Panthers practice squad rookie linebacker Lawrence Wilson went about relaxing during the bye week the wrong way.
Wilson was arrested Wednesday afternoon with 11 grams of marijuana after getting pulled over on Interstate 85, according to Nathan Hardin of the Salisbury Post.
Police smelled marijuana in the car before handcuffing Wilson, who was pulled over for speeding. Wilson said he had “a break from his job.” According to the police report, Wilson began to cry and ask what it would do to his career. That’s actually pretty sad. Let’s move on.
Wilson, a rookie, was placed on the practice squad on September 5. He was was cited for misdemeanor possession of marijuana and speeding.
