Packers’ Jolly to appear in court on drug charge

HOUSTON (AP) – Troubled Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Johnny Jolly is scheduled to be in court after his most recent arrest on a drug charge in Houston.

Jolly is set to appear Wednesday morning to hear the two counts of possession of a controlled substance. He has been in the Harris County Jail since his arrest early Friday.

A police spokesman said officers found a bottle containing 600 grams of codeine and another containing an unidentified substance under the front seats of Jolly’s car.

Jolly was suspended by the NFL without pay for all of last season for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. The ban stemmed from a separate drug arrest in 2008, when he was charged with possession of at least 200 grams of codeine.
