JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 25 (UPI) -- University of Florida football player Janoris Jenkins has been arrested on marijuana charges, his second arrest in 20 months, authorities said.
The cornerback was arrested Saturday after police witnessed him rolling a marijuana cigarette in the bathroom of a Gainesville nightclub, the (Jacksonville) Florida Times-Union reported.
Jenkins, 22, was charged with misdemeanor possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis and was given a notice to appear in court Feb. 17.
Jenkins recently decided to return to the university for his senior season despite being a potential first-round NFL draft pick.
"We are aware of the incident with Janoris Jenkins and will handle it internally at this time," Florida Gators head football coach Will Muschamp said in a statement.
Jenkins was arrested in May 2009 and charged with affray and resisting arrest without violence after being involved in a fight.
The affray charge was dropped and Jenkins signed a deferred prosecution agreement on the other charge, the Times-Union reported.
