MOBILE, Ala. (AP) -A judge has sent the drug possession case against former Oakland Raiders quarterback JaMarcus Russell to a grand jury in Mobile, Ala.
District Judge Charles McKnight decided Wednesday that the grand jury should review the evidence despite another man’s testimony that the drug in question, codeine syrup, belonged to him and not to Russell.
The testimony from Marcus Stevenson led to his arrest Wednesday on a charge of possession of a controlled substance. Stevenson said he is a longtime friend of Russell and had been at Russell’s home in Mobile before it was raided July 5.
Russell, a star at LSU, has pleaded not guilty to the felony charge.
