Detroit Lions second-year running back, Mikel Leshoure is facing felony marijuana possession charges after a March 12 traffic stop outside of Benton Harbor. This is his second drug-related offense in less than a month.

Leshoure, a 2011 second round pick by the Lions out of the University of Illinois, missed his entire rookie season with a torn Achilles tendon. He was first arrested on Feb. 18.

He was the passenger in a rented SUV that was pulled over for an improper lane change. According to the police report. Leshoure was caught “chewing marijuana” and marijuana spilled down the front of his shirt.

“He was cooperative,” the Police Chief said, “We told him to spit (the weed) out so he wouldn’t get sick, and he did.” Officers said that Leshoure initially admitted to smoking weed before the traffic stop, but tried to say that the substance in his mouth was not marijuana, but potpourri.
