MIAMI — Ohio State football recruit Jamaal Berry was arrested for felony marijuana possession, according to ESPN.com.

Berry, ranked as the nation’s third-best running back and 22nd-best prospect overall by ESPN, was charged with possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, a third-degree felony that carries a penalty of up to five years in jail and a $5,000 fine.

OSU coach Jim Tressel told Columbus TV station WBNS he wouldn’t comment until he had more information.

Vest will come out with the usual banter about he's just a kid and we think it would be more detrimental to not overlook this arrest than to actually do something about it. Osu has a history of dopers on the team. He makes bobby bowden look tame.

Karen,
You area genius. My distaste for the Suckeyes is obvious by my post-not many could have figured that out. Not because I dislike the team it is the obnoxious FANS such as yourself is the reason. I suggest you re-read the article and my posting. The 2 match, but you on the other hand point out over 2,000 days since UM last won which has nothing to do with the article, and totally ignore the FACTS I posted. WOW.

So what. The kid is on summer vacation and is caught with less than an ounce of weed. A third degree felony??? For a bag of weed? Whats up with that? in the land of Miami Vice and Miami CSI?

Sounds like Fla is trying to balance thier budget on the back of an 18 year old.

Tressell continues to recruit thugs instead of football players. It's getting to the point if you want thugeye reports, check the police blotter instead of the sports page. Not only does the Chokeyes lead the nation in arrests, but recruiting violations as well since Tressell's been there;
