Dolphins defensive tackle Leon Orr was arrested Tuesday on charges of possessing marijuana and a controlled substance, and on Wednesday Orr was released.
Dolphins Coach Adam Gase told reporters the team found out about the arrest during practice Wednesday and released Orr immediately.
Orr faces a misdemeanor marijuana charge and a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance. Orr posted a $7,000 bond according to the Collier County Sheriff’s Office, which pulled Orr over on Interstate 75 for illegally tinted windows.
Substances that later tested positive for marijuana and THC were found in Orr’s backpack, according to the police report.
Orr, 24, made the Raiders as an undrafted rookie last year and played in three games. Orr was cut by the Raiders in September and first joined the Dolphins on the practice squad. He played in five games for the Dolphins but was inactive last week.
