## Summary

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. faces a misdemeanour charge of marijuana possession after a traffic stop in Carmel, Indiana, earlier this month. The case adds a legal issue for the 2023 fourth overall draft pick as the Colts say they are gathering information.

Police stopped Richardson on 12 October because the car’s number plate did not match its expired registration. Court records say officers reported smelling marijuana; Richardson allegedly told them he had smoked in the car and that a small amount was inside. Officers reportedly found a jar containing a substance believed to be marijuana and an opened bag of THC gummies. He was issued a summons, and a bench trial is set for early next year after his initial 9 December court date was cancelled.
