CINCINNATI -- Bengals cornerback Johnathan Joseph was arrested early Monday and charged with possession of marijuana, the ninth Cincinnati player arrested in the last nine months.
The arrest came three weeks after coach Marvin Lewis promised to get tougher on player misconduct, hoping to stop a series of arrests that has embarrassed the team and drawn the attention of NFL commissioner Roger Goodell.
Joseph was arrested on U.S. Route 42 in northern Kentucky. He lives nearby in Union, Ky. The Boone Country sheriff's office arrest report said Joseph was the passenger in a vehicle driven by a woman who had a suspended license, was driving slowly and weaving.
When a Boone County sheriff's deputy asked Joseph to get out of the vehicle, he smelled marijuana. The deputy searched Joseph's black backpack with a Super Bowl logo and found a bag of marijuana in a pouch, the arrest report said.
Joseph was released Monday morning, and his first court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 5. Marijuana possession is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum of one year in jail and a maximum $500 fine.
He was the team's first-round draft pick last season and had positioned himself to take over a starting job next season.

we've seen this too many times ping
Karl Rove is single handedly trying to kill Ohio's best chance at being represented in the Super Bowl. I want to see him frog marched out of the White House.

Contrast this to one of the good guys on the team, someone who knows that football stars should be role models:
Carson to make acting debut
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback great Carson Palmer makes his acting debut on Disney's hit animated series "The Replacements," SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 2007 (8:00-8:30 p.m., ET/PT) on Disney Channel.
Palmer guest stars as himself in the episode when Todd (voiced by Nancy Cartwright) and his best friend Jacobo (voiced by Candi Milo) argue over who gets possession over the football that Palmer throws for his record-breaking touchdown.
"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Disney on 'The Replacements.' It was a great experience and I was proud to play a part in teaching children the importance of sharing. I am very thankful that Disney afforded me this great opportunity and am now a big fan of the show!," said Palmer, the 2002 Heisman Trophy winner and #1 overall draft pick in 2003 from the University of Southern California (USC). A two time All-Pro Quarterback, Palmer led the NFL in touchdown passes 2005 and set franchise records for quarterback single season passes (32) and single season completions (345 yards).
Oh that's okay as long as he's not T.O.
I am waiting for the media to ask if this is the result of them having a black coach.
Would this fall under the democrat's "culture of corruption", or the NCAA's "lack of institutional control"?
If only it was cocaine, then he could run for President.

.... and, my grandmother used to belong to The Fruit of The Month Club.
Dang - the Bengals are becoming Baja Miami University...
If you're going to get arrested and futher embarrass the franchise, at least go for big crimes--felonies, not these measly misdemeanors. Murder, armed robbery, kidnapping. That's the way to the big-time.
Well, these guys are trying to be role models by keeping it at the misdemeanor level.
I suppose that would make this the "Bad Apple of the Month" club...
FWIW, that brings the arrest total to a nice, round 20% of the 45-man roster...
****
Now that is funny!
