OK State safety Johnson accused of marijuana possession

STILLWATER, Okla. -- Oklahoma State safety Victor Johnson will face a possession of a controlled substance charge in addition to an accusation of obstructing a police officer leveled against him after his weekend arrest.

According to a police report released Wednesday by the university, Johnson was arrested early Saturday morning after police responded to a complaint about a suspicious odor at his apartment.

An affidavit filed by an OSU police officer alleges that Johnson initially refused to let police search his apartment. A bag of marijuana was found after officers obtained a search warrant.

Formal charges were filed late Tuesday against the 20-year-old Johnson.

Johnson is scheduled to appear in court on the charges on Aug. 23, when he is also due for his next hearing on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol. Johnson has pleaded not guilty to the DUI charge.

Johnson's attorney, Willie Baker, said it would be premature for him to comment on the case.
