Eagles wide receiver charged for pot, gun after traffic stop
Authorities say a Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Josh Huff has been charged with possessing an unloaded 9-mm handgun without a permit and a small amount of marijuana after he was pulled over for speeding.
A court complaint filed in Gloucester City, New Jersey, said that Huff was pulled over on the Walt Whitman Bridge around 11 a.m. Tuesday.
A Delaware River Port Authority officer said the gun’s magazine was next to the gun and it wasn’t loaded.
Huff’s bail was set at $25,000.
The Eagles said in a statement that they are aware of the incident and are gathering more information.
Agents for Huff did not immediately return a message seeking comment from The Associated Press.
Huff was the Eagles’ third-round pick in 2014 from Oregon. He has two touchdowns this season, including a 98-yard kick return.
