Kellen Winslow Jr Charged With Possession Of Synthetic Marijuana

New York Jets tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. has been charged with possession of synthetic marijuana (Fubinaca) by the East Hanover Police Department. The incident occurred on November 19th of 2013, but criminal charges weren’t filed until December 30th of 2013.  The marijuana possession is a third degree offense and if convicted Winslow faces up to five years in prison.

Winslow joined the New York Jets as a free agent in June and immediately made a positive impact on the team. In October he was suspended by the NFL for four games for violating the league’s policy on performance enhancing substances. It is unclear what effect this will have on his status as an NFL player going forward. Winslow ended the 2013 season with 31 catches for 388 yards and two touchdowns.
