a small target group. The current situation is all that matters now right? Both teams could live in the past if they wanted. And that situation looks alot brighter in garnet and gold.
Trust me, I am very jealous of your scheduling. I wish we would schedule for a NC as well.

Isn't Track a Spring Sport?
And haven’t we won a multitude of National Championships in it recently?
Also, isnt Baseball a spring sport, and we’ve beaten UF a multitude of times recently – including 3 of 4 games this year already?
And didn’t FSU advance just one round behind UF this year in the NCAA tourney?
I don’t follow Woman’s Volleyball, but I hear ya’ll are pretty good at it. But I mean, they’re not really a major sport. As for the major spring sports, it looks like we’re not too far off from being ahead of you in them.

Damn, you are an idiot...or just can't read very well...
I didn’t address your comment because you either couldn’t even be honest with yourself over the depth of involvement of FSU staff in the school’s most recent NCAA probation…or you are just ignorant of actually what happened…
When you have gotten that straight…then we can actually talk…
And since you have what appears to be a picture of yourself as an avatar…well, I have a pretty good idea of your age range…and it would certainly relegate you to junior status IMO…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
Our most recent case of probation stems from kids cheating on a online music course
No matter how it happened you somehow think that holds any weight over Floridas recent trouble? Our guys got caught cheating on a test across several sports. Depth of involvement. You scream to talk facts yet you make statements with no factual basis behind them. That is your opinion in that “the cheating scandal” went really far beneath the surface.
Your guys broke the LAW and that is on par with cheating in a online course. And im the idiot. Congrats Homer.
Cam Newton anyone? Anyone remember that arrest headline? I DO I DO.
And yes that is a picture of me. I am 28 years old, but I am sure you knew that before your typed “junior” right?

Really..you speak of ignorance and then display how full of it you are...
Forget about Brenda Monk and Hillard Goldsmith?…The NCAA certainly didn’t…they made the connections of their involvement and sanctioned both appropriately as well…
Depth of involvement?…the NCAA report suggests that the 60 athletes that cooperated was a "minimum’ number actually involved…
FYI…you specifically brought up the academic fraud..not me…
As far as your age…pretty much what I supposed…and yes that qualifies you as ’junior" to me…
You may not like what I have to say...but somebody has to say it...
And you still dont address the substance of my statements.
You are comparing cheating in an online music course to 31 arrests since 2005 and 9 felonies…
How else can I say that. Wow I want some of whats in your pipe. Whats in mine still keeps me on the subject at hand.
Again about my age? I am not sure how that has anything to do with the subject at hand. But if it does matter, I will take being 28 compared to close to an AARP card. I am going to leave you alone now. I came looking for intelligent conversation with a little fun and I got neither during my stay here.

Some FACTUAL information for you.
- Florida players have been charged with crimes in 25 cases during Meyer’s four years as coach.
- There have been 21 arrests, with three more players issued citations and later booked on charges.
- Of the 24 cases in which players have been charged, nine of those charges were for felonies
Since then there have been another 6!!!

I know why they don’t smoke K2. Its because weed works and K2 doesn’t.
Cannabis works wonders for migraines and muscle soreness and I would certainly prefer these kids smoke weed everyday than abuse alcohol or opiate pain killers.
Yeah, this is definitely why they smoke it
Cannabis works wonders for migraines and muscle soreness
>>---l>
That is assuming they know that it has medicinal purposes.....it's still illegal
and if you are that dumb to not know how not to get caught, i serious doubt it was for pain relief.
Why isn't FL a MMJ State?

Currently 13 MMJ states that I know of. I do smoke and I would never smoke K2/Spice. That hasnt been proven not to physically harm my body in anyway. Where there are thousands of articles and test studies showing marijuana does not in any way harm your body. If I was a D1 athlete I wouldnt smoke k2/spice either.

Just to add for nothing but k2/spice are illegal now as well.
For about the last two months. Are they already testing for it? not sure, but its use would be an offense
