Charges are officially filed against #Steelers RBs LeGarrette Blount (possession of marijuana) & Le'Veon Bell (possession of marijuana, DUI)

Blount has been charged with possession of marijuana, and Bell has been charged with possession, as well as DUI. Both charges are misdemeanors, which is why the two are able to receive the charges via the mail.

For what it’s worth, Ed Bouchette of the Post Gazette says that the Steelers are not going to punish the two, and that the team is going to leave discipline to the NFL.

Steelers will allow NFL to handle any disciplinary measures vs. Bell, Blount. Again, Goodell not likely to act in 2014. Both play tonight

Pittsburgh’s CBS affiliate KDKA has obtained photos of Le’veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount’s incident yesterday. In the pictures, you can clearly see Le’Veon Bell in handcuffs being escorted by police officers.

In the third photo, you can see the motorcycle unit that initially pulled the Steelers duo over. According to the Ross Township police, the motorcycle officer was at a red light and smelled marijuana smoke coming from the running back’s camaro. After pulling them over, the officer found a ziploc bag with 20 grams of marijuana on the console.

As of right now, no one has been formally charged with anything. “No one has been charged yet. The case is still being investigated,” said Ross Township Police Detective Brian Kohlhepp via KDKA. “However, we do anticipate charges of possession against all three individuals. And in addition to that, we took Mr. Bell to UPMC Passavant for blood draw for suspicion of DUI for driving under the influence of marijuana.”

The detective also indicated that the department has not had contact with the Steelers organization.

It appears that head coach Mike Tomlin isn’t going to take a knee jerk type of stance on Bell and Blount’s run in with the police yesterday. According to NFL reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala, Tomlin intends to play the two during tonight’s match up against the Philadelphia Eagles.

According to Kinkhabwala, Tomlin’s mindset is that jobs will be decided tonight, and the whole team shouldn’t suffer because of the actions of Bell and Blount. It would make little sense for the team to discipline the two, assuming they do so at all, this early in the process. The two have not even received summons for the citations they received yesterday. How much they’ll play tonight remains to be seen.

As I reported last night, LeGarrette Blount traveled with the team by plane to Philadelphia yesterday. Le’Veon Bell did not travel with the team’s charter, most likely because he was busy having blood work done to be tested for a DUI.

According to Ed Bouchette, and confirmed by other reporters, Bell did later travel to Philadelphia on his own. I wouldn’t really expect to see him suited up tonight, though. Aside from the possible discipline the team may give the pair for yesterday’s transgressions, the team could fine Bell $10,930 for missing the flight to Philadelphia under Article 42, section 1 of the collective bargaining agreement.

After being cited for possession of marijuana today, Steelers running back LeGarrette Blount traveled with the team to Philadelphia. Le’Veon Bell did not travel with the team. The Steelers play the Eagles Thursday night on NFL Network. It’s possible that Bell missed the plane due to reportedly being at the hospital to have a blood test performed.

The Steelers public relations spokesman issued a statement regarding Bell and Blount. “We are aware of the reports and still gathering information,” said Burt Lauten via a release. “We will have no further comment at this time.”

It is being reported that LeGarrette Blount and Le’Veon Bell were arrested for possession of marijuana today after a traffic stop. Colin Dunlap reports that the two were pulled over by Ross Township police today, and that police found 20 grams of marijuana in their possession. Bell was also cited with DUI according to Dunlap.

The two were in a black camaro with an unidentified woman who was also charged. According to police, they were cooperative. According to AP reporter Will Graves, they were pulled over around 1:30 PM. Police detected marijuana smoke from the camaro, which was operated by Bell. All three in the vehicle claimed possession of the marijuana. Charges will be filed against them through the mail, as the charges are misdemeanors. Bell was taken to the hospital, where he had blood drawn and tested for DUI.
