Callaway Cited for Marijuana Possession
-
There seems to be a lot of legal nuance to Callaway's legal situation:
Did anyone see the reason his license was allegedly under suspension? There are multiple reasons for that offense , some bad such that you will be entering a greater world of pain (see what I did there) if you did that....like being suspended for a DUI, and blatantly driving in spite of it. Or you can just have some non compliance with some regulatory thing: like not having paid a reinstatement fee or the like. Almost universally if it is a regulatory suspension that can be corrected fairly easily a court will allow you to accomplish that and give you a vastly reduced charge, such as a No O.L. (no points, no additional suspension....a small fine).
B. Some reports are that he had a gun and ammo. Others that he had like just parts of a gun. Several questions exist here: Are "parts" of a gun considered a weapon at all? If it is a weapon, was where it was? Can that location considered to be concealed or in the open? If concealed, did he have a conceal carry permit? (let's assume he does not, not here in OH).
C. He is more dead to right on the MJ possession charge. The "it must have been put in my care when it was shipped" excuse will not likely fly. (Also, does "possession" even require mens rea? Possession may actually be a strict liability offense. By that I mean does there have to be intent for someone to be guilty of a crime. E.g: If you are caught going 52 in a 35 there is no "I didn't intend to go that fast" defense. Whereas there is a "I didn't intend to killl that person" defense. There is no "I did not intend to possess that dope" defense. Now there may be an actual "I did Not possess that dope defense"...i.e. I am not the one that put the material in my range of reach, and/or I did not even know it was there. That appears, perhaps to be Callaway's planned defense. But the success of that, in my view, is a long shot.....unless you really have some evidence, or someone else step forward to claim responsibility for the dope...and yes, that does happen.

Honestly... This might not be that big of a deal if he doesn't piss hot..
It's only a misdemeanor.. Now the driving under suspension could warrant a harsher penalty.. but we will see...
Under the circumstances, I bet Callaway gets fined 3 games without pay if his tests come back negative..
I don't believe that the NFL hands out discipline for offenses like Driving Under Suspension. They care about the Minor Misdemeanor (the 150 fine max charge) over the 1st degree Misdemeanor (the 6 month in jail 1000 fine max charge)
Hell....they care more about the dope charge than they do about the fact that the dude was carrying around a lethal weapon: a gun and ammo, apparently
Sometimes they really have their priorities skewed over draconian matters like dope, or they try to be OH SO politically correct. They are not however, as often misguided as college football sometimes. (Why does John Harbaugh still have a job? He had a player commit domestic violence!)
they care more about the dope charge than they do about the fact that the dude was carrying around a lethal weapon: a gun and ammo, apparently
My understanding is that it was gun PARTS and ammo. I don't think it was an actual fire-able gun.
BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE -
It was a backstrap. Calling it a gun part is kind of overselling it. It's to adjust the grip of a pistol and I think most guns come with a few different ones.

police report shows nothing about a gun https://www.scribd.com/document/385760107/Antonio-Calloway-Incident-rookie-wide-receiver-for-the-Cleveland-Browns weed crumbs under seat & was his license valid?

Suspended for what?
You need four pot violations before you get suspended, he has one.
NFL doesnt care about your standing with the DMV or a holster for your legal weapon which is in another state.

I was speaking of, what I believe, is the inevitability of him being suspended. I’m sure he has had many people in his ear about how he was given a chance and needs to stay clean. Then he’s found with pot in his freakin car. I hope he learns from it and that’s the end of it, but............ I’m not holding my breath.

Z IMHO, you just can't minimize stuff like this.... He picked up strike two- in the Browns eyes (failed drug test). Strike three, he's gone.
If the a$$ reaming he certainly got from Dorsey and Hue doesn't straighten him out- his next misstep this year is a ticket out of town- and the NFL.

OK, well they DRAFTED him after your strike one ... so this is only strike one with the Browns. Caught looking on a slider.
We'll see how Dorsey handles it on Hard Knocks. I'm sure he was pissed when the news broke, but the kid is busting ass in camp and his story holds water so ... let's get Josh in camp and crush it.

Rose to the top of the depth chart, made Corey Coleman expendable, are you not paying attention or just playing dumb?
Zombo
lmao.....corey coleman was expendable because he has proven he sucks.
I think Im the only one paying attention, because to me 'on the field' actually means a 4th round pick(!) showing something against actual nfl competition in a game. But if your definition of that is good reports from the team about how well he runs wind sprints in the meaningless pre-preseason, well......
