I think it was kinda overblown.. When I read the headline 'Ex- Bills RB Thomas arrested on drug charges' and I thought it was going to be a Nate Newton or Bam Morris situation, but half of a smoked joint? Yes, I know it's a crime, but is it worth the arrest, processing and time that it took to do that? I would think that a citation and confiscation would be sufficient and let the cops fight actual crime..
