Elijah Dukes was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession after a traffic stop in Tampa on Monday night.
Yet another reason why any team thinking of trading for Dukes should take a long look at his history. This is one of his lesser brushes with the law. Tampa police officers stopped Dukes and a passenger for a loud music violation and noted "a distinct odor of marijuana" coming from inside the vehicle. A search went on to yield less than two grams of marijuana in the center console.
Why bother a guy for a noise violation and then bust him for having less than two joints? Just take the weed and move on with your life. Busting someone for having a joint and a half is retarded. Plus it seems like he needs it since he has been suspended repeatedly for fighting. Mello out man!
