2 Sooners face marijuana charge

Associated Press

NORMAN, Okla. — Authorities said two University of Oklahoma football players have been arrested on possession of marijuana complaints.

Cleveland County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Meghan McCormick said deputies arrested wide receiver Jalen Saunders and defensive back Cortez Johnson at about 2 a.m. Sunday during a traffic stop in Norman.

McCormick said both Saunders and Johnson were booked into the Cleveland County jail and were released between 4 and 5 a.m. Sunday.

McCormick said she doesn’t know if either Saunders or Johnson has an attorney or when they’re due in court for an initial appearance.

The arrests come after the No. 12 Sooners (10-2, 8-1 Big 12) beat TCU 24-17 on Saturday.

Saunders scored a touchdown in the game.

Team spokesman Pete Moris declined to comment Sunday.

  • Jemarcus_Jackson_BH.jpg Jackson signs with Mid-America Christian

    Jemarcus Jackson signed a letter of intent to play basketball on a scholarship at NAIA Division I Mid-America Christian University in Oklahoma City on Monday, ending a long wait for the Enid High senior, and a longer one for his nerves.
    Jackson already was sweating thanks to a weighty training session just before his signing ceremony at the Enid High School food court, but that wasn’t the only reason he was “sweating like a dog” as he filled out the paperwork.

    A tip of the hat to Murray State College for winning the Plains District tournament this weekend to assure there will be an Oklahoma team in the upcoming NJCAA Division II World Series at David Allen Memorial Ballpark.
    The Aggies, who were 5-0 against Northern Oklahoma College Enid this season, beat MCC-Longview 14-7 in the district championship game to take a 41-21 record into the tournament.
    They are a team that should be easy for Enid fans to adopt as their own.
