(UPDATE: Rashard Robinson's next court date has been moved from Jan. 29 to Feb. 26. He has retained a lawyer.)

Jets cornerback Rashard Robinson, who barely played in 2017, was arrested Dec. 15 in Hanover Township for possessing marijuana-laced candy, according to police.

Robinson was pulled over for driving carelessly, and that's when police found the candy in his possession. Robinson's car smelled like marijuana, and a search of his vehicle revealed the marijuana candy, Hanover police reported.

"This is a pending legal matter, and we will not have any comment," a Jets spokesman said.

An NFL spokesman did not return a message seeking comment. Robinson could face discipline from the league as a result of his arrest.

A spokesman for Hanover police told NJ Advance Media on Wednesday that Robinson no-showed for his initial court date, on Monday at 1 p.m. His next court date is Jan. 29, in Hanover Township Municipal Court. If he doesn't show up to that, a warrant will be issued for his arrest.

Robinson was arrested at 10:19 p.m. on Dec. 15, while driving on Route 10 in Whippany, according to an arrest report provided by Hanover police. (The complete arrest report can be found down below.)

Robinson was arrested for possessing fewer than 50 grams of marijuana, in the form of edible candy. He was also charged with careless driving and operating a vehicle while possessing marijuana.

Two days after his arrest, Robinson played eight special teams snaps in the Jets' loss at the Saints. Robinson was inactive for the Jets' final two games, against the Chargers and Patriots.

Robinson, 22, was traded from the 49ers to the Jets in late October, in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. It has not exactly turned out to be a productive trade. Robinson wound up playing just 20 defensive snaps in his six games with the Jets. He was a non-factor.

Robinson was a fourth-round draft pick in 2016 by the 49ers.

He had his share of troubles in college. During the 2014 season at LSU, he was suspended for a failed drug test and poor grades. He sat out one semester, and then was arrested in June 2015 for unauthorized entry into a teammate's apartment. LSU didn't let him back into school after that. Robinson trained for the 2016 NFL Draft back home in South Florida.

Robinson has two years left on his rookie contract. Cutting him would be an admission of failure by general manager Mike Maccagnan. But it wouldn't cost the Jets anything in terms of salary cap ramifications. Robinson would have a $630,000 cap hit if he remains with the Jets in 2018. The Jets would take on no dead money by cutting him.

Considering Robinson was arrested in December, though, the Jets have already had plenty of time to release him, if that's what they wanted to do. They might wind up sticking with him.
