DOTHAN, Alabama -- Auburn cornerback Jonathon Mincy, who was arrested and charged with second-degree possession of marijuana on June 27, has been accepted into a pre-trial diversion program, according to a motion filed in Henry County Friday.

Mincy's lawyers filed the motion for a pre-trial diversion on Thursday, and district judge James D. Peterson granted the motion on Friday, according to court documents.

By entering the pre-trial diversion program, Mincy paid $1,156 in fines, according to court records, and will avoid going to trial by meeting the conditions set by the court.

"Basically they have to pay a fee, they have to do a class and they have to stay out of trouble while they're on the program," Mincy's lawyer, Matthew Clement Lamere, said. "Once they've done all that and leave the program, the charges are suspended."

Lamere said he could not discuss specifics of Mincy's case.

After Mincy completes his pre-trial intervention requirements, the charge will likely be dropped, provided that Henry County district attorney Doug Valeska agrees.

"Obviously, getting a charge dismissed is never a bad thing," Lamere said.

Mincy's status is still up in the air. Auburn coach Gus Malzahn said at SEC Media Days that Mincy will face consequences with the team for the arrest, but the coach has not revealed details of the cornerback's punishment yet.

A staple of the Tigers' secondary with 29 career starts under his belt, Mincy exited Auburn's spring camp as the Tigers' starting boundary cornerback after moving over from the field side to replace the departed Chris Davis.

Mincy made 56 tackles, one interception and broke up 14 passes last season.

"He's a senior, we have high expectations for him," Malzahn said at SEC Media Days. "He made a mistake, and he will suffer the consequences also for his actions."
