MOBILE, Ala. — Detroit Lions defensive tackle Nick Fairley was arrested Tuesday in Alabama on a charge of possessing marijuana, authorities said.

Citizens called to complain that Fairley’s Cadillac Escalade was speeding through a lower-middle class neighborhood in Mobile. Officers smelled marijuana coming from the vehicle and found a small amount in an ashtray.

Fairley and a passenger were booked into Mobile’s metro jail facility on a misdemeanor marijuana possession. Fairley was released a short time later on $1,000 bail.
