Cornerback Johnathan Joseph has been arrested for possession of marijuana.
Joseph is the ninth Bengals player arrested since Jan. 1, 2006, and the first of 2007.
He is the fifth Bengals player drafted in 2005 and 2006 to be arrested. The team made a total of 16 draft picks in the previous two drafts.

Bengals PR director Jack Brennan repeated the organization's policy early this afternoon of not commenting on ongoing legal issues involving a player.
"We don't comment on these cases when they are still at the point of charges," Brennan said. "We don't think that would be appropriate."
Joseph is charged with possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. He was taken into custody at 2:15 a.m. after a car in which he was a passenger was stopped at U.S. 42 and Braxton Road.
A Boone County sheriff’s deputy said he stopped the 1999 gold Ford vehicle for weaving in and out of lanes at a slow rate of speed. A police report states the vehicle crossed the center line three times.
The driver, Kelsy Glover of Fairfield, was charged with careless driving and operating on a suspended license. Glover told the deputy she was eating food and reaching for Joseph’s juice when she was stopped, according to the report.
The police report states the deputy searched a Super Bowl XL backpack Joseph was holding after smelling a strong odor of marijuana during the traffic stop. Marijuana was found in the backpack next to a video game system, deputies said.
Joseph, of Union, was released from the Boone County jail earlier today. His appearance in Boone District Court has not yet been set.
The other players from the past two drafts arrested are linebacker Odell Thurman, wide receiver Chris Henry, defensive end Frostee Rucker and wide receiver Reggie McNeal.
Four of the five players arrested were drafted in the first three rounds on the first day of their drafts: Thurman and Henry (second- and third-round picks in 2005) and Joseph and Rucker (first- and third-round picks in 2006). |
You know, I'd almost feel bad for mentioning it, but the Been-Gals just make it way too easy!
