AUBURN, Alabama -- Nick Marshall's fine for marijuana possession has been paid and the case is now closed, according to Lonnie Holder, the police chief in Reynolds, Georgia.

The Auburn quarterback's mother, Shalena Cliett, paid the fine, which was approximately $1,000 for possessing less than one ounce of marijuana and $100 for the illegal window tint on his vehicle.

Marshall, who was pulled over and cited in Reynolds on July 11 after Holder and another officer found 8-9 grams of marijuana in the car, would have had to attend a Sept. 10 court date at 10 a.m. if the fine was not paid.

The Montgomery Advertiser reported the news late Wednesday night.

Auburn coach Gus Malzahn has not announced his decision on punishing Marshall for the citation, although the quarterback was not allowed to go to SEC Media Days or attend Auburn's ESPY appearances.

Marshall, who is a first-time offender in his time at Auburn, according to Malzahn, would not face any loss of playing time under Auburn's athletic drug policy -- a second infraction would cost the quarterback half the season -- although Malzahn told reporters at SEC Media Days that Marshall would suffer the consequences.

Holder, who was one of the officers that cited Marshall and told WRBL the quarterback was "very regretful," also confirmed that the other officer involved in Marshall's traffic stop, Christopher Rachalla, has been arrested and charged with two charges of simple battery, terroristic threats, 2nd degree criminal damage, criminal trespassing and violation of oath of office.

Rachalla turned himself in to Holder after an alleged incident of domestic violence on Tuesday night and has been fired from the Reynolds police force, news first reported by WRBL.

The arrest would have had no bearing on Marshall's case, according to Holder, because the police chief was also present during the traffic stop that resulted in Marshall's citation.
