Marcus Thomas arrested in Clay County

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Marcus Thomas was arrested in Clay County and charged with possession of a controlled substance during a traffic stop early Saturday, according to Thomas’ attorney and an Orange Park Police Department arrest log.
A full police report was not available at press time Sunday evening.
Thomas, 22, a former University of Florida and Mandarin High standout, was a passenger in the car, according to Charles Truncale, Thomas’ attorney.
“He [Thomas] was in a vehicle in which a small plastic baggie containing what appeared to be a trace amount of cocaine was found. He [Thomas] did not possess it, nor did he have knowledge of it, until the stop of the vehicle. That’s what happened. He is not guilty of the charge from which he has been arrested,” Truncale told the Times-Union.
Truncale said both the driver and Thomas were arrested because police didn’t know which man to charge.
Thomas recently finished his rookie season with the Broncos after being selected in the fourth round last April. He was suspended for most of his final season at Florida in 2006 after he had a positive drug test, then for violating curfew and drug rehabilitation class provisions of a contract he signed to remain with the team.
Thomas played in all 16 games for the Broncos in 2007 and had 20 tackles.
