Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Antwaun Woods has been arrested on charges of possession of marijuana and tampering with evidence. Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco say Woods was arrested Tuesday, Dec. 3, 2019, after a traffic stop. (Frisco Police Department via AP)
FRISCO, Texas (AP) — Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Antwaun Woods was arrested on drug and tampering charges after police say he tried to put out a marijuana cigarette when he knew he was about to be stopped for speeding.
Woods didn't pull over immediately and told police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco he had dropped the marijuana cigarette in the half-empty water bottle before he stopped, Officer Blake Simmons wrote in a police report provided Thursday. The Cowboys' practice facility is located in Frisco.
The 26-year-old Woods is facing a misdemeanor charge of possessing over 2 ounces and less than 4 ounces of marijuana. The charge of tampering with evidence is a third-degree felony. He was also cited for possession of drug paraphernalia.
There wasn't any information on an attorney for Woods. The Cowboys didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Woods won't play Thursday night in Chicago because of a knee injury that has sidelined him for two straight games.
The fourth-year player earned a starting role in Dallas last season after spending two years with Tennessee as an undrafted free agent.
While other states have legalized marijuana, Texas treats it as a Schedule 1 substance. Woods was charged with possession of between two ounces and four ounces of marijuana. The maximum punishment for that offense includes a year in jail and a $4,000 fine.
Even if Woods was stopped in a state where marijuana is legal, he still would have faced punishment from the NFL. The league still tests and disciplines players who use the drug. The league’s policy is somewhat relaxed, and could be on its way out during the next round of collective-bargaining agreement talks. A number of former NFL players have admitted to using marijuana during their careers.
Given the NFL’s policy, Woods could still face additional discipline from the league for the arrest.

So putting the joint out in the water bottle makes it a felony?

All charges will be reduced to misdemeanors, he will do some public service and pay a fine.
