(BCSNN) -- Georgia safety Ja’Marley Riddle was arrested May 8 on two felony drug charges and a misdemeanor speeding charge, according to a police report obtained by WGIG 98.7 FM — a disappointing development for a player who had built a strong early résumé before transferring to Georgia.

Riddle, who played his first two seasons at East Carolina, faces felony counts of purchase, possession, manufacture, distribution or sale of marijuana, and sale of a schedule I or II controlled substance. He also faces a misdemeanor speeding charge. He posted bond on all three charges.

“We are aware of the charges and are actively gathering additional information,” a University of Georgia spokesperson told ESPN. “As this is an ongoing legal matter, we will not be providing further comment at this time.”

According to the police report, Riddle was “traveling at a high rate of speed” on I‑95 when a detective in an undercover vehicle observed a red Dodge Durango “weaving in and out of traffic.” The detective reported his patrol car was traveling about 95 mph “and the Durango was still gaining distance on him.”

Officers stopped Riddle and noted he appeared “extremely nervous, shaking” as he spoke. After handing over his license and registration, an officer detected the odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.

“Because of his nervous behavior, I asked him to step out of the vehicle while we continue the traffic stop,” the officer wrote.

Riddle denied having marijuana in the vehicle and consented to a search. Officers reported finding “a large heat‑sealed bag” in a backpack in the back seat, containing “a large amount of multicolored packaging, some with a leafy substance stating marijuana, and some containing vapes stating THC.”

Riddle, 19, had been a productive defender at East Carolina, totaling 133 tackles, 10 passes defensed and six interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown, in his two seasons with the Pirates — making the arrest an especially disappointing setback as he began his career at Georgia.
