See that he is participating in spring practices. Wasn't he arrested on illegal substance posession. I have not seen any mention of this affecting PT.

When I heard the reason for the arrest I couldn't believe it. They busted him for having a vaping pen he purchased at a store. Beware buying any of those things you see in gas stations and convenience stores and liquor stores. May be legal to sell but apparently illegal to possess. At least in tge eyes of the College Station police!

Didn't his vape pen have thc in it?

If it was a D8 or D9 pen legally purchased in TX then he's he's allowed to have it.

I'm sure it did. Look, a few months ago on a lark and out of curiosity I bought a drink called Keef while at Total Wine. It has THC in it. Using CPD's reasoning, if they found me in possession of that they could arrest me! It's just stupid.

No doubt Elko and company feel the same way.

Just because you can buy it doesn't mean it's legal.

"Finally, the cheapest way to test for THC is through Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC). Producers, sellers, and vendors often use TLC because of the low testing cost. TLC has far lower sensitivity. TLC is more qualitative than quantitative, which means it is better at indicating the presence of a substance rather than accurately measuring its concentration. This can lead to underreporting when precise quantification is necessary, as TLC might not provide the exact levels of THC present."

Ok pal. Good luck prosecuting that in a court of law.

Gonna be impossible to prosecute if it's labeled and represented as legal. The company is going to get in trouble at that point, not the buyer.

Pretty sad the cops have nothing better to do than bust someone for that evil vape pen!

According to Google, Texas law allows the cops to make the arrest since they don't have a test to determine the amount of thc present. It's up to the defendant to test and prove the amounts is legal.

Whether we like it or not as of now there is no such thing as a student-athlete. They are all getting paid, it's pro football. Shortly we will have contracts and hopefully salary caps. My point? I do not look at the players the same way anymore. If they can play and help the Aggies win and are not just total criminals let the coaches discipline them and move on. And you have no idea as a guy who tried to teach his players to always do the right thing how hard that is for me to say. But it is now college football realty.

It's just a chicken **** charge straight up. That's the bottom line.

Fun fact, the DPS lab does not even test personal use amounts of marijuana for THC anymore. Most of these offenses will be dismissed by just saying you want to go to trial. The prosecution will not have the evidence needed to prove it is an illegal substance.

To counteract this, most DAs offices in Texas will offer you a sweetheart deal of time served to plea guilty so they can get a conviction. They will tell you max penalties and fines blah blah blah. If you get arrested for a small amount of marijuana you won't beat the ride but can totally beat the wrap in Texas.

I think it is always on the government to prove guilt. Defendant is always presumed innocent otherwise.

i thought that was obvious. it's the fact having a thc pen puts the the user at risk having to defend the amount it contains. but, the defendant has a chance to buy it from resellers who used a cheap inaccurate test

*Craver.

It is never up to the defendant to prove anything.

Getting arrested by CSPD is just the typical welcome to College Station for our athletes.

---

You made my day with this statement. I needed a good laugh….

CSPD is a compilation of Super Troopers characters

CSPD is the worst. I received my first ticket in college. I was at a stop sign in front of a crosswalk. The car in front of me pulled all the way into the crosswalk before turning. Since I was stopped at the stop sign, I proceeded as soon as the car in the crosswalk did. I got pulled over for running the stop sign. I was too young and nervous to argue since it was the first time I had ever been pulled over. I will randomly think about this and it irks me so much.

"College" athletes in possession of illegal substances getting arrested is just typical.

No doubt, it will be dismissed. Total BS if the true story is that he purchased the pens locally.

I happen to suffer from major sleeping issues. I use a vape pen from Colorado at times to help me sleep. Of course, I only use it in Colorado as no one would dare cross state lines. So in Texas, you have to depend on legal sleeping meds that are far more powerful with more harmful side effects. Those true THC pens.....not legal as not produced under the federal Farm Bill. Those pens are available everyone all over Texas if you just have a friend.

Wonder if maybe one of those pens was produced outside of Texas. Regardless, BS and a total waste of our legal system. Perfect example of just how wrong our legal system is. Absolutely stupid. Ever seen a report where a person smoking weed went ape **** on people? Yet alcohol is legal. Lots of naive Ags on this topic to be honest.
