Former Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell has been arrested and charged with possession of a controlled substance in Alabama. He was arrested on Monday for having codeine syrup in his possession.
Russell, 24, was arrested as part of an undercover sting operation, says Mobile County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Lori Myles. She wouldn’t say what led to his actual arrest. It seems apparent that Russell did not have a prescription for the codeine.
Myles told reporters that several people were in Russell’s home at the time of his arrest but Russell was the only person taken into custody.
Russell has a bond hearing scheduled for Wednesday and is due back in court on July 20.
