PITTSBURGH (AP) -Pittsburgh Steelers receiver and Super Bowl MVP Santonio Holmes has waived his right to a preliminary hearing on a misdemeanor marijuana charge stemming from an October traffic stop.
Holmes didn’t comment after his brief appearance Thursday in Pittsburgh City Court.
The decision means Holmes must stand trial or work out a plea agreement with Allegheny County prosecutors. He remains free on bond.
Pittsburgh police say Holmes had three marijuana-filled cigars in his vehicle when he was pulled over Oct. 23. Police say Holmes was cooperative and alerted officers to the drugs.
The 24-year-old player is charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana. The charge carries up to a year in jail but probation or a fine is more common.
