Lions DT Fairley arrested on marijuana charge
Nick Fairley - DL - Detroit Lions
April 3, 2012 - 4:55 PM ET

Lions DT Nick Fairley was arrested Tuesday on a misdemeanor second degree marijuana possession charge.

Fairley was arrested just after noon following a citizen complaint about a car speeding through the neighborhood several times. The franchise has now seen its first- and second-round picks from last season arrested for weed possession in a three-week span. As this was Fairley's first known offense, he is unlikely to land in as much hot water as Mikel Leshoure.
