Browns offensive players Rashard Higgins and Jedrick Wills each plead guilty to speeding charges in a suburban Cleveland court this week. It’s a reduction in charges from the initial incident in January.
Wills and Higgins were originally charged with drag racing after being pulled over on Crocker Road in Westlake. The route in question was also deemed a work zone, which increased penalties. However, the charges were lowered in an agreement between the prosecution and attorneys for the duo.
They each were ordered to pay $428 in fines and court costs.
The initial police report from the Westlake PD stated,
“The two vehicles took off together side by side at a fast rate heading North on Crocker and were racing each other. The two operators were cited for Drag Racing. The one operator had his vehicle searched from PC based on the smell of marijuana. A suspected marijuana joint was located on him. That item was destroyed and the subject was given a warning. They were released from the scene.”
Higgins, who is a pending free agent, was the owner of the marijuana but never faced any charges for the small amount.
