Mizzou football player Ka’Ra Stewart of O’Fallon, Ill., was dismissed from the team Monday after being arrested on suspicion of possessing fewer than 35 grams of marijuana, according to the university police department.
Stewart, a freshman who was redshirted in 2012, was arrested for the same offense in November and paid a $200 fine, according to court records.
A spokesman for the university police said the department received a report of a marijuana odor coming from Stewart’s room. He told officers he did not have marijuana and would not allow them to search his room. After obtaining a search warrant, officers returned and arrested Stewart.
