Ravens wide receiver Deonte Thompson is no longer facing drug charges stemming from an arrest in Florida in February.
The 25-year-old was arrested in Gainesville on Feb. 22 and charged with felony possession of marijuana and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. Thompson was a passenger in a car that was operating without headlights when it was pulled over and he and two friends were arrested and charged after marijuana was found.
According to a report from The Sun, Thompson’s charges were dismissed after Alvon Summerall pleaded guilty to the same charges as well as driving with a suspended license, taking full responsibility for the incident.
Thompson is entering his third season and is not assured of a roster spot after a disappointing 2013 season in which he battled a foot injury and caught only 10 passes for 96 yards.
