One would have hoped Cleveland Browns running back Kareeem Hunt would have been smart enough to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
The running back, who was cut by the Kansas City Chiefs and suspended by the NFL after violating the league’s personal conduct policy in 2018, was pulled over by Rocky River, (OH), police Tuesday for speeding. The police also found marijuana in the car.

Per ESPN.com:
According to a Rocky River (Ohio) police report, officers pulled Hunt over for speeding and noticed the smell of marijuana in the car. Hunt was placed in the back of the police cruiser while officers conducted a search. They found small amounts of marijuana in a backpack in the backseat. Police seized the backpack as evidence.
Hunt was only cited for the speeding violation.
The Browns said they are “aware and looking into it.”
The incident that led to the Chiefs cutting Hunt and the running back being suspended by the NFL is in the video below.
