Demetrius Harris Arrested for Possession of Marijuana and Paraphernalia

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Demetrius Harris was arrested on Monday afternoon in Bates County, Missouri and charged with felony possession of marijuana and possession of paraphernalia, according to KMBC 9 News.

Joel Thorman of Arrowhead Pride added, "Sgt. Bill Lowe of the Missouri Highway Patrol told me that Harris was a passenger in the car that was pulled over for a traffic stop. It becomes a felony when it’s over 35 grams. The sergeant told me he was cooperative."

Harris has since been released from the Bates County Jail. 

Felony possession in Missouri is "punishable by up to seven years in prison and a fine of $10,000," according to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star.

Harris, 25, is Kansas City's No. 2 tight end behind starter Travis Kelce. He posted career highs in receptions (17) and yards (123) in 2016, adding a touchdown catch. He's entering the second year of a three-year, $6.3 million contract extension with the Chiefs, per Spotrac.com.
