New details have emerged on the arrest of New England Patriots cornerback Joejuan Williams.
The 22-year-old reportedly was arrested Jan. 17 in Tennessee and charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession of drugs without a prescription and possession of drug paraphernalia. He also was cited for speeding.
Per a Saturday update from the Tennessean, Williams was found with painkillers and marijuana, among other things.
Here are the full details, along with a useful translation from Dr. Jessica Flynn, a sports medicine physician at Lahey Hospital and Medical Center in Burlington, Mass., who also contributes to Boston Sports Journal:
