DOTHAN — Auburn senior defensive back Jonathon Mincy was arrested and charged with second-degree marijuana possession Friday night near Abbeville, according to Henry County Sheriff William Maddox.

Maddox said Mincy was a passenger in the backseat of car that was pulled over by a Henry County deputy for speeding Friday shortly before sunset near the intersection of Highway 431 and Highway 10.

“It was a routine stop on 431 near Great Southern Wood in Abbeville of a car doing 92 (mph) in a 65,” Maddox said. “The officer went to the car and smelled marijuana. There were two males and two females in the car and one of the males had shake all over his shirt sitting in the car in the back and there was a bag of marijuana near him. That person happened to be Jonathon Mincy of the Auburn football team.”

Maddox said Mincy was arrested and jailed with a bond of $3,000. He had already bonded out when reached by the Dothan Eagle at 9:30 p.m.

Maddox said the female driver, who he did not name, was charged with a speeding ticket.

When reached by the Opelika-Auburn News late Friday night, an Auburn official declined to comment on the arrest.
