Texas A&M freshman Micah Tease arrested day before first game

In August, the university police department changed its marijuana enforcement policy and said it would no longer arrest students found with two or fewer ounces of marijuana. Instead, the marijuana would be confiscated the person released.

Tease’s arrest by the College Station Police Department came off of campus.

Tease, who was the state’s No. 3 college football recruit, committed to Texas A&M back in April after decommitting to Arkansas.

“It’s been a long journey,” Tease said at the time, via Tulsa World. “It’s definitely a sense of relief for the recruiting process to all be over. But I can’t be more blessed, can’t be more thankful.”

The 6-foot-1, 190-pound receiver had more than 25 college offers before settling on Texas A&M. During his introductory press conference, Tease vowed that the university was getting as much value off the field as it was on the field. He probably didn’t envision a low-level marijuana arrest just five months later.
