Police: Cyclone tested positive for chemical found in marijuana

Iowa State wide receiver Jauan Wesley has been suspended indefinitely for violating the school's student-athlete code of conduct policy after being charged with operating while intoxicated in a drug-related incident Tuesday.

Cyclones football coach Paul Rhoads announced the suspension in a press release.

"We are aware of the charges filed against Jauan and we are disappointed. Jauan has been suspended indefinitely from the football team under the student-athlete code of conduct policy," Rhoads said in the statement.

According to Iowa State University Police captain/patrol commander Aaron DeLashmutt, police were called out to lot 61 (A) at about 12:30 a.m., regarding suspicious drug activity.

DeLashmutt said that when police arrived, they discovered a parked vehicle and could smell marijuana when they approached it.

He added that Wesley underwent a field sobriety test and provided a urine sample. A preliminary test of the urine sample tested positive for THC, a chemical found in marijuana.

"He was given a standardized field sobriety test and measurable impairment was observed on the test," DeLashmutt said.

DeLashmutt said that Wesley also admitted to smoking a single blunt and indicated he felt high.

The passenger in the vehicle, Cavion Clanton, was charged with possession of a controlled substance. Wesley was charged with OWI first offense.

Wesley was one of four true freshmen to see action for the Cyclones last season. The 5-foot-11, 177-pound native of Markham, Ill., played in eight games, earning one start.

Wesley caught 10 passes for 107 yards. ​
