Texans rookie running back D'Onta Foreman, the third-round pick from the University of Texas, was arrested early Sunday morning in Austin on possession of marijuana and unlawful weapon charges.
The Austin American-Statesman reported that Foreman, who rushed for 2,028 yards as a junior last season, was arrested at 3 a.m. Sunday by the campus police department.
The Texans said today they are investigating.
The American-Statesman was issued a statement from the University of Texas Police Department that said officers responded to a call at 12:24 a.m.
(Police) "responded to a report of the smell of marijuana coming from three occupied vehicles near the southwest side of San Jacinto residence hall on campus," the statement read. "Officers arrived on the scene discovered marijuana in each vehicle and also discovered a firearm in one of them.
"The owner of the firearm, D'Onta Foreman, was arrested for Unlawful Carrying of Weapons and Possession of Marijuana and booked into Travis County Jail. Six other male suspects were cited and released for Possession of Marijuana.
"None of them are UT students and they are not believed to have UT affiliations." "We are aware of the situation involving D'Onta Foreman, and we are gathering more information," the Texans said.

And there goes Rick Smith's 3rd round pick.
D’Onta. My Profiling Meter has started to beep loudly.
So much for the feral’s football career. Stand over there with the Ryan Leaf Brigade, son.
Poor ignorant fool. No one explained to him that the free pass ended when he was no longer contributing to the Longhorns, did they?
D’onta d’onta be using no drugs.
That’s what you get from UT. Druggies, gf beaters and rapists and general thugs.
“Unlawful weapon charges.”
The pot charge is nothing. In TX you have to be really trying to get an unlawful weapons charge.
Seems to me he has a 2nd Amendment right to his gun.
I thought that was Bailer?
He’ll likely just get a suspension aka slap on the wrist.
Lets send him to the National University of Singapore.
Who said it was a gun?
Sorry, reread it and says firearm, my bad.
I see what you did there.
D’Onta really put the offense on his back last season; I enjoyed watching him play (except when he played my alma mater!). Hopefully he straightens up...pronto!
Hmmmm... the coach said to be “in” by 3:00am.
He did NOT mean “in jail.”
NFL = ‘nurther felon loose
Amazing how quick to judge some people are. Campus police? Really? “The smell of marijuana” is one of the oldest tricks in the cop playbook.
No, i think you’re confusing UT with FSU.
That seems to be a tradition amongst UT Running Backs.
