The second-year cornerback was pulled over at around 7:30 p.m. for failing to stop at a stop sign, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX31.
The officer detected a smell of marijuana, but Hicks denied any being in the car. A police search turned up a firearm under the driver’s seat, a marijuana cigarette, multi-colored foil baggies and elastic baggies containing cannabis, according to the report.
There were two other passengers in the car at the time of Hick’s arrest.
