Morristown, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) – New York Jets running back Mike Goodson has been indicted on two weapons charges stemming from a traffic stop in New Jersey back in May.<\/p>\n
The Morris County Prosecutor’s Office put out a press release Thursday announcing that Goodson was indicted on a second-degree charge of unlawful possession of a handgun and a fourth-degree charge of prohibited weapons and devices.<\/p>\n
According to the press release, the second-degree charge was for a .45-caliber Taurus handgun found in the glove box, while the fourth-degree charge was for possession of a hollow-point bullet.<\/p>\n
Goodson was the passenger in the car during the May 17 traffic stop and was found carrying a small amount of marijuana. The two drug charges, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, are still outstanding, according to the prosecutor’s office.<\/p>\n
Goodson was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL’s PED policy and appeared in just two games before being placed on season- ending injured reserve after suffering a torn ACL and MCL in a Week 6 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n
New York signed Goodson as a free agent just two days prior to the incident, agreeing to a reported three-year, $6.9 million contract with the former Oakland Raider running back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
