It has been reported that Texas A&M freshman wide receiver Micah Tease was arrested on drug-related charges on Friday, Sept. 1, which includes a second-degree felony charge.
Tease was officially charged with possession of four to 400 grams of a controlled substance (edibles), a second-degree felony charge, which could result in a 20-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine. Tease was also charged with possession of marijuana, which is a more lenient Class B misdemeanor charge.
According to a Texas A&M Athletic Department spokesperson, Tease has been suspended indefinitely and will likely miss the Aggie’s season opener against New Mexico on Saturday night. Posting a $13,000 bond, Tease was released just hours after his arrest on Friday night.
According to the police report, the felony drug charges were from three THC edibles that weighed 48.1 grams. The bags of edibles said it contained 200mg.
