COLUMBIA, Mo. • Missouri starting cornerback Aarion Penton was arrested early Friday morning on suspicion of marijuana possession.

Penton, 20, was cited for possession of 35 grams or less of marijuana, a Class A misdemeanor, at 1:40 a.m. on the MU campus in the area of Virginia Avenue and Rollins Street, according to the Columbia Police arrest log.

Penton, an all-state player at CBC, has been indefinitely suspended from the football team, Mizzou spokesman Chad Moller confirmed Friday. It's uncertain if Penton will be reinstated in time to play in the Tigers' next game, Nov. 15 at Texas A&M. Missouri has a bye this week.

Penton was also arrested for the same alleged offense on March 15 in Columbia along with a teammate and two Mizzou basketball players, but online court records indicate they were never convicted.

Penton has started all nine games for Mizzou and leads the team with 10 passes defended on three interceptions and seven breakups. He made two starts last year as a freshman and intercepted a pass against Florida in his first career start.
