Incoming freshman running back charged with drug possession

Incoming Iowa freshman running back Greg Garmon was charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to numerous sources in Erie, Pa.

Garmon — who was expected to travel to Iowa City this week and begin summer training — was pulled over by police on June 1 at 6:35 p.m. and allegedly found with marijuana in the vehicle, reported WJET-TV.

Garmon rushed for 2,859 yards and 27 touchdowns while playing at McDowell High School.

With Garmon’s scholarship in jeopardy, Iowa has four remaining running backs on the roster: walk-on junior Andre Dawson, sophomores Damon Bullock and De’Andre Johnson, and incoming freshman Barkley Hill.
