MORGANTOWN, W.Va., Feb. 13 (UPI) -- Chicago Bears linebacker J.T. Thomas was arrested and hit with a misdemeanor marijuana charge in West Virginia, police said Monday.
A Morgantown, W.Va., police report indicated Thomas was pulled over for allegedly going the wrong way on a one-way street at 3:55 a.m. Monday, West Virginia MetroNews Network reported.
Officers said Thomas pulled something from the glove compartment during the stop that appeared to be marijuana in two plastic containers.
The Bears released a statement Monday saying the team is "currently gathering information to learn more about the circumstances surrounding the arrest."
Thomas, who didn't appear in a game for the Bears in his rookie season, played college football for West Virginia University.
The broadcaster said he was in Morgantown to raise money for his foundation.
