Former Ohio State and Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor is facing some legal trouble. 

Police arrested the 36-year-old for drug possession in Pennsylvania back in May, with news only breaking this weekend. 

WPXI reports that officers spotted Pryor lying in the back seat of a vehicle after pulling it over. He was breathing heavily, and a rifle was on the floor. 

They asked him to step out of the vehicle and noticed a “baggie of powdery substance” while he was producing his concealed carry permit for the firearm.

“According to the criminal complaint, officers pulled over a black Mercedes with tinted windows after it was speeding on Mosside Boulevard on May 24. Police noticed someone in the back seat, and asked the driver to roll down the windows,” the report reads.

“Police said Pryor was lying in the back seat of the car in an ‘odd’ manner and was breathing heavily. A rifle was seen on the floor, and officers asked Pryor to get out,” it continues. “While Pryor was pulling out his wallet to give police his concealed carry permit, police noticed a baggie of a powdery substance, suspected to be MDMA.”
