Days after his reported arrest for marijuana possession with intent to sell or deliver, Alabama freshman defensive back Tony Mitchell has been suspended from all team activities, coach Nick Saban told reporters Monday.
Mitchell, who was an Under Armour All-American, was arrested Wednesday in Holmes County, Fla. In a press release, the county’s sheriff’s office reported finding a “significant amount of marijuana, a set of scales, a loaded handgun between the passenger seat and center console, and a large amount of cash,” according to AL.com’s Mike Rodak.
Saban said Monday that Mitchell would remain away from the team while the school gathered more information on the matter.
