COLUMBUS — Ohio State athletic department officials remained silent Friday, June 12, on football recruit Jamaal Berry, who faces drug charges in Miami.

Berry admitted to buying the marijuana found in his car Thursday morning, a Miami-Dade County arrest report shows.

He was pulled over after he ran a red light at 12:10 a.m. Thursday. The officer saw a bag of marijuana on the backseat and wrote in his report that Berry, who is from Miami, “stated that he had just bought the narcotics approximately one hour before and planned to smoke the narcotics with friend.” The bag contained about 28 grams of marijuana, the report said, which is about 1 ounce. Berry was charged with third-degree felony possession.

Previously under head coach Jim Tressel, there have been four players charged with felonies, and none played for OSU again.
